September marks the start of some of the most exciting times of the year. You have college and NFL football starting, the temperature starts to drop to sweatshirt weather, and sale and show season is in full swing. My favorite time of the year is when you go to the mailbox and there is a shiny sale catalog waiting on you. It's always exciting to see the new calves from the sires that you have been watching and see what has been clicking with different females.
September also marks the start of weaning for many cattle farmers around the country. For us weaning started a couple months ago in July thanks to #drought12. Well we finally have everything weaned and started on feed and the calves are progressing very well. We have many nice heifers that will be available this year. There are some really nice Airline and T-Bone daughters that would make nice additions to any herd. The bull crop was strong as well and I am extremely excited about a Purple Tonic 10M bull calf that we have. He is out of a first calf TLR Dom heifer that did a fantastic job of raising him. There is also a nice TH 122 71I Victor 719T bull calf and some cool Airline bull calves as well.
The calves will be ready to look at and take home after Sept. 16 and we look forward to showing everyone the calves. Be sure to follow us on Twitter @amcherefords for picture updates on the calf crop. We already have one up of the Tonic bull after he found the mud the other day. If you want to set up an appointment to view the calves I can be reached by email @ cosgraypolledherefords@gmail.com or by phone @ 765.490.6286.
