Picked up a few new to us middle age bred commercial cows from Curt Steinbron down the road. The 3 looking at you in pic one are new as well as the ones in the other pics. I like the white faced one in the pic by herself. I think she is full simi, though i am not 100% sure. She definitely has a serious frame on her, maybe too much. I suppose you need that frame to pack on the monster weights the packers seem to want these days. I guess they are trying to increase pounds of product since cattle numbers are lower by making feeders feed more to get the bigger sizes. As my neighbor Steve says $7 corn turns to $6 corn in their mouths. I suppose with out alternative feed sources it is a great way to loss money.
