03/15/15: Can you believe it . . Gunsmoke has grown up and yesterday went to the butcher! How time flies!
If you scroll down you'll see his "baby" pictures from 4 years ago. Pics of some of our other calves, who are also growing up . . WOW
CJ
04/14/12: Posted some new pics at the bottom of this post, taken 04/13/12.
Thanks for letting me share!
CJ
04/01/12: meet "Peyrone", bull calf born yesterday (03/31/12) to "Patty" . . . "Gunsmoke" is the big brother in the pasture!
See pic of "Peyrone" at bottom of this post . . he's just about totally reddish brown.
Thanks for letting me share!
CJ
P.S. The name? My hubby named him! Beats me!
(this is the original post from March 2011)
Well, I'll have to get a picture posted but just thought I'd share with you that our Longhorn cow, "Peppermint Patty" had a bull calf yesterday. He is named "Gunsmoke"!!!
What fun!

While I was taking the last round of pics I was close enough to the calves that Snowflake, the white Longhorn "mama" decided to approach. She has a very impressive set of horns and I started backing away. A few minutes later we saw her scratching her butt with the tip of one of her horns . . . handy "backscratcher" to have.

Hey Natalie,
Nope the Angus part is horned. Our bull is built like an Angus and has "Angus style" horns but his markings are absolute Longhorn with the red/white brindling. He's interesting to see!
Love your Scottish Highlands cows! We saw lots of those on our travels in Scotland and there was a guy here locally who raised them for a time. I haven't seen them lately so he's either not raising them or has moved them from where they used to be.

CJ your animals are just so beautiful! I love horned beasties (obviously)- they definitely demand respect, but they're so striking!
I envy you so much with your calves :) I can't wait for my first calf to drop on the property.
With the 1/4 Angus, are any of your calves polled ever? Or is the source of Angus horned? Sorry, just curious :)
Thanks for sharing your pics! My baby fever is fed for a good week ;)

Great shots CJ! Thanks so much for sharing these pictures, and I too would love to live with your vistas- between the pasture with the longhorns and the mountain views.....Ahhhh, Just beautiful!
**And of course we cant forget to mention how purr-ty Bramble is**

Bramble looks like my dog Freckles. She is half border collie and half red healer. She's also a great dog. She never wants to be more than 50 ft from me and just adores me. I didn't teach her like that she just does it.

Oh my gosh, what a cute family. I bet it took a little to remember that family tree ... uncle, cousin,.. . from Peyrone's POV!
Such a beautiful life you have, CJ. So wonderful to know you treasure it.

Growing up!!

Yes, the horns . . . one must always watch them if you get very close. They can definitely be weapons!!! Their horns aren't always exactly the same configuration, either. One may have some that curve more up and out, more up or be straighter out. We had one heifer that had some that were straighter out and the span was so wide she had to turn her head to get into a livestock trailer!!
Bramble, the doggie, knows to be very cautious of the horns too!

Very pretty cattle for sure. But those horns! Good grief! We have some out here and they are huge. There are also some of the Watusi cattle around here. Now those horns are impressive. And scary. But beautiful at the same time.
