Calving season has come and gone and it looks like the Bryans are in the bull business again. Just as last year, we have all bull calves with the exception of one heifer. This is the first year that we have calved through triple digit temperatures, however the girls are tough and are keeping good condition through the stress of heat and nursing their new calves.

We’ll register these calves as 100% purebred, category 1A breeding stock. As part of the registration process, each calf has to be weighed and that weight recorded with the RAAA. We have our weighing process down to a science. I stand on the bathroom scale and Don puts the calf in my arms. This year’s calf crop averaged 68 pounds.
