My Acclaims were slow coming on. They are not the biggest or nicest of the group but they are nice. Got a pair of 3/4 sisters. 1 is out of a Bismarck other is out of Bismarck's dam that is a TCA Accruel x Power Tool. They are changing faster than the rest of the bunch tho.

We had one that looked like a little stud early on but the others were just “eh”. They’re really hitting a sweet spot now and it’ll be interesting to see how they continue. I’d say the same for the Epics. We’ve been less than impressed but they’re starting to be a lot more put together now. We plan to wean the 1st week of August but May keep them a little longer if our grass continues to do well. |

All your mommas look like that? She looks as solid as the calf is.
He keeps growing, momma will have to get on ladder for him to nurse thru August.

I would say though, we chose her as a recip because we felt she could handle an Acclaim, whom we expected could really bring down a cow if they didn't milk good. She's a champ!

Another good one. Looked a little 'tight' in the rear walking but then I realized he was walking downhill.
How old is this one?

It’s so hard to get these guys not on the move. I have a girl that I’m just in love with but I’m afraid as much as she hides from me, she may have some temperament down the road (Discovery calf). |

We brought one of the flushmates home last night cuz he happened to stick around with another calf we had to take to vet and this fella seemed a little droopy in the ear.
Treated him, just in case. Put him across the scale. 567lbs and he was born 02/10. We'll be weaning them all before long which is somewhat unfortunate because he could use another few weeks on pasture for his 205. But I was impressed! He's probably the smallest of the flush group.
