  YES,,,Thats a white face calf.  YES,,,  It was intentional.    YES,,,  she is cute, isnt she !!  Some of our commercial angus cattle were bred to club calf bulls last year,  this calf out of Carpe Deim, was both first of March.  Great weather for calving this year,  70’s, 80’s and even a 92 was great weather for babies being born…  we must have bred to good bulls,  haven’t pulled a calf this year,   my fingers are crossed…

  It started in late January,  with two inches of wet snow,  every drop soaked in….    Now in april, just 90 days later,  we have had over 9 inches of rain.  Every three or four days, we will get another 1/2 inch to inch of rain…  over Easter weekend, we received almost two inches.  Pastures are green and growing and wheat is heading out,,, thats not good !!

 Congratulations to Blane Steckline,  Who showed Big Mack, a predominately black steer and won Reserve Grand Champion at the Angus Futurity in January in Hutchinson, Ks.   The prize was a Show Stick provided by the Kansas Angus Association, proudly displayed by Blane.

  It was a happy day for the family as Tess Steckline Toews graduated from Oklahoma State University a semester early with a degree in Agricultural Communications.  Tess and Glen have decided to buy a modular home and live on the ranch south of Garden Plain, Ks.

Congratulations to Blane Steckline for his Reserve Grand Champion placing at the Black and Gold Calf quest livestock show in Columbia Missouri.  Casper has been his 4-h project all year and was reserve champion charolais at the Kansas State Fair.   This was the last show for the year,  everyone had a very successful show year and look forward to next year!
