Nice looking calves John. Gonna look up Mrnak. Never heard of it. Hope you get some rain. It is starting here….

We have been using Loren Mrnak’s horned Hereford bulls (Whitmore, CA) for over fifteen years on our Angus cows to add crossbred vigor and size to our calves, as well as for their maternal traits for our replacement heifers. Every once in awhile, perhaps 1 in 50 calves, the genetics align to produce a ‘jim dandy’, like this one, 600+ pounds @ 6 months on a poor feed year, 100 pounds more than his mates. Imagine what he’ll look like if we get some well-spaced rains in the next two months! Feed’s short, but strong.
