        Last visit of this season. Have just realised how many nights out this summer involved human sacrifice in some form (artistic representations, not the real thing). Should I (or you) be worried?

        The Rite of Spring tonight.

            No worries, we’ll sign up as followers.
            Let’s wait and see whether @Matt follows this nascent craze.

            The journey is the objective.

                        Today was the start of the 2023/24 Clipper ventures round the world race. We went out on SAKURA to see them off, our very own @ian72 was with us, he skippered Qingdao in the 2011/12 race. Alex Thomson who we were with in the Channel Islands last week, won the 1998/99, and is still the youngest skipper to have won the race. We had a lovely day....

                                    Got back last night after 5 days at the ranch. Hot and dusty out there this time of year. A variety of pics of general stuff which was going on.

                                    I’ll be back there in a month to check for pregnancies and inseminate another group of cows.

                                    The journey is the objective.

                                          @Aetas Mukesh is definitely the handsomer of the two…he was used extensively to breed for cattle show purposes (BIG in Brazil) but he also has solid productivity characteristics in him, which is what I look for. Truck is the gentler of the two, hard to pick a fight with him, and produces ‘milkier’ offspring than Mukesh.

                                          @goosehd glad you like my Nelore herd. This time of year, being at the tail end of the dry season (winter), I’m definitely happy to see my cows haven’t lost more weight. Promises to be a good cycle both for raising healthy calves and achieving a high pregnancy rate. My ranch holds between 1000 and 1200 reproductive females with the current infrastructure on it. It can do better but it would require more investment in fences, watering holes and reducing weed proleferation. But we are still a work in progress….after 14 years. This stuff takes more patience than waiting for IH to produce the next batch of caps.
                                          I usually sell males at weaning. I’m more interested in the breeding aspects: choosing bulls and evaluating their offspring characteristcs…stuff like that.

                                          The journey is the objective.

                                            @motojobobo I’m fascinated by all of this. I grew up around a lot of beef and dairy cattle here in the states and had never heard of the Nelore breed so had to look it up. My grandfather had a small herd (70-100) cows on our farm. He tinkered with different breed combinations like a hobby. Hereford, Angus, Charolais, Jersey, Limousine…we always joked his herd looked like a patchwork quilt. He never used AI but I worked on a dairy farm and helped do it a few times. 117 in a day is a lot of work!!! I really enjoy hearing your stories and seeing the pictures. Thanks for sharing
