Always nice to get some recognition. Awards are not the reason we put effort and thought into how to improve our herd. We do it because we love our Boran and the Boran and (almost just as importantly) the people we have met through the Boran have changed our lives for the better.
Mixed group of 12-15 month old heifers consisting of pure Boran, pure Angus and almost every combination of the two. Being rotated from one camp to the next @intensive grazing (but not quite UHDG).
Big storm (dust and hopefully rain) coming in. Very dramatic.
