Spring will be here eventually...at least we hope so! Lots of rain in northern Illinois over the past week and it sounds like more is in store for the coming week. Not much corn (if any) has been planted.
Lots of things happening around the farm. Wrapping up calving here the end of April and into the first part of May. The Jan/Feb. calves are really starting to take off. Breeding season is in full swing as well, and our first round of embryos went in this last week. If you are still deciding which bulls to use this spring, give the MCF bull lineup consideration. We have semen available on Airline, the 2010 Res. Grand Champion at Keystone. We also have a limited amount of semen on our newest herdsire, True Grit. He is an About Time son out of a 417L daughter. Lots of maternal, style and low birth weight!
Best of luck to all of our customers as the 2011 show season begins to pick up. We are planning to be up at Lancaster next weekend for their jackpot show. This year the Wisconsin Hereford Association is sponsoring a regional junior show in Monroe. That is only 40 minutes north of the farm, so if you are making the trip to the show please plan to stop by!
Last, but not least, Happy Easter to everyone!

2011 Calves
Hey everyone! Follow what is going on at Mud Creek Farms with our new Blog. I will update this periodically with news and important info. As always you can visit our website at http://www.mudcreekfarms.com/ for information about our Hereford operation.
2011 spring calving is going well! Approximately 30 calves are on the ground as of 4/15 and we are excited about the matings. The Airline calves look good...very stout and should be deep bodied, easy fleshing cattle.
We are really excited about the matings on the ground by our two main donors, Kella and Giselle. As of today we have 7 calves out of Kella: 4 out of Nitro, 2 out of Online and her natural calf sired by Airline. We have two heifer calves out of Giselle and S109, a horned bull that came from Oschner's...talk about style!
Going to wrap up this innaugural blog post...anxious to get your thoughts on it! Call or email anytime to talk cattle!
