That one was born in the frozen water n stuff. Heifer. Doin real good now. Had a first calf heifer reject her first born. We argued till she finally accepted that it was certainly hers. Been lucky this year
Big boy
In my opinion a Hereford is a better breed than angus... somewhere the angus kick took over. Angus are easy enough to raise but I’ll always love those red n white devils.
They're similar breeds. Most of the desire for them relates to the size of the loin. Angus are a little longer
I just love the big boy 2 there. I raised Hereford n charlaious. Or however you spell the white beef cow. The white ones are bad *s-word crazy. I’ve had very good success with the angus. I think the ribeye on a Hereford is just the bees knees man. I think we splitting hairs on any beef cow The black started damanding money so I started breeding my red heads to mr Murff the black bull. Slowly changed over to all black. I’ve got Hereford in everything I sell now. Grabbed a few pure angus to mix into my herd of half n half’s. Then grabbed a baldie bull( I’m callin a baldie half angus half Hereford ). But yeah that’s my get up. Handsome Red Bull’s you had there
We had a couple black baldies. The bull we had before the big one had too big of a head to breed the heifers. It killed 5 heifers while calving (Pretty Boy's mom was one of them). Dad picked up an Angus bull to breed his heifers until he found the big Hereford bull above. After that, he didn't have anymore problems. Smaller head, I guess.
I made out very well breeding black bull to red cows. Takes a bit of tweekimg to get a Red Bull that works well with black cattle. I’ve just shyed away from it as I lost more that way. Likely the head. I like a blocky head on an angus. With the Herefords you want a sorta smaller head. Funny how that adds up though.
Y'all are making me want to dig out the photo album and fire up the scanner. We had professional photographs done of some of our show cattle, and I'm gettin' a bit of the nostalgic feels...
That’s a job I can live without. Simmental I’m not familiar with. I’m gonna google them
