Let them get to the age where they can track mom down themselves and I think you’ll be golden.!

Are they feeding this guy? Good lord!

It *might* increase the digestibility of the protein but there’s still plenty of lactose in it.

Our family had done business with them for years so I never suspected there would be a problem.

If you can get them to agree to the latter it would be best especially with private treaty. I got into a year long fight with a breeder trying to get papers on a bull. Bought two, one the papers were transferred and the other did not. After finally threatening to turn them into the association I...

Not the worst spot. Easily can immobilize the joints above and below. Calves can heal a break as long as both ends are in the same room and you can keep the cast dry. I hope it works out.

This one has worked well so far for us. I just set up the refrigerator one with the same temps to use in the second freezer.

With those back feet I would flip him come fall and watch for something to come through from a place needing new blood in the herd. Glad you finally got the bull you needed.

I saw on a different post (same bull) it's Angus/Dexter. I don't buy that combo. The best part is the ball pic in the thumbnails.

I’ve seen that you raise your calves to slaughter. What are your inputs to get them to that size?

Very common in some breeds to keep the name on the maternal line. Some go back decades. To answer your other question the America bull that is listed as the paternal grand sire is the one all the fuss was made about. Seems like he faded out of the limelight pretty quick, which is what happens...
