That bull is NOT a Brangus. No Brangus blood in him or he would be polled. Looks like a Plummer bull to me. One cow has some brahma blood the Btown Swiss colored one. Is tha you behind her? That one black cow has small horns, too. Still, a 6 mos old weaned calf is worth $500 easy. YThe ones in pics 2, 4, and 6 are decent enough looking calves. Is the owner telling you these cows, calves and the bull are Brangus?!!
No that is not me.
That one in the last picture is a steer - and he does look like he brahma blood in him, I agree.
I am not sure that the people we are talking too are very knowledgeable about cattle...
This evening he told us that his cattle (brangus) will eat bark off the trees, they will eat low branches off of trees - his pasture is eaten down - he says that he has all his cattle on about 5 to 5 1/2 acres and in my opinion they need to be rotated off -
My boyfriend wants to get at least the bull calf - but I am not sure if these calves are a heinz 57 mix, will they sale at the sale barn? Say we did take the bull calf and the 2 heifers we take them home and put 2 to 300 lbs on them like you suggested - take them to the sale barn - will we get money out of them?
I am tempted to go to the sale barns and possible get a couple of bred cow/calf and do it that way...
I have been paying more attention to what breeds of cattle that people have around here - the people down the street from of look like they have a bucking bull type - cows that have the horns like what I pictured above - he's got some very cute calves on the ground right now. I should stop and take some pictures - BUT
The most of the breeds I see around here are - herefords, black/red angus, charlois (sp) -
The people that are on the corner across from where I keep my horses have a big solid black bull he's huge in with a couple of holstein cows...
There is one lone white brahma bull that we see on our way to work, and we have watched him grow - he's all by himself but I think he can go out into their back pasture and I think they have some horses and miniature donkey...
