    Raising Chianina

    I agree I like the ANgus breed and yes they are good but you can find breeding problems and poor qualities in them as well as any other breed. I think it is bad when you go to the Ky Beef Expo or the North American and each breed looks the same. I will say the herefords are stayimg true to their...

    Raising Chianina

    You are exactly correct. I raise Fullblood chianin and percentage chis. I have more calls for fullbloods than anything else. The chi cattle as they are called today in my opinion are no more than angus. The breed has lost its way when it come to cattle. If you want a club calf bull than this is...

    Raising Chianina

    Plus of the breed: 1. Calves will grow very fast. 2. Easy calving most of our calves weigh about 70lbs when born. 3. You do not have to creep feed. Neg of the breed: 1. Most people have no clue about the breed. 2. Most of the percentage chi are poorly bred for working cattle. 3.

    Raising Chianina

    We raise the italian fullblood chianina. They do very well crossed on other breeds of cattle. The best cross we have found for the fullblood is on a shorthorn cow. We also raise a percentage herd of cows as well. We have been raising them for 30 years. Thanks Chris

    Looking for a unique breed

    I would say that the most unique breed would be the fullblood chianina crossed on any breed would super charge the offspring. I raise fullbloods and percentage chianina. We do not creep feed and only give worm and black leg shots. The chianina can handle the drought and wet weather as well as...
