I personally think that they are about the coolest looking cattle. But the neighbor that runs a few has definitely learned to feed ‘em all the way out, to where hide color doesn’t matter. And his aren’t true Speckle Parks, they’re actually almost completely Angus with a certain amount of...

Really nice females, long, feminine and as mentioned above, one of the great udder fixers out there. But the feet could be shallow. Sitz Angus used him with great success, several of their top sires back a few years were sons of FP, and now some of their current ones have Final Product dams...

Had a customer up here buy some Franchise semen, and they ended up showing one of the heifers. She is absolutely outstanding in my opinion, just super deep and powerful. Which isn’t surprising with Net Worth back there, what IS surprising is the fact that she says the docility is noticeably...

Well, I actually should’ve said that in the Angus breed MOST defects require a test free of the defect for at least bulls to be registered, even if the bull is just a potential carrier. Some of this has changed back and forth so I’m not sure without looking it up just exactly which defects are...

As is so often the case, it really depends what your goals are. By now, there are a ton of hoops that a typical registered bull has to jump through that a home raised bull won’t. That doesn’t mean the home raised bull is inferior or wouldn’t have been able to jump through those same hoops, just...

Finally followed my better sense and used Tahoe two years ago, after trying to buy a herd bull by him in Tehama’s sale. Boyd Beef and Select ended up with him.

I have yet to see Black Herefords that appear to have much to offer besides the black color... but there are some good options out there in either the Herfs or the Simmys. With your goal of heavy black hided weaned calves I’d say Simmental or SimAngus

I haven’t seen any but I’m sure Exclusive will give you a great calf. If I was to mate a Net Worth I’d be the most concerned about using a high Docility bull...I think Exclusive is supposed to be good there
