Willy is the one that kicked azz. He packs it on and looks like a hippo during the winter, but he's already dropped a couple hundred pounds since I turned them out and he's practically svelte. Woody is tall and rangy - never gets fat and never gets too thin. This is my tub 'o lard in April with Tallywacker.
Nope!!! Their criteria for a bull is "black". EPD's? No. Vaccinations? Maybe once a year, maybe not. Fly control? That would be me, if his herd is near the fence while I'm spraying.
They keep that bull in all year, so calves are all over the place, definitely not a uniform calf crop. I don't know how they sell, based on that, and they generally round up a trailer full of calves a couple times a year and take them directly to the sale. They have the ugliest group of cows ever and they're skinny, covered with flies. But I feel so bad for them I end up giving them cubes, probably more than I should because they run over to the fence when they hear my Polaris.
I think that one was coming from a ways off.
On the plus side... he has enough oomph to jump a fence to get to cows.
it wasn’t this day was it..cause it looked like the perfect time..
That old boy probably laid more pipe than an oil worker. And bless his heart, he hung on about 3 more months.
Going on 4 years now, he either jumps or busts through. Hot wire means nothing to him. That said, partially my fault. He was our "guest" for almost 2 months last year, just hanging with the bulls, and he knows I've got the goods.
So how good are his calves?
I think he's a g@y bull.
@Travlr, Murray's not wrong. This time, he was in the central pasture, but last year when he was our "guest", he was, um, hanging with the bulls. Bromance?
That's a very good looking animal. Hard to tell, but might be a little post legged. If his calves look like him they should sell for big $
