    Welsh Black Caution

    Got a heads up from my purecountry bud that said someone was badmouthin us over here on this web site. I would rather not take this poor young fellow on and chastise his operation but would certainly like to respond to how he called our cattle miniature and "dink like". In fact the Welsh Black...

    Looks like you get the whole picture if you scroll down in the "Post a reply" section. Don't know how to expand it on the main page.

    Bull Picture

    Out playing with the old clippers today. Plan on taking this Welsh Black bull over to a trade show to promote our upcoming sale. 19 month old bull with no grain in him at all. Used on 25 cows last summer for about 60 days. About forty five of these rascals in our forage test and they are doing...

    Opinions on balance or Low BW

    Momma is the key. Always. Only other advice would be to make sure the bull is straight and not a homo like you mentioned in your first post. ;-)

    Bull selection opinions

    Good points concering the grain thing guys. And yes the Stout red Welsh Black bull had some grain in him for the photo. The bulls that we are offering for sale this year have none. We have been running our stock the way that "turning grass into beef" suggests for a long time now. Calve from mid...

    Pics of your herd bull

    We actually sent a few Welsh Black Bulls down to Mexico before all of this BSE BS started. They were black bulls gberry. most of our stock is black. This red bull just happens to be one of our current herd bulls. The feedback that we had from the Mexicans was that the bulls we sent shed off and...

    Pics of your herd bull

    Thanks for the compliments folks. I looked around a bit for some measurement on the bull but came up short this morning. I know that he was the highest scoring linear measuring bull that we have raised and his frame is definitely below a 5. He weighs about 2100 pounds. Yes Doc the picture may...

    Bull selection opinions

    Posted a picture of a bull you might consider on the "Picture of your herd bull" thread. A good friend and pubred charolais breeder used this bulls papa on some purebred cows and sold some hybrid Char/ Welsh Black (red) bulls. Lots of thickness - less frame and lots of hair. Randy

    rare breed and favorite

    Ah yes --- Mr. Maurice Boney. Met him about 5 years back in Billings and was very impressed with where he was going then. Other than the fact that he first had to create the Irish Blacks (composite breed) we both agreed that our Welsh Black had the same potential ----- if, and a big if --- we...

    rare breed and favorite

    I think the biggest problem that purebred breeders have is dealing with the word "better". If we could all admit that there are traits in every breed that when concentrated can produce animals and beef that is "just as good" as the best, we might make a bit more headway. Was reading a magazine...

    Black

    Geez Mike - In a round about way I was trying to compliment charolais cattle - but it seems you want it ALL. Are Charolais the answer to every cattlemans dream. I realise that some of the british breeds have chased the exotics in the frame score game, but I was genralising.

    Black

    Could open up a whole new debate on the color of the dam here Mike. White calfs mom has pretty well got to be white. That fellow is going to need more than 94.93 to pay the feed bill for momma. The Yellow White faced calves or the yellow calves from red carrier Angus cattle are probably the...

    Black

    99% Black and all registered fullblood cattle . Not an Angus animal on our farm. In fact the Black Angus may have got it's color from one of our breeds.

    Do your cows eat GRASS??

    Yes cow size has a lot to do with this grass feeding thing. The hard part about changing breeds to accommodate the change to smaller sized animals is that it takes time. All breeds can change - few have the advantage of almost always being there. Galloways and Welsh Blacks have been our choice...

    Black Cows = Black Angus

    Two more Black breeds for you Carnivore, both of which have books and pedigrees that reach back every bit as far as the Angus cattle. In fact some say that the Angus may have been created from these cattle. Welsh Black Cattle and Galloway Cattle. Both fit our Canadian Celtic brand name which...
