The cattle themselves are not much different. Swede has some nice looking cattle. But how would you like to be forced, by law, to "barn" all of your cattle in the winter? :o Talk about a nightmare! I bet if the animal rights nuts hear about that, they'll start pushing for that here in the...

Most likely you are wrong (which is the only question I could decipher for sure), and should be corrected, but your post confuses me so much that I'm not sure.

I have two Galloway bulls and have just started calving out the third crop of calves this Spring. The bulls are very docile and extremely easy keepers in the Winter. I'm in NE Oklahoma and it was quite hot and dry this past Summer and they did not do as well then, but we've had some hard...

Red Bull X Grey Goose is pretty good. ;-)

It's clear that they are B. indicus type cattle, but it's curious that as they got smaller, their ears and sheaths got disproportionately smaller. I wonder if this is possible in the full sized versions?

My dad has raised them for years (since the late 70's), and has culled very few based on disposition. They have lived up to their nickname "Gentle Giants". They are a pleasure to handle in the corral, pens, and chute. They are very maternal and are good milk producers. He had some calving...

I like the looks of that LH bull. And living near the end of the "Trail of Tears" I especially like his name! :clap:

My father has raised South Devons since 1980. Initially registered cattle, then commercial, and for the past 8 years or so, various levels of crossing with Angus. They live up to their nickname "Gentle Giants". All of the following are generalities regarding my experience with South Devons...

For freezer beef I would like to start with a Hereford X Galloway mating to produce a cow. Then breed this cow to an Angus bull to produce the next generation cow. Then breed this cow to a Wagyu bull for the terminal cross. Probably never happen, but would like to try it. :lol:

Glad to hear that. Guess it wasn't Oculocutaneous Albinism? I assume it's not spontaneously reversible. :lol:

Frankie, I agree with the rest of your post, but how does one make these statements jibe?

Thanks.

Mike C, if you're still following this thread, I'm sorry, I made the assumption that if you were posting it without commentary that you agreed with it. I don't see the disparity in the comparison. If crossbred cattle have heterosis, and heterosis "will in fact produce more lbs. of beef than...

SCf, when can one be sure that a cow is "broke to sale"? Sorry memanpa, I know you posted that "IT IS OVER", but the curiosity was killing me!

Thanks for posting that article MikeC. It was interesting. To preface the rest of this post, I'm not a seedstock producer, and I prefer to raise crossbred cattle and utilize various crosses. However, when I sell "freezer beef" it is easier to get a premium from potential buyers when their...

It may very well be the albinism disorder, so I'm not discounting that possibility. But, we had a calf with blue eyes born here about 4 years ago. She was out of a smallish white crossbred (salebarn :shock: ) cow with some ear, and an Angus bull. The calf was black with a little bit of white...

What do you all think of this bull's potential? Spur Success 2801; AAA#14327307. Owned by Spur Ranch and SydGen, his first crop of sons sell at the Spur Ranch sale later this month. I don't know if semen is available or not.

That's good if you're the buyer, but if you're the seller and the buyer is not so objective (or has the "wrong colored eyes"), then that works against you. This is usually the case for most of us - being mostly sellers.
