Some Simmentals; Angus/dairy cross; and some composite breeds (composite=hfd/angus/gelbvieh/simmental).
Thanks very much for the tip about the bull calves and scurs. I shall check them out for that. :)
Thanks for your replies. I hope they are scurs!
The calves are only 8 weeks old (max) so all I have seen are the little buds.
At what stage will I know if they are scurs or horns and how do I tell??
I understood that a homozygous polled bull would leave me with polled projeny even when put...
Hi
Last year I purchased a pedigree and registered polled Hereford bull specifically because I did not want to dehorn calves.
Now some of the calves are just starting to show horn buds :o !!
Have you ever heard of this happening with a polled Hereford? :?:
I have seen the bull's pedigree...
I am a fan of Simmentals and have a few Sim cows in my herd. I am interested in the comment that Sim-Angus is a good cross; I have heard this before.
Why, specifically, is a Sim-Angus a better cross than a Sim-Hereford?
