19 month old hereford bull

[KNERSIE]

One of two of last year's bull crop that I retained for own use. This was taken today exactly three weeks after I've pulled him from the breeding pasture where he was running with 19 cows for 66 days. He is on good pasture at the moment and I've just started him on feed to be shown at the end of February.

Great looking bull. I just bought 18 hereford or rwf replacements but they don't have that kind of muscle.

He's a smashing looking fella and I'll bet he throws some good progeny.
My only moan would be that his chest is not that big but that may well be due to the camera angle.
That aside a bull to be proud of indeed !
Jon :tiphat:

Awesome looking bull once again Knersie.

Jon go look up Knersie's posts and take a look at the cattle he has posted. There are NO bad cattle in his herd. I'm not picking on you, just stating a fact.

He looks pretty darn good to me!!

Nice looking bull, Knersie. Plenty of muscle and in good shape after breeding.

I've been wondering where you got your tag line. Seems I read the same quote somewhere recently.

 

[jhambley]

Very nice bull as always.

Kernsie's tag line is a quote by Warren Buffett.

Has anyone read Snowball? It is a very good read. I highly recommend it.

Very good bull. Well muscled, smooth made and trim.

Great calf Knersie- I'd love a paddock full of them just the same. Hope he goes well at the show- please keep us updated on what happens. Be interesting to see some photos of whatever might beat him there as a comparison too.

thanks

No probs I know you're not picking on me and I've looked at some of his other animals and agree he knows his stuff.
I'm not saying this bull is bad, just that I'd prefer it to have a larger chest.
I think it's a UK thing, we have smaller longer bulls over here.

Knersie - real nice - as always.
You posted a pic of a female on another thread, saying she had twins shortly after the pic was taken. Anyway, I noticed your hay feeder in the background. Is that a plastic feeder? Could you get your hay bales any bigger? Looks like there may be an inch of space you didn't fill up. :banana:

that bull didnt lose any weight running with the cows.he is a well bred bull to boot.

 

[KNERSIE]

Here are two more pics of the same bull.

Jeanne, the hayring is made out of boiler piping that was then galvanised after welding. One person can handle it, but only just.

 

[rocket2222]

He should look pretty darn good in the show ring with the extra muscle he has now and a little more finish on him.

 

[KNERSIE]

I have forgotten about that photo, he was just over a year old then and about three weeks after coming out of the test

 

[LaneFarms]

knersie great looking bull. I wish we had breeders over here that bred more for phenotype instead of just chasing numbers.

Very nice bull should do well for you. South Africa has some good cattle of a number of breeds. SA Brahman genetics are doing well here. I'd like some South Devon ones one day.
