[QUOTE="Beefalocw, post: 1015254, member: 20575"] I kept protein supplement out most of the time, but often had 2 calves in 10 or 11 months. Mine were very docile, and loved to be brushed, you could hold up an apple, or shake a bucket of feed and they would come running. My bulls would let you work with them anywhere, they didn't have to even be in a corral, much less the chute to vaccinate, worm, dehorn, etc. I could put a rope around their neck and lead them anywhere, although usually didn't need the rope as they followed me anywhere I went. They often are fertile for well over 20 years, are excellent mothers, have extra rich milk, and have little birthing problems like english breeds do. Never pulled a Beefalo calf, but did have to pull some Charolais, and Angus calves before however. Most of my mama cows weighed in the 1500 lb range, and the bulls in the 2500 lb range. I had several steers that gained to the 850-1000lb range in 1 year with no hormones. Heifers usually take an extra year to calve, but produce way longer than english breeds where a 10 yr old mama cow is old. [/QUOTE]
