These links will get you to previous posts where some of the referenced bulls are pictured.

Hope you enjoy the pictures. Any comments are welcome. I think they'll start me off in the right direction.

I like the first one.. and the "ole yeller"..
those beefmasters are hard to beat for momma cows.

I don't see the pics, only "image"

 

[ALACOWMAN]

nice group ;-)

 

[bigbull338]

those are some nice well bred beefmasters.sounds like your herd is mostly buster beefmaster bred cows.

 

[texast]

Those are nice looking cattle. They look like cow's should look in my book not with all the show feed and what nots. Beefmasters has always been one of my favorite breeds.

I just took those pictures yesterday. The more I looked at the black one, the more I liked her. L Bar 5502's descendants usually look pretty good. If she milks like she looks, I ought to be in good shape. The 8799 daughter is also probably my favorite bred heifer. The daughter of 7615 (last one) is very good...her picture doesn't do her much justice. Of course, I think the worst one is pretty good, or I probably wouldn't have brought 'em home.

sounds like your herd is mostly buster beefmaster bred cows.

You're right. My bull and two open heifers are from Orr Beefmasters. The two heifers are grand daughters of Lasater 7615, so they'll be related.

Did you buy anything at the sale?

Pretty animals... Ole Yeller has a nice tight underline and that bull calf really is a good lookin' fella...

Congratulations.

The red mottle face heifer and the light red star face heifer are the only two I purchased private treaty. The other 4 (and calf) came from the sale. I was looking for foundation beefmaster genetics. I purchased from 4 different consigners...but they were all Larry Buster's breeding.

Thanks. I'm hoping (and praying even more) for good things.

:lol: You probably should've asked before the sale. Now, I'm walking around asking people the same thing. ;-)

You did really well. Shoot, I'd mortgage the farm (again) for a whole herd of those girls. They will pay you back.

 

[manaftergodsheart413]

East Caney you did well, I think that is a tremendouse bunch of cattle in my opinion your off to a great start. I wonder if you put the screws to buster as well as mr orr lol

 

[East Caney]

Just thought I'd give an update on the bull calf I purchased in the sale. I think he's coming along pretty well. He and his mother will benefit from green grass which should arrive here very soon. Any opinions on the bull will be appreciated.

 

[bigbull338]

you got a nice beefmaster bull calf there.he is a nice bodied bull.how far from weaning is he.i think id wean him.an start pouring the feed to him.would like to see how much he puts on with good feed.

 

[DOC HARRIS]

What a great group of Beefmasters! Good for you! Wait until three days from now when it finally sinks in that they are really yours!

Doc, I bought them back in October, so the reality has set in...almost needless to say I'm still pleased. Calves from the 5 I bought bred should start arriving mid-April. Thanks to you and BB for the kind comments.

He was 193 days old in the picture. I would really like to get some cheap lbs from momma's milk and green grass. She's a heck of a milker. But she's been drawn down pretty good due to lower quality hay (due to 2007 rains) and limited supplement. He'll probably be weaned in another 3 weeks or so.

His birthday makes him ineligible for any of the performance test sales that I'm aware of. I think there may be some sales that I could get him in. More than likely, I'll just try and sell him private treaty once he's breeding age.

He's not perfect, but I think he's good enough to take a chance on. He's a nice thick calf, polled (scurred) for those who don't like to dehorn, good muscle, adds some ear without the sheath, and he's almost solid red.

Anybody see anything (flaws) that would keep you from taking a chance on him (assuming you raise or would raise bulls)?

Thanks, EC

He looks real good EC. Keep us posted. Are you planning to keep him and sell as a 2 year old?

I had a nice looking registered bull calf this year that I thought about raising up, but after thinking it through, I just don't have the pens or the time to deal with one bull calf away from the herd until it was time to put him back with the herd. But if this is the direction you are headed for the future, nows as good a time as any to get going. Good luck to you.
