[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 700928, member: 5783"] MoGal... Ya the galloways do well up here. Dad has experience with red poll, but im not sure how it went. Mostly selling bulls to customers, and I am sure they had good luck. I agree completely about the mineral program. And yes from the reading I have done as well, you might only get 3-4 years, but its still putting on longevity. The 550lb bull calves were 9-10 months, but with 1/8 bison you are looking at an animal that is going to gain as a beef animal would, if not more, as well as not showing any bison characteristics. The reading I have done seems to indicate that crossing the bison onto beef cows increases their feed efficiency and therefore increasing weining weight. Lets just hope thats true. [/QUOTE]
