bull

Thinking of changing bulls.
Other than angus what bull to change to with Limousin cows? Thought about brangus.

Your answer will be as complete as the information you provide.

Time to tell us what size you are breeding to, age and what your goals are for your cow and calves, etc.

Otherwise the answer is - that'd work.

Cheers

Hereford would be a good calming influence on them if they tend to be nervous.

if you want top sellling feeder calves breed those limousins cows to a charlois bull. it will get you yellow calves and the yellow and the black are the top selling feeders in most areas and the charlois crosses will be bigger framed and outgrow the blacks unless the blacks are out of crossbred milky mothers---go with the charlois if you arent going to stay with the black, in my opinion

 

[Farmhand]

Could end up with some high strung cattle going with Charlais IMO. Like the Hereford idea. Maybe Simmental. Maybe Maine-Anjou.

buhbuh,

Give us a little more info.

What have you been using?

Why do you want to change? In other words...what are your motovations to change from what you were using?

I would probably go Hereford. Look for Langford bulls in you area. My ex-vets name is Langford and he has some pretty nice reg Herefords. I have one of his bulls here.

if you want black calves, angus or brangus would be fine. lots of breeds have black bulls now. many of those would make good crosses also. depends on what your cows look like & what traits you need

Herf cow black bull. Black cow herf bull.
I have a stout little heifer marked up just like that. Herf cow, blue roan shorty bull.
Cows in your avatar are black. Maybe just a pair of baldies?

Dang avatars anyway. Well I will give it another hour or so to see if there are anymore guesses before revealing the true identity.

 

[certherfbeef]

You're busted!! Took this from another thread.

My Angus would rather fight my Hereford bull

Black cow, herf bull.

Have a good one.

 

[preston39]

Heford ...black angus.

 

[Rustler9]

Looks like a Holstein/Hereford baldy.

 

[Cattle Rack Rancher]

I have a calf that looks just like that off a Shorthorn cow and a Simm-Angus bull.

Ok, so this was too easy. I figured someone would say Holstein in the wood pile.

So purebred Hereford cow, registered Red Angus bull. Now the kicker here is that the registered Red Angus bull is black. Here is another of his offspring.

 

[stocky]

there has to be hereford in the ancestry. there also has to be black in the ancestry---it can be any mix of the two but probably most likely is the hereford bull and black angus cow or the hereford bull and the holstein cow----but hereford and black are both in there somewhere, there are probably 20 combinations that can get you that color calf

 

[bigbull338]

forget the holstein in the woodpile that calf looks like he got some jersy in him scott

Flaboy...... "Now the kicker here is that the registered Red Angus bull is black. Here is another of his offspring".....

..."The registered Red Angus bull is black".....Help me with that one?
