Heya , just thought id post an updated pic of the Piedmontese bull, still cant get him to stand totally side on sorry, hes running with 53 cows

I like both bulls. Those are two entirely different kinds of bulls. I personally would keep all the Angus heifers as replacements and (after the first calf) cross them to the Piedmontese to produce an entirely terminal crop with the eye popping yield that they seem to prefer in European markets. You can probably breed that Piedmontese to just about anything and get a 1 YG on the U.S. scale. His ribeye is huge even without the double muscling gene. The hard part will be finding another Angus as good as their father too breed the heifers to when you get ready to grow the next generation of replacement. You do really have to wonder how long those rear wheels on the Pied are going to hold up running with cows on those hills though.

Have you had any calving problems out of the pied bull?

 

[welshmatt88]

Calves are falling out, really pleased with them, started calving to Piedmontese at end of december, had 41 calves so far, not pulled a single one

I am glad to hear your report that you have been successful with your Piedmontese bull and that you are happy with him and his calves. Too often folks overlook this breed without getting true information from breeders that use them. He is a good looking bull and sounds like he is earning his keep.

Does anyone else think the last pic of the Pied. looks like that singer from Kiss. That's just weird.

So funny, as I was reading this post I kept thinking... where's CKC on this? Glad you see you found the discussion...and I agree...(though not from experience) that Pieds make awesome terminal crosses.

Hope this works. Should show you the last page of our Profile magazine with pictures of some crosses...

Sorry, I can't get it to go directly to page 32 where there are Pied crosses pictured.... but you can page to it once you get in there.
