Cant believe this is a bull!!

[CopeMan]

I took a picture of this bull about a week ago in Florida. There must have been 1,000 head of cattle in that pasture, and several bulls of the same caliber.

That aint his fault. Probably a pretty good beast. His owner should be horsewhipped.

 

[CopeMan]

Exactly what I thought. The ranch he is on is for sale, very poor pasture. There was alos a pretty sad looking beefmaster bull in there as well.

1,000 cattle? Looks like he must have bred them all. Probably just needs some groceries.;-)

PASTURE...looks like dry lot to me...we all no why the place is forsale

What make s a bull like this have no masculinity attributes such as a thick neck and hump?

 

[Crowderfarms]

Pasture is probably leased. I've seen quite a few Cattle in this shape in Florida.My outlaws live in Central FL. and there is a big place down there next to their place full of sorry Cattle. Cant understand it.

Starvin ta death be the first reason come ta my mind!

If you were to take this bull and put him in a lush green pasture and put some weight on him would he begin to fill out and gain back his muscle?

Depends alot on his age. If he be young he should come up to a good body score pretty good. May take a bit, I'd pour the mineral and vitamin ta him as well.

Once all fat reserves are used up, muscle is the next thing to go. He's starving, good grits may not make him anything special but at least he would be able to show if he has any muscle.

You probably could re-build him. He'd be a project, he's got a tuft on his head. I'd fatten him up and sell him.

 

[CopeMan]

Just to think that owner had probably 10 more like him

 

[Crowderfarms]

Cope Man was he in the Levy, Alachua County area?

 

[CopeMan]

Yes he was, Levy County right off Highway 41 to Dunnellon. How did you know?

I had an Uncle that died about a year ago, that raised Reg. Angus, and the place looked familiar. He had a thousand acre ranch out of Williston.

 

[CopeMan]

Wow, what was it called? There are several big ranches around in that area. Several Reg. Brangus breeders and one big commerical outfit named Whitehurst Cattle Co. I havent met anyone that knows to much about them yet, but to my understanding they have alot of land and cattle. Ive been by there place and they do have excpetional cattle.

you saying you drove by or you sayin that is your uncles place

Just from being very familiar with the area. Was not his place, his was sold, he would have never let his Cattle starve. He was friends with another Angus Rancher in Ocala named Leroy Baldwin. His name was Robert Stevens, they worked in hay a lot together.
