[QUOTE="lakeportfarms, post: 628445, member: 9413"] We don't know much about his history, we just acquired him a few months ago. He is registered, as is the backbred registered Dexter we got with him. We also got from the seller 2 Highlands that were bred to him, and a beautiful AI bred Hereford cow. So we will find out what kind of offspring he produces with the Dexter, and the Highlands, within a couple of months. He must have had a stool to get to the Highlands :D The top of his head is barely at their shoulder height. Here in Michigan many people are finding it necessary to move, many to another state, and there are a lot of fire sales. If I recall correctly we got the bull for $500, the bred Dexter for $600, both Highlands for $800 (they are both over a 1000#), and the Hereford (1000#+) was almost a giveaway at $500. So far this winter it looks like the Hereford gets fat on air, and the Highlands aren't much different, though it's hard to tell with all the hair! The point is taken on continuing the breeding and with replacement Heifers with the bull. We knew he wouldn't be kept too long. It's too bad because he is a really nice bull. Since we were taking the others we couldn't really pass on him. [/QUOTE]
