Didn't Like the Black Hereford? How 'Bout a Tiger Stripe?

[Herefords.US]

From the ad:

Tigerstripe Commercial Bull
Great value on a cross known for hybrid vigor!

This tigerstripe bull is from the same breeder who had this Black Hereford bull for sale:

Believe it or not, he sold him: "Sold to produce Black Baldies in Texas"

Tell the truth George you bought that black baldy didn't you :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think I actually had the black baldies half brother come visiting yesterday and he is now at the local sale barn

They are not good enough for bucking stock LOL.

They are some pitiful looking critters for sure.

 

[Tegerian]

Not sure if it's the photo angles but those are some "odd" looking cattle.

sadly the biggest thing about him is his nurtts,,, but fertility has always been a dinks strong suit :cowboy:

If that tigerstripe grows to his head he'll be big thing. Not good but big.

im sure a ""GOOD"" braford F1 will work in a braford breeding up program,,, but he is the type you take a hit on at the market anyway... and some one thinks he's worthy of breeding stock?? i think their fishing for fools and not wanting to get gang raped at the stockyard

From their website, and the amount of ridiculously sub-par bulls they have listed as "SOLD" for breeding purposes on it, I'd say the pond is well stocked and the fishing is really good. It's still hard to believe there's that many folks who must not care about anything else as long as they're a "cow freshener".

Took a look at their site and I have to say they don't have much of anything that looks worth buying, they actually have a heifer on there that looks more like a bull than the two above.

They are horrible but don't they have wonderful eye pigment? :lol: :lol:

 

[Idaman]

They've got a hole passel of those. :shock: Maybe they are wormy. Maybe the Ivomec salesman has been absent for a while. :?:

I don;t think even parasites (other then the guy selling them) could account for the lack of muscle/butt/flank

 

[Isomade]

I think those are some of them "no input cattle". No feed, no grass, no muscle, no genetics.

They look like those third-world country kids that are starving and need support. I think I would rather support those kids than those cattle.

Not being a southerner tiger stripe takes on a whole new meaning. :lol2: Maybe they aren't getting enough grits.

That is pretty odd to me, too. I crossbreed to get 1/2 angus, 5/16 hereford, and 3/16 brahma. Mine look better, so why didn't I think of that. George, you have introduced me to the ABHA. It's a real deal evidently. I don't plan to join in, if that's the outcome of their good careful planning of genetics. Wow, is all I can say. Smells like Bull malarky to me. ;-)

This so-called "breeder" is the exception and I'm sure is an embarrassment to the other Black Hereford breeders as well. No doubt a significant part of the problem is nutrition related.

In all fairness, let's look at the other side of the spectrum.http://www.blackherefordsoftexas.com/abha_site.html

Those aren't bad, but they need to have a talk with the guy that owns the ones in the original post and the ones on their site because they are pathetic looking.
