[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1848173, member: 40587"] A lot of polled Char bulls, and even more polled BM bulls, can be heterozygous for polled. So potentially , half the calves they sire from Criolo cattle can be horned. Or scurred. When you look at the info on registered bulls, like in a sales catalog, etc., Char, BM, Black Hereford, Simmental, will list if the bull is homo polled or not. Where as this info is not needed.... and therefor not listed...on the info for registered Angus or Brangus. Dunno what you paid for those cows, but right now, you could take those calves to the sale, and they'd bring $600-$800 (for the black one, if it was healthy) for bottle calves. That black one...was it from one of your more LH- type cows or one of your more Corrientes-type cows? For the past 28 years or so, I have calved out 100 or more Corriente cows and heifers, and have never had to pull a calf...or have a calf rejected...or had one lose a calf...or not have enough milk. I am curious as to what went wrong with that one. What kind of bull are you going to breed these back to? If you don't have one yet, I would recommend Angus, Brangus, or homo for polled and black SimmAngus or homo for polled and black Simm. Lastly, why South Poll? Nothing wrong with them...just curious as to what attracts you to them. [/QUOTE]
