[QUOTE="Petercoates87, post: 1359032, member: 24701"] So if anyone me from past posts I'm in newfoundland Canada. It's not good at all here for buying cattle. So I'm just starting out with what I can get my hands on. So here's what I got. Bunny- she is a 4 year old beef mix. I know her dam was a holestien Angus cross from a dairy farm. And her Sire is whatever was on our local pasture that year. Oh and she is roughly 1500 lbs or bigger. Clover - is bunny's heifer 2 years old. She is beef mix also but does look alot like a hereford. She is small about 1100 lbs. Daisy - not a beef she is a jersey I just got a soft spot for them n found one here for sale n bought her. She is 2 years old n roughly 1100 lbs. And Coco- she is this year's Heifer and a dairy cross. I got Charlie too he is from bunny last year's bull. So what I'm after is to use these girls expand but slowly breed out the **** if I can at all. Cause im goin to have to cull these cows at some point.Like bunny n clover are on a better local pasture this summer that has a real nice red Angus bull there. I'm hoping that one of the girls has a heifer to keep. I'd just like to raise some cattle so that I end up with 450 -500 lbs dressed weight at 12 -14 months. Last night I measured Charlie weight n he is only roughly 904 lbs live weight at 15 months I was hoping he would be closer to 1000lbs by now. I have a buddy that got a dexter cross n she throws bulls that dress 500- 550 at 12 months. I know everyone is goin to say sell them all n start over but ya got to see that the shipping and buying a good cows might only get me 2 lol. I'd rather breed good n keep the heifers. [/QUOTE]
