The ration at the bull test they are at is 80%roughage . They have to have guts to hold enough feed to gain well.Killala":3jsq4mwi said:nice bull 'cept for the gut.

Shorthorn1, which bull is this? Tag no?Shorthorn1":2gmvacws said:My good friend "Coyote" was kind enough to post this picture for me on this forum. I am "computer challenged" when it comes to posting photos and such.
Badlands, you are half right. This was taken at Midland a week ago today. My photo skills aren't much better than my computer skills! If the right rear leg had been positioned rearward it would have shown his testicles.
The breed is Shorthorn. We have 5 moderate framed, red polled Shorthorns on test and one Durham Red out of a really good light roan SH cow and sired by a RA bull "Badlands Mr Beef".(Is he yours, Badlands?) Overall, I have been pleased with their performance. We are breeding them for red, as the solids sell better here. Heterosis is making a comeback! Complete performance data is available at http://www.midlandbulltest.com The scans should be posted there soon. Thanks to all for looking!
