Hereford bully

[MurraysMutts]

I'm scared but I'm gonna post pics anyway....
This is Big Sexy. My registered bull. Registered from the former owner anyway. I'm not into that yet.









Hes the replacement for my lil guy that committed suicide a while back. R.I.P. Quite the upgrade but I do miss lil Vindicator...

I'm not real hip on that name..."Big Sexy?!?" Really did your wife buy him for XMas? You might be stuck w Big S.....other than that burden he looks swell. What are you gonna run him on??

 

[MurraysMutts]

Well. The wife calls him Big Red Ugly.
The tag in his ear is BR for big red. Lmao

Hes covering my black commercial mamas.
Hes also got 1 char mama in there for good measure.
Theres always one in every group ain't there? Lol

As opposed to my first bull, Bob the Viagra Guy? I think Big Sexy is hilarious but all mine have rather salty names (or at least the implication) ;-)

 

[MurraysMutts]

So Big Sexy been hard at it.
He knows his job.
I cant wait to make pictures of his offspring.
Fall seems so far away but itll be here b4 we know it



These 2 are out of my lil horned hereford.
Best we can tell he got 3 of my buddies heifers bred anyway

 

[greggy]

You still have the big S, or, has he lost his appeal ?

 

[MurraysMutts]

Oh yeah. Hes hard at it...
On 14 black mamas and one chiangus
The big herd! Lol

 

[MurraysMutts]

If I can ever get him to stay still I'll get a good pic of him now....

 

[MurraysMutts]

Reckon he looks ok?
I think hes doing good. Sometimes an outside view is helpful. Hes only got 12 mamas to cover. Pretty ok grass. Hay avaible too.

 

[MurraysMutts]

Finally got a couple pics while he was grazing. Hes definitely put on some pounds since I got him. I'll just have to wait til BSE time to see how much. He doesnt have to work too hard here. Only 14 to 16 cows.
Any thoughts on him? Calves should be coming b4 long too. Tired of waiting already...

He is a good looking dude. Post pics of calves when they come.

 

[MurraysMutts]

So I've been looking at my notes.
Ol Big Bertha should be the first to calve to this bull.
If I actually caught em, she was due September 12th.
She definitely appears close. Springing heavy.

Big Bertha and Big Sexy.
Need a clever name for the calf...

 

[MurraysMutts]

I put a pic in my September calving thread.
When I get a better picture I'll post it here.
First one out of this bull born today.

 

[MurraysMutts]

Snapped a quick pic of Big Sexy today.
Berthas pic was from a bit back. That's the baby tho. First one out of him.

Bertha and calf look good. Are those wind turbines in the background on your property? Looks like big money back there.

O yeah. They were all the rage about a year ago. I hate em!
Not ours. They would've been too close to the high lines.
Guess if we were collecting a check every month it might be different..

 

[Brute 23]

He looks like he has really come around and is definitely doing work.

 

[MurraysMutts]

Second one born today.
2 heifers out of him so far.
I really like the amount of white on her face.
Pretty big calf too. I dont have a way to weigh her. Sure am curious about that.
NOT tiny. Lol

 

[Brute 23]

She looks great. Has good color around the eyes.

@MurraysMutts I have a birthweight tape. "Accuracy" +/- 7 lbs so clearly not something to use if you want an exact weight. I've also used a bathroom scale. Well, once. I was traumatized when the number on the scale shot dangerously close to a deuce, plus I have no business holding a calf that big.
