Home reared bull

[OzssieDave19]

Hello anyone keep a bull themselves? My dad always bought stud bulls we have some great calves I often think I should keep a yearling bull.

My neighbour has kept me a AI charolais bull from a roan hereford shorthorn cross cow. (3way) bull.

Live to see some pictures of your home bred bulls. Dave.

We raised and kept this bull. He was born last spring so he is almost a two year old. We plan to always raise our own bulls and not buy one from an outside source.

I wish we could keep a bull out of our cows but then the bull is related to the herd.

I have three home made bulls right now but they are all meet the requirements to be registered. I wouldn't keep a crossbred bull unless it was a planned cross like balancer or sim-angus and then I'd want to have papers in hand on both parents to have an idea of what to expect.

A pied bull would be the best thing that ever happened to you. He'd teach you that there's more than one way to skin a cat and respect for others at the same time.

I wish! But Piedmontese cattle are more thin-skinned, bad temperamental and highly sensitive to the bad jokes. These pieds probably won't get along with the black cows. They also will never forget the bad things you've done to them and will hold a grudge against you. ;-)

Good cowmen learn to deal with every kind of disposition in the best way. If you hurt the kind ones in your normal routine you won't stand a chance with the rank ones when it matters. ;-)

My apologies OzssieDave for the hyjack.

The 1st bull we kept from the beef herd

This is the 3rd bull we raised & sold

We breed our own bulls for the dairy herd the beef herd is a little bit different we don't have the space to raise too many bulls

No worries on the high jack. Thanks for all the great posts. Keep those pictures rolling in. I have a half limo half quarter angus and quarter freesian cow. She is going to calve to an angus I am tempted to keep the calf as a composite bull any thoughts?

do a little research on hybrid vigour, it will answer most of your questions.

:nod: And have low tolerance for buttwipes.

We are keeping one as clean up for AI.
He's only related to a small number of the herd.

I wish you luck and that you like what he does for you.

That bull looks like he's is just about asleep

The 1st bull we kept from the beef herd

+1 on that.

I'll bet that if you could get a picture of him on level ground with all four boots under his corners he would look like something out of a catalog.

 

[Loch Valley Fold]

Thanks for the positive replies guys I really liked Rossco but he ended up liking the neighbours cattle more so we sold him on to a farm with 200 head to keep him busy We kept some nice heifers out of him though

 

[igrowgrass]

Well, the nice thing about selling a bull to the neighbor is that you can always borrow him every once in a while LOL.

I'm sure you made the right choice for you. I would have had a hard time cuttin' that fella loose.
