[QUOTE="AppalachCattle, post: 549035, member: 7537"] I recently bought some of the Irish Blacks. I think they are very good cattle and are "For real". I have only had them for a little over 6 weeks, but in that time my 6 yearling heifers have grown an average of 90 lbs on an unrestricted forage only diet. My 2 yr old bull has gained 120 lbs on the same diet.(I weighed them at delivery and at 6 wks) The cattle are very correct in their traits and type. I am going to put the IB bull in with 51 commerical cows around the 4th of July. I am eager to see his calf crop next spring. It is my intention to raise purebred IB cattle as seedstock for crossbreeding. My IB bull is a double grandson of the 1340 bull on the website and a double greatgrandson of the 1359 IB bull also on the site. I don't have a camera as yet, but I will post some pictures as soon as I get one. I live in Ohio. [/QUOTE]
