Good looking calves! Your Hollywood calf and the Woodbourn Fame steer are particularly nice.

We are in Oregon but I can recommend a few breeders closer to you:

Backbone is in FARMERS BRANCH, TX
Compass Creek is in COLUMBIA, KY
LIMESTONE RIDGE, SCHWARZERDE, GLENBROOK FARM are all in Indiana.

SCHWARZERDE has a bull sale on May 16 in Lagrande, IN. They are doing it by video but will allow people to view the bulls by appointment.

These girls are on a different pasture keeping the green down. We just put tubs out so they start gaining again.

Seems like I always end up with a dynamite black bull- Two Byrds Kajun Man.

BW 76lbs and scrotal at 10 months is 28 cm.

This is an AI bull calf out of a first calf heifer. Attached is his dun colored dam who is due to calve the middle of next month.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

What breed is the sire? I'm assuming he's a half blood something? What are your plans for him? Cow looks great and he looks good for a 10 month old.

Purebred Murray Grey. Dam is dun colored and sire is dark grey. I am thinking of raising him up for a bull but blacks are the hardest to sell for Murray Greys.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

It's kind of an oxymoron - "black" Murry "Grey" - LOL.
So, obviously the dam and sire only carried 1 diluter gene and neither one passed it on to this offspring. Well done.
Now, you can start a new breed. Murry Black!! I'm just joking. I guess you have had other black ones.

Just four ever. We don't breed for black but he's too darn nice to castrate! I'll probably put him on a bull ration and take him to the regional show in Idaho next summer.

At least the "black" in your herd of the breed is 100% "Murray Grey".... tell me where they get the "black Hereford"... it ain't all hereford... or the "black Limousin" or the "black Charolais".... Would love to put that bull in our herd....

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Remember, black is a dominant gene. Back in the 70's, I had black 1/2 bloods, so even though the breed wasn't black to begin with, you would play heck DNA checking for other breeds in my cattle. Yes, the black gene came from Angus, but our Black Simmental probably have as much Simmental DNA as the ones in Europe. Granted, there is still a lot of crossing currently, so some of the "new" herds would DNA more Angus.
Black Herefords are a new creation. I don't think they know what they have.
"Black" Charolais - they just sounds nasty! LOL
