[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 971125, member: 7509"] Thank you. Yes 23 is a chunk. He should be an even better bull than his half brother I just sold. U070 his sire is a "chunk" also. And smaller frame size. Why do you feel "too bad no papers"? I am looking to develop a beef herd and have no interest in selling registered breeding stock. I have three registered Herefords cows and frankly "Molly" is head and shoulders above them (even though she is shorter and longer than they are ;-) ) in many ways. Unless one is in the breeding stock business I don't see that papers mean much. I keep my own detailed breeding records in the Cattlemax program. I will always have a bought-in registered bull however, in addition to a home raised bull. Females will all be raised in house as far as I can see into the future. New genetics will be brought in on the bull side. I am fairly sure that Molly is a full blood Hereford. But you don't get papers with a 3rd hand $600 cow... The folks I bought her from were raising a mixed beef herd as a sideline to their corn/beans then decided to go all black about the time I was getting started and asking around about Herefords. They were not interested in registration. Thanks for the encouragement Crazy Farmgirl. I am pretty confident that the bull calf will develop into a bull along the smaller, lower frame size lines I am looking for. I have a fair amount of experience with both sides of his pedigree. He is exceptionally gentle and calm along with built solid and very good sc. He should carry the fertility, early maturity, milk etc of his parentage. There is just a lot to be said for being familiar with a bull prospect's sire and dam. Jim [/QUOTE]
