Red Poll bulls new pics

[Jovid]

We got the bulls home from the bull test last weekend so I thought I would post some pics. The four bulls averaged a 3.3 WDA.

The first two have already been sold and the other two are for sale.

I really like these bulls. What's the typical frame size of a Red Poll bull?

They will range from a 5.5 to a 6.5. The first bull is a 5.7, the third bull a 6.5 and the last bull a 6.1

Thanks Dave.....we think they are four pretty nice bulls even if the are Red Polls....Of course some folks would say they are great looking bulls if they were black.

What folks don't know is that we don't have 100 bulls to pick from and these are our four best. These are the only four bulls we had born last fall. Pretty good feeling knowing your doing something right in your breeding program to produce four bulls the quality of these four.

Jovid-

If this is 100% of your bull production this year, you can bask in glory! The factor that a lot of people miss in analysing cattle is the universal consistency of the cow herd. Obviously the Phenotype is excellent, but the consistency of your producers is optimal! Exemplary model sire of these bulls. I am assuming it is the same bull which sired all of the bulls.

This represents years of darned good selection decisions on your part.

Thanks DOC,

We have been very selective in our cow herd not only in phenotype but also genetically. Our goal is to raise Red Poll cattle that will improve not only Red Polls but also the commercial cattleman looking for hybrid vigor in a crossbreeding program.

The bull with the halter has a different sire but he is also the grand sire of the other three bulls which are out of the same sire.

It is also a good feeling to know that all the bulls are now sold. We had a guy come today to look at buying one and he decided to just take the last two.
