We've been running two registered Beefmaster bulls for four years now in our commercial herd. They're half brothers out of the same sire and they are big. They've been great in all aspects. They can be handled very easily, very gentle - only one had to get talked to in the first week. Since then neither one has so much as snorted or shook his head at anyone on the place. Good breeders and haven't hurt a cow or heifer. Calves out of both have ranged from 80-100 lbs. Calves gain well on straight grass. We've been nothing but extremely satisfied with the breed.
I bought a Judd Ranch Balancer at the spring sale this year. I'm going to wait until next fall to see for sure but they may be making good on their guarantee and I'll go get another Beefmaster.
Both bulls are red - homozygous. On anything but a black cow we've gotten mostly all deep red, with a few red with chrome, cream, and some gray out of Charolais cows. Black cows so far have always given a black calf.
