[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1598651, member: 25884"] Both British White and Speckle Parks are seen here but they get discounted terribly at the stockyards. We had 2 speckle cows, one was pretty high headed and I didn't trust being near her when her calf was little and she did not like to come in the pen. The other was a BIG cow, and a sweetheart. Friendly, loved to be rubbed and petted. She had a bull the last time, he is a steer awaiting a trip to the butcher. Do have one heifer out of her that started off reddish and turned mostly black, that is due to calve here soon. Have one female from the high headed one, not overly friendly but not mean either, has a decent black bull calf but has developed a terrible looking hump back over the last 2 years. If she is bred will keep her for the next calf, but if open she is leaving. No heifers out of her. I like them overall, but we get killed at the markets. The females we usually keep as replacements, the steers get sold if black, but if speckled, get fed out for beef. [/QUOTE]
