Well, I bought some Bred Cows

[LRTX1]

Last weekend I picked up a few (4) bred cows, 4-6 months bred. Seem to be well behaved, calm cows. They look like they have Senepol in them. What do yall think?

 

[ga.prime]

I think you're right, Senepol in there.

 

[andybob]

There is some Sanga inflence, most likely Senepol, the udders are not typical for Tuli, either way the heat tolerance will be benificial what are they bred to?

Looks like they are pretty far along. Wher'd ya get em and how much?

They were bought off of a trader type fellow I have done business with before. They came from the sale barn originally so, there is no telling how they are bred......my luck would be they are bred to something with a head the size of a Kenworth and horns suitable for a 71' Caddy.

Hook, I got right at 850 avg, came from Ocala.


I'm am impressed with this set as they seem very well adjusted to their new program, maybe I can get some decent calves off of them and make a dollar or two in the process.

If its the fellow I'm thinking of, and he bred them, then they are bred to char or black according to him

The 2 lighter colored ones are branded with an "R" on the right hip. Below the R brand are numbers.

They look good to me. I guess no idea what they are bred to but what will you breed em back with if they do right?

Well, I have been looking for a more uniformed herd, got a "motley crew" going now. "IF" they do right, I might consider AI'ing them to senepol and purchasing additional. I would consider a Hereford and/or a Black Brangus once I get the numbers and quality I would want out of a "purebred" senepol type herd.

To maintain the heat tolerance once you have your upgraded herd, you might want to look at Bonsmara, the crosses I have seen in South Africa were impressive, and the cross expresses a higher than average heterosis.

Or he could breed them back to a Red Poll bull...

those are some goodlooking cows.they look tobe pretty young as well.

 

[LRTX1]

I would say no more than 5-7 years old. With one that looks like she might be on her second calf.

Here is a few from today.

They are not spooked by Little Miss Motor Mouth. She is saying "HI BOOOOOO'S" in her loudest outside voice.
