Some Hereford Fall Calvers

[Kingfisher]

What will you do with all those calves?

The top end bull calves will be developed and sold as bulls, the rest will go into a Hereford influence feeder calf sale.
We retain some of the heifers for herd replacements and sell the rest. The bottom end will go with the steers to the
feeder sale.

South Central, near your inlaws if I remember?

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

That's right, near Lake Cumberland (sort of).

It's my wife's mother who was born in Dunville and now lives up north in Warsaw. I'm gonna come see your herd some day. Very impressive bunch.

Thanks,

TT

Had 110 calves out of 140 in 24 days.
No drugs, no A.I., all natural service.

Herefords are like that.

Our strongest suite by far and not utelised nearly enough by the commercial cow/calf producer!

Great pictures, Mr VictorDomino. Thank you.

110/140 is 79% on first cycle. Very nice for that large a group. What is your female/bull ratio?

Even as a beginner, it seems to me that a tight calving period has many benefits and should be a goal for most herds.

seriously, you have the beginner thing to death!

Mr victor, are all your cattle registered?

 

[mrvictordomino]

Mr victor, are all your cattle registered?

Yes, all retained females are. Only the best calves are registered.

I use several bulls for genetic diversity even though they are all the same bloodline. I have about 5-6 different lines to
cross back and forth in my line-breeding scheme. usually 25 females to one bull.

Ok thank you. I really like your herd. It's one fine looking pile of cows.

Once again some calves to be proud of. How many years did it take you to get to this point?

Herd was started in 1975, closed to outside females in 1987.
