He's a deep sided rascal. Can you get a picture of him standing still Jigs?

Has he ever had any grain H76?


the bull program is outlined on my website - pretty simple. I don't claim to be a pure forage operation thru and thru on everything except the females. The females never see grain and never see a bunk and most winters they lick snow all winter and rustle all days possible. I just finished moving yearlings off winter pasture to their early spring grass that has piped water on it. Same with the cows - i moved them this morning home from winter ground to calving ground and those girls got their first drink in liquid form as the snow started to melt and pool within the last 10 days - now they will aslo be on piped water and good rye grass which holds its protein well over dormancy. This year the long yearling bulls started their deal December 2nd off of native grass and go into a 40 acre pasture of rye grass and they get self fed alfalfa/brome grass hay (35%alfalfa/65%brome) and were hand fed 5 lbs of rolled corn/canola meal (75/25) up until the 20th of February and i cut it back to 2.5lbs of the corn/canola meal and they will come completely off grain this week and all be gone by April 1st. as calves they were fed the exact same except they got 2.5 lbs of whole oats from weaning thru mid april and went straight to grass. just grow them out here - don't have the desire to set any yearling records and it gives you a truer picture in my opinion.

He looks really nice Jigs and looks like he will throw some nice easy fleshing calves. What is his age ?

I had been on your website but the part that connected there was your heifer culling procedure. I like the idea but I doubt any would survive that method here. Very Happy
That bull is in darn good condition for what he's been developed on. Would he weigh 14-1500 lbs?
