Bulls and calves (pics)

[Ned Jr.]

Here's a couple herd bulls.

Same bull as the one above.

This bull is a frame 5 bull. He hasn't seen anything but grass since he was bought as a yearling. He's 4 now. He bred around 40 head for one of his other owners last fall.

A few 6050 calves born in March and April.

A couple 5603 calves.

And some 175 sons.

Here's one from awhile back. Ever had one of those days?

Ned, you have the right kind of cattle, no matter what colour they are. :wink:

The cattle look good. What's the name of the sire in the top pictures?

Thanks.

High quality picturesque cattle, green grass, and beautiful mountains for a backdrop--a combination that can't be beat. Thanks for the pics.

The top two are of 175.

I'll be gone all day today, sending some bulls to Texas.

Outstanding cattle on a beautiful place. Those cattle have got me to thinking that if there were herefords like that 35 years ago, there would likely still be herefords on this place.
Thanks for the pics, keep them coming please.

Thanks for all the nice replies everyone.

I didn't have to take them all the way but they're heading for south-east Texas, over by the gulf. They'll go on some Brahma cows. The guy buys bulls by the pot load and I've helped fill the trailer the last two years. Good place for me to go with any bulls that pap high or have a little extra birth weight, neither matters much down there.

Do you have a piucture of that four year old bulls mother?

Do you have a piucture of that four year old bulls mother?

I don't. When I purchased 5603 his dam was a younger cow and looked to have an acceptable udder, not great but acceptable. The last time I seen her her teats were longer than what I like to see. 5603's sire, 286, throws nice females with great udders. So far 5603 daughters seem to be more like his sires than from his dam. I calved out his first set of daughters this year and the calves by their side seem to be growing well.

Do you have a piucture of that four year old bulls mother?

I have a few new pictures.

Here's a paternal sister to that bull, I have eight of them.

5603 from behind.

471, a five year old bull.

175 a eight year old bull.

175 son.

A few bull calves.

Happy 4th of July.

I'm maybe showing my ignorance of the Hereford breed here but some of the calf pictures show cattle that look pretty shallow to my eye. Maybe it's the stage they are at but the first 6050 calf, the first 5603 calf and the last 175 in particular look to lack depth and body. Not trying to run your cattle down - just seeking to learn as I sometimes see things differently to others. I always really enjoy your herd bull pictures - they have piles of depth and are very correct cattle. Love the scenery too.

The cattle look very good to me, and seem to have plenty of depth. Outside of being the wrong shade of black, they are great specimens of bovinity. :wink:
