Photos of some 'moderate' bulls

While I was taking pictures of the wind damage, I tried to get some
pictures of some of our bulls. They were pretty interested in the hay
and didn't cooperate the best. Anyway, here are the pictures.
These bulls wintered on hay and Vigortone mineral. Nothing else.

This is a Lund's B-Bar HA Dominette sired bull. Coming 3-year old.

Randy and Sue Peterson OCC Anchor GRANDSON, coming 3-year old.

The calves out of them are looking soooooooo good, too.

Another Peterson Angus bull. We have had 3 bulls out of their 528 cow
and they are always good ones.

Nice looking cattle. The bulls look pretty fat on their diet of hay and Vigortone mineral. Maybe next year they would only need one or the other (hay OR Vigortone) not both. :wink: :)

Just kidding. They look to be in perfect condition to go do their jobs this summer. I like their moderate--not too big and not too little--appearance. They are idea rancher bulls.

Thanks you guys! We are really happy with this set of bulls.
The oldest are coming 3 years old and they didn't cost an arm
and a leg when we bought them, as we bought them privately.

Like Badlands said about the wind, at least there were no
injuries.

Nice Looking bulls FH...Don't seem very concerned about you being there-Look like they're kind of like my old bulls- you almost have to kick them in the rear to get them to move out of the way to get to the feeder....
But I like them that way better than the alternative...

Some nice looking Angus bulls! Some think heavy muscled boys. Bet you will get some good keepers out of them, help keep up that tradition of only hay and vigortone!

Do you have a lot of OCC genetics in your herd?

No A+ we do not. To tell the truth, I was a little worried about
OCC Anchor HIMSELF, so we bought bulls a generation removed
from him.

And we really watched the feet on the bulls. These bulls have
excellent feet. But we have seen some OCC cattle that don't have,
and that is a concern of ours.

We got into a bad feet deal about 15 years ago, so we are very
careful. Don't need it, don't want it.
We are really descerning about a bulls feet.

I noticed when I was taking the pictures that the Dominette bull
has a crack in a front toe. None of the other bulls do, though.
We will sure keep an eye on the feet on that Dominette bull.
He was the only one that was fed the Accuration
when he was developed as a weaning. I don't know if that has
anything to do with this crack or not. The Peterson bulls are
developed on hay, a little corn and Vigortone mineral, so no wonder
their feet are good. :wink: :p :lol:

Yes, OT, these are gentle, gentle bulls. The new bull from Lunds
B-Bar (which I didn't get a picture of) was so nice when Mr. FH
ran him in the chute to brand him. He never moved a muscle and
just walked out and looked sad when the job was finished. Good disposition is so important to us. We select for it.

And yes A+, I think the heifers out of these bulls will be super.
We have some yearling heifers out of them now that sure do look good.
We'll know more in a year. We sell replacement heifers and want
to do the best job we can to ensure the heifers are the best they
can be.

You know those are my kind of bulls FH. :) The OCC bulls have a "look" to them that is easy to distinguish. I approve.
