What - there are no black animals here! Several years ago I had a black bull around... long story too, oh well the little girl is sleeping so I got time. My old man bought some black bred heifers one year. I'll never forget it. They were the first angus cattle to set foot on this place since 1910. I picked them out of a big purebred ranch down by Judith Gap. The owner sat on the fence and watched me pick out a pot load of his bred heifers and I think he got bored cause I took a long time. The guy knew us and knew we had straight herefords and he told me I needed to go home and sell all my prolapsing, cancer eye cows and come back and buy some more of his blacks. Anyhow, I calved all those heifers bred to "low birth weight" angus bulls. I actually recorded the heaviest birth weight ever on this place - 143 lbs and pulled 23 out of the 50 we bought (hard pulls too). Those heifers broke down just about every corral they set foot in and were climbing the walls in the calving barn. Had two of them step on their calves and kill them and 9 of them either vaginally prolapsed or rectally prolapsed. what was it? oh yeah, the "answer breed". Anyhow - I decided to keep one of the black bull calves out of what was one of the better heifers (they weren't all bad) to use as a clean up bull behind AI on my purebred heifers. A couple years later I had all my purebred heifers synched and ready to AI at 8 am one morning and wouldn't you know it that little black ba$ta%d jumped three five rail fences to get in the hot pen. long story short I have 3 baldie cows on the place from that mishap - although the bb calf in that picture with its butt to the camera is out of a hereford cow and the neighbors black bull, his mamma decided to crawl the fence and she proved that they don't always "never go back" :lol:

Had that one black bull, never again. I always get a kick out of the guys telling us "Once you go black you never go back." True we never went back either.
Had to ship a good 6 year old cow because she had a black baldy calf and none of the neighbors would admit to their bull being the daddy. Better safe then sorry.

Did it warm up up there yet? We got over 40 degrees F.
