You know it's dry when people comment on the nice looking feed and don't mention the pretty girl. I'd sure love to have some of that feed, but I imagine the freight might be a little steep.

That is a new hat.....it's my "dress" strawhat. :lol:
As for the marks on that first bull, I don't think they're tick bite marks. Ticks tend to accumulate on the underside of the animals, testicles, and around the ears. He may have been one of the bulls who rolled on the ground shortly before I took the pic. Several had done that.

Crossing to either breed functional hybids in a terminal or rotational crossbreeding system is one solution to using functional genetics in an environment outside of the breeds usual climatic range, many commercial cattlemen are choosing the option of developing composites suited to their environment and management style. Since the recent grazing course in Florida, there has been several discussions amongst some large ranchers about adding a percentage Mashona to their commercial herds to utilise their non selective feeding traits and large rumen capacity allowing for a better utilisation of poor forage, a 50% British/50% Mashona is being considered by several ranchers. The Veldmaster concept encompasses this type of tailoring a composite for your specific needs.Hay Feeder said:Locally a friend that I have not been on his place for awhile has some of these he was very proud of his herd like most of us are. While showing me his he had to admit they were only part Senepol and something else he boasts they only need mineral and he uses mob grazing. He claims his only vet bills are the annual dehorning according to him they do not get flys or never to be wormed He also maintains a 40 year old organic garden
