Nutrition
Our bulls are raised like mother nature intended.… on their mothers milk, and good grass. We do not creep feed our calves, and we wean the bulls between eight and nine months of age. They are fed all the hay they want, plus a concentrate mix geared towards an average daily gain of 2.75 pounds. These bulls could easily out-perform this moderate gain, but we'd rather have our customers happy with bulls that last, rather than push the bulls for higher ADG.
They are fed on our own ranch, so we can observe them daily. The bulls are raised in a large area to allow for abundant exercise so they'll be in the physical shape needed to breed your cows. We develop our bulls on this program so they will work better - and last longer - for our customers.
Northern Rancher said:Your point is what exactly Mike-they aren't creep fed and they get hay plus at the most 7lb of grain a day in the winter. Ohh by the way the owner plays hockey too-another strike against him too I bet lol. If you don't have an answer to the question why chirp up or is that what you do best.

So which one do you like? I enjoy watching people sort cattle.Northern Rancher said:At last some real cattlemen replied-thank you very much. Neil and Gail have a very good set of cows-they used to be a bit bigger than I liked but were getting closer to agreeing every year. BMR are you going to make it down to the 4H deal-I might leave a day early and try and get a visit in down at Plentywood-see if any R-Calfers drowned out of their caves when Big Muddy Creek came up lol.
That aint very fair is it. Which do you like so far. I don't care which one is best in person. The rest of us are judging off the website. Give us your favorite so far.Northern Rancher said:I'm going to cheat and go take a look at them in the flesh lol. There are several pretty useful bulls in the group though. Hopefully today I'll get a chance to check out 'canadian angus's' bulls at the salebarn. Neil says their site is getting updated this weekend with weights and scrotal measurements.
