Glad your herd is growing well. Great video update. Thanks.
Big calve like that can be scary, but you haven’t had any problems yet, and they will definitely be some heavy weaning calves
Surprised to hear of the birthweight problem on the Beefmaster bulls. I ran several purebred Beefmaster bulls, and I don’t remember any having larger than normal. Jerry Crownover lives west of Springfield MO, runs good red Beefmaster bulls on Red Angus cows, and produces great calves. Big dead calves don’t make a profit.
I know some people with beefmasters and they are getting 65-85lb calves. I just got the wrong bulls it sounds like. I’ve seen Jerry’s calves and I don’t think they are coming out as big as mine.
That's disappointing about your bulls. I agree though, not sure I'd take the chance again. Calving trouble is no fun.
Throwing calves that big is a risky business, I’m not willing to take on purpose! Bye bye beef master 👍
Unless I can find a proven low birthweight beefmaster, I’ll probably try to find something else.
@@FarmandHammer what about putting a southpoll bull on them?
I’ve considered it but I think since I’m wanting a terminal sire I’ll probably go with something black.
Thanks for the video.❤️🇨🇦
Those cows are honestly probably fine to breed to him. Our 1200 lb cows have 125 lb calves all the time in their own
Since all of these are random sale barn buys, some of them weigh 900-1000. With some mini mixed in. So far there hasn’t been an issue but I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time.
Nice job Isaac.
Everything is doubly hard when doing it yourself. Brave man.
At 11:48, I felt a little dramatic suspense thinking the calf may have had a fatal accident in the creek. Relieved to see it was merely snoozing.
Absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation and a very interesting great video and you are doing such an amazing job!! .. appreciate your beautiful sharing .. thanks again ..
Your cow crosses have a large parent, could be that side passed on the growth to the calves. Bull may not be the (only) reason for the big calves.
Right. Most of these cows had small calves last year. I know excess nutrition in the 3 tri can cause big ones too but they were just on hay.
Thank you for sharing.🐂
Hi Mr.Farmer. Good to see the herd still growing and the new calfs.You sure are busy with all those cattle. Do you have summer plans yet.as always good to see ya pal, take care love ya .see you in the next one, Hugs
Nice bunch we really like
Sim angus bull crossing simmental in with a high ce get calves around 80-90# that grow very fast the cows milk like crazy and grade very well
My friend always did AI on his heifers with longhorn calves to proof them before letting his bulls in on them. It was a lot easier on the heifers and the resulting cow gained a season and weight to stand under the bull.
I’ve heard of people using longhorns on heifers, I’d just hate to get docked at the sale barn for their first calf.
@@FarmandHammer I’m sure some of those longhorns ended up being fed up for friends and relatives freezers. Not number one choice but hamburger is hamburger.
I've not heard of Beef Master breed. Is that a cross of Angus and some other breed?
The char crosses are really looking nice
I’m liking the look of them!
I would be shipping his but to town with the scrap price being so high
Great bunch cows and calves
so wonderful beautiful video Isaac i love it see so nice
I definitely wouldnt want to put that big bull on the Pharo. His genetics are all 1000-1200lbs medium frame animals that are 100% grass fed. She may have a hard time.
U might try using a different bull for next breeding season
That’s what I’m thinking as well.
Where did you get the beefmaster bulls im looking for acouple
St Claire Beefmasters. He’s got quite the selection. A lot of reds.
Are you interested in selling your two beefmaster bulls
Sorry, but beef masters in a seedstock herd is arguably the most overrated breed ever! They are better for terminal commercial herds.
I'll take British breeds all day long, those Hereford sired white-faced calves look as good as any you showed in this video. Whiteface calves, baldies dominate the sale barn too! Herefords have great dispositions and have wonderful maternal instincts! Not to mention high fertility, which is key in a cow-calf operation when you want to save back replacements.
I would plan to sell every one of those beefmaster calves at sale, keeping any of them will infuse higher birthweight producing animals into your herd, which is not a desirable trait to have. Hard to beat a black or red Baldy, with an angus bull on Hereford cows or Hereford bull on Angus when talking about $ at the sale barn!
If those bulls werent 100k tested the epds will have a pretty low accuracy...epds would just be parents numbers added together and divided in half...which isnt really how genetics works. The same sire and dam can produce wildly different progeny. But if youre not pulling calves then im sure youll appreciate the size difference come weaning time.
Also, your dams account for about 2/3 of the birth weight. Larger frame cattle have larger calves...but generally can handle the larger calves because they are larger. Your smaller cattle at home bred to the same bulls will likely have smaller calves.
If I remember the accuracy was below .5. But in the past a good calving ease and birthweight have at least been relatively good predictors. We’ve had good luck with lbw angus and Herefords in the past with virgin bulls. These cows had pretty small calves last year so I am guessing the bull contributed quite a bit.
