FORAGE GENETICS
RED ANGUS
Imagine a Cow:
- She will calve unassisted and on time every year
- Her calves will be strong, aggressive, and grow well
- She will have the ability to keep herself maintained, even on poor forage
- She will be gentle, but still protect her calf from danger
- She will somehow survive extremes in weather conditions, as will her calves
- She will have a nice hair coat and stand well on her feet with no limps
- She will be moderate framed, with sufficient guts and heart girth to process forage optimally
- In spite of her thickness, she will still be feminine in appearance
- Her udder will be nicely shaped and well attached, even in advanced age
Now Imagine a Bull that will produce such a cow:
- He will be masculine, with thick neck and shoulders and good muscling
- He will be deep, having a big heart girth and spring of ribs
- His scrotum will hang true, with good size and shape
- He, like his mother, will have the ability to grow and maintain himself on the available forage
- Most of all, he will settle his cows with ease
This is the Ideal that Drives Us at OLD SCHOOL CATTLE:
- The quest for the perfect cow
- The quest for the perfect bull
- Are we there yet? No
- Will we ever be there? Sadly, No-perfection can never be attained
- Can we make improvements in cattle with the above goals in mind? Absolutely!
Our Bulls are Developed Without Grain:
- Our pastures are mainly endophyte infected fescue and somewhat stressed
- If we raise bulls that look good on our place, we figure they will do excellent on yours
