I read an article a few years ago on beef farming, it said that cross breeding was the best choice for beef farming.

Yes!!!! That’s right! May not be what is rewarded many times but it can produce great results!

South Poll are a 4 way cross between Red Angus, Barzona, Senapol, and Hereford. If you already have females, buy a good bull to add the genetics you want. Then, look at your cattle and cull the bottom as aggressively as you can. Avoid crutches like grain, vaccines, antibiotics, and costly inputs other than minerals and hay, if grass is burried under ice or lots of snow. Sale barn animals are NOT worth the problems: Johnes, poor fertility, ... most farmers will sell a good cow privately, not through the sale barrn.

Cross breding excellent cattle can work. Cross breeding mediocre cattle is not advised. The gene which expresses itself may be less than desirable. In the wild, the mediocre ones would have fed the predators...

Most of the South Poles I have seen have been docile. I am sure there is some but they are just easier to work around. I have noticed the other breeds seem calmer when you move em everyday.

Jordan Green (aka Farmbuilder) said that cow/calf doesnt pencil out unless you have at least 50 pair. Less than that you should stick with stockers.

It is good to be grateful to the Lord for his blessings. I would love to hear from someone who has crossed south poll and dexters. I think that would produce a small frame outstanding beef. Wishing you and yours all the best. 😊

That would be a interesting cross! I have a buddy that is breeding Devon’s to his decrees because he’s trying to get the size of the steaks a little bigger. Thanks for watching and your comment! Blessings!

Bull is South Poll. Cows are Red Angus and Red Devon.

We don’t have much Sericea here. I have had at other properties. I think what you are seeing is either goatweed (wooly croton) or dog fennel.

The cow is licking your hand because she wants the salt, get a salt lick. What breed of cow is that??

@puresouthpasturesfarm6460 6 ай бұрын

Yeah. They have access to free choice Redmond salt. She is a south poll heifer.
