Bulls
If you sell all your calves at the stockyard and don't keep replacements, there's a thousand better places to buy bulls. Don't sound like a salesman do I ? If you sell some calves at the stockyard but want to keep replacements, we might have something here for you. If you live in the hot humid Southeast, want to retain heifers, and sell either direct to consumer or into the conventional marketplace, I know we have something that could work. We believe a ranch's profitability is built around a productive female, and that should be our first focus. Once we get that right, we can go in any direction.
Our goal is to select bulls from cows that thrive in our environment. We have brought in heat tolerant genetics to help hone, but our cow herd is pointing the way. Every year we keep moving towards those goal posts we will never arrive at, but it sure is fun to see them get better.
Our bulls are forage raised, grown slow, and built for longevity. They are all single wire electric fence trained and mostly easy to work with. All bulls sold will pass a breeding soundness exam and we will guarantee them for their first breeding season. Feet are important to us, as they should be to you if you save daughters, and we breed for correct structure, good hair, and adequate scrotal.

We have a close friend and mentor in Deep South GA who has been raising no nonsense Angus cattle since the 1970s. James Fudge has honed the work that Graham Angus started decades earlier into a hidden gem of a maternal herd. Recently he has brought in Oliver Angus as an outcross, and started his own line of Red Angus cattle, in which we have shared bulls. Unbeknownst to me, James started his own heat tolerant herd about a year before I brought in my first Casey Beefmaster. I guess heat tolerant minds think a like because he also went to Casey to source his genetics! This bull is a son of his herd sire that we bought to develop. He will have more frame and growth than most of our offerings, and has strong muscle definition. He's still growing and would be a great choice to make F1's over Angus, Hereford, or Red Angus genetics for a number of marketing directions. Happy lines on this guy too!

Here's a herd sire we used for the past several seasons. 202H goes back to perhaps our best Michael Vance/ Southern Reds cow, SR Hazel 543 ( RAA 3509227). She is 11 years old and still a powerhouse of production. She has raised several outstanding sons and daughters and keeps getting bred back. Michael spoke highly of the 5L craftsman bull as a female maker and he did his work on her. This son is a belly dragger! He is a beef maker and if you sell direct or need to add volume he should be on your list. His sire was a full Senepol bull (MS 60d) out of our other favorite cow at Millertown. We sold 60d to Ozark Hills where he has gone on to produce sons that topped the composite bulls sales for several years. We don't have an expensive prefix yet so get this one for a value while you can. I scored him a 2 on docility because he's moody if you force him places. In the pasture you can almost put your hands on him.

Folmar is his full name, after our friend Damon who we bought his dam from as an ET receptionist. She was the largest cow we've owned, A gentle giant. This bull is 1/2 Senepol, 1/4 Angus, 1/4 Dutch Belted. This bull is meant for one thing, calves that can grow. If you need a true terminal bull that will produce muscle, weaning, and yearling weight, we have a bull to take advantage of the high price of pounds on the scale. I would only use on adult cows.

Had this young man had better hair, we would be using him on everything. He was the deepest bodied, grass phenotype bull we raised in his contemporary group. I started taking pictures of him when he was 4 months old. HIs dam is possibly our most profitable registered cow to date, weaning a high percentage of her bodyweight year after year, and out of the cow that has 4 daughters thriving in the herd. He's always been a little wary and we are patient when moving him, but can handle without issue. He still has growing left to do and will mature out for the next couple years becoming a full blown tank. If you direct market grass feed beef, he is your man.
