Therefore, the goal is to breed cattle that are considerably larger, more long-legged and long-snouted and have horns curving forwards, in addition to possessing the wild type colour scheme that was already present in the population. [4] [5] In 2003 breeding herds were started in Hungary and Denmark, and in 2004 one was begun in Latvia. [2]
The Black Hereford is a crossbreed of beef cattle produced in Britain and Ireland with Hereford beef bulls with Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Black Herefords are not usually maintained from generation to generation, but are constantly produced as a byproduct of dairy farming as a terminal cross. They are one of the most common types of beef ...
If it was a cow's first time calving, she will take longer to re-breed by at least 10 days. [4] However, beef cattle can also be bred through artificial insemination, [1] depending on the cow and the size of the herd. Cattle are normally bred during the summer so that calving may occur the following spring. [1]
The Polled Hereford is an American hornless variant of Hereford with a polled gene, a natural genetic mutation selected into a separate breed from 1889. [13] Iowa cattle rancher Warren Gammon capitalised on the idea of breeding Polled Herefords and started the registry with 11 naturally polled cattle. The American Polled Hereford Association ...
These cattle are usually kept on small-scale farms that rely on a high income from sales and low maintenance costs for feed. The cattle are also still kept by a very small number of self-sufficient people in Shetland. [12] There are currently 800 registered breeding cows and an average of 180 calves born each year. [8]
Charbray cattle produce carcasses with high meat-yield meeting market requirements and are able to respond to seasonal changes through foraging attributes and hardiness. Charbray calves are born around half the size of a Brahman at a low birth weight reducing risk of calving problems but have a rapid growth rate from high feed-converting ability.
People first began to breed cattle specifically to produce bulls that were good at bucking in rodeos in the 1970s. An early pioneer was Bob Wilfong. He came from a background of ranching and rodeo. "Raising bucking stock was just kind of a deal to play with", Wilfong said. Wilfong's whole breeding program was to buy cattle and see if they could ...
