Pingree, N.D. Apr 22, 2021. #1. Off to Dickinson, N.D., tomorrow morning to pick up a bull bought on the Colorado Pharo Cattle Co. sale. Could be interesting. But I just can't find any smaller-framed cows so I submitted a Sight Unseen bid for $4200 on a sort of 28 grass efficient, easy fleshing DNA. Almost didn't get a bull at all for that bid.

As I understand it, a Cattleman (or Woman?) based in Colorado named Kit Pharo has developed a network of cattle farms who raise and develop beef cattle with his/her unique genetics and frame sizing theories. The Pharo Cattle Company markets and sells many breeding bulls and breeding semen all geared ...

My argument isn't whether Pharo cattle are the best choice to achieve those goals. My point is that while I don't own any Pharo cattle, I agree with Pharo about the profitability of running larger numbers of smaller framed cattle to produce more beef per acre. I also agree that it is desirable to own cows that can hold condition in adverse ...
Larger cattle finished at heavier weights are strictly for the packers. The feeders would rather keep them for less time. The cow calf producer in cattle country (the SEC states) prefer a more moderate framed cow herd. The packer cares less about the final product than the cow calf producer. That is why only corporate chain restaurants use ...
The bit about playing Offense and Defense is important to remember. Pharo is correct, IMO, about breeding for cattle that fit the environment, and I believe, mostly right about smaller cattle being more efficient. (exceptions to every rule) But small framed calves do get docked.
Going from a 1300 to a 950# average cow weight in one generation is a huge move. Yup that is why these animals are getting culled, and I don't recommend Pharo bulls, huge mistake. 80% of our cows are moderate and fleshy #1250-1300 5-6 frame that's small enough for here in Northern Michigan.
I’m not sure I understand why anyone would think that European or British cattle aren’t best suited for the north and less suited as you get south and the temperatures rise. And here I thought this thread was about finding the MOST efficient cattle for their environment to produce more profit.
One of the **** for brains operations here is using Pharo on Pharo breeding. Terrible grazing management too. But, the small calves are better able to crawl through barbed wire fence to get so some grass in the road ditch. :nod: Must be part of the more pairs per acre plan... We would never use Pharo bulls to sire terminal feedlot cattle.
