Beautiful calves, Cliff, nice and slick. I really l really like the half- bloods. They would work well in my environment, I believe. That Shanks is nothing to sneeze at ,but that PCC bull is awesome, I'm sure he's worth every penny you had to give for him!! Love the videos that give close-up looks at the herd! You have a lot there to be proud of and appreciate you showing them off.
Your grass is looking good compared to last year...must have got some good rain fall this summer, im interested in a South poll bull calf if you have one available, im in ore city TX
Cliff - One of our percentage South Poll heifers got pneumonia last winter and we treated her with an antibiotic. She recovery from the pneumonia upon treatment, but this summer she was definitely having a harder time breathing in the extreme hot weather. Just yesterday (cooler weather here in PA) she seemed to have a little bit of a running nose. She has nice body condition and is pregnant. Given what I’ve described, would you think those symptoms are reason enough to cull her?
My good friend Alvin had red poll he said brought back to ranch in pickup truck bed those were the days with cattle rail trucks were stepped bed to have more room for hauling and cattle runs elevate to load in truck he then including us went limosine cattle sp best of luck take enjoy
I would sure take a chance on that Bull calf. They are all beautiful. If you could get the half blood and then get you some More and work towards full blood like you are. They sure throw South poll genes. One fourth of the South poll is red angus so it make sense and they sure make some good looking calves.
You are correct when selling across the scales. I’m aiming for the replacement market with the South Polls. They may bottom out at some point but hitting a home run so far.
Not judging here just a question. Are your South Pole bulls considered low birth weight since you're putting them on such young heifers? Or do they grow out to where it's not really a problem?
Calving ease is something most beefers seem to be pretty good about. Dairy cattle are all over the range of easy to hard pull. Studs advertise this calving ease on their bulls.
We bred our Holsteins that did not conceive quickly with sorted sexed (x-heifers to be born) semen then Angus semen. The Angus / Holstein crosses were about 20 pounds lighter than the full blooded Holsteins. We used calving ease Holstein sires on our heifers. Cows we did not worry about the calving ease.
@@cliffhonnasregenerativerancher that is the kind of thing we would have our herd vet check on a Monday herd check, when we were dairy farming. Dad retired and 800 milking cows and 800 youngstock were in sold in September 2022. May your time with the loved one on hospice be a blessing to all there.
Good looking herd.

Lovely lookin calves,but do the angus produce the best tasting beef.
60 day calf, that's an excellent one. what are you feeding it ?
Just it’s mother’s milk and grass!

Hello Dr. Cliff. Is the Pharo bull also a South Poll bull?
Yes, he’s a registered South Poll!
Will your 50% SouthPolls be registered or able to be registered?
Keep your cows and calves black or smokie they will bring 10 cents more a pound it’s your operation God Bless your family member

Nice calfs wish you was closer like to have half Angus/Southpole bull black hided
Hi Cliff, how would I be able to contact you for some replacement heifers?
Southpollcows@gmail.com
What do you do with your steers?
I’ve sold some to grass finishers and those I don’t find a market for there, I sell at the sale barn.
How does the price on south poll compare to Angus?

They are low birth weight. Thankfully I haven’t had any issue (but now I probably will). 😰🤠
5:59 the calf, does she have an umbilical hernia? Navel looks rather large.
Pretty sure just skin but will feel it when I work them.
