When do you breed red angus?
A red angus what? Cow? Bull? Heifer? Please be more specific in your questions!
What is a Balancer heifer?
A Balancer heifer is a heifer that is made up of 1/2 Angus and 1/2 Gelbvieh, or 3/4 Angus and 1/4 Gelbvieh or 3/4 Gelbvieh and 1/4 Angus. There is no difference in what the composition of the sire or dam is, so long as one of the parents are Angus, 1/2 Angus-Gelbvieh or Gelbvieh breeding and the other a different breeding/composition of what the other parent is.
How much should a 7 month old angus heifer weigh?
Around 700 lbs.
How do you identify a male huffer in angus cow?
There is no such thing as a "male huffer", not even in an Angus cow or anywhere else. Unless you were trying to spell out "heifer", the question has no merit thus cannot be answered. However, even if you were asking how to identify a "male heifer" in angus cattle (which I assume you were more likely trying to ask), there still is no such thing as a male heifer. A heifer is only female, never either male or female. Heifers are immature female bovines, or female bovines that have never given birth to a calf. Heifers are often smaller and much younger-looking than an adult Angus cow. They do not have an udder like a cow does.
What age are Angus cows able to breed?
An Angus cow is able to breed anytime she is not pregnant and in heat.
Can Angus cows become pregnant all year?
No. Angus cows should only be pregnant for around 9 months of the year and be able to have a two to three month break, depending on their fertility rate. Then after their little break, can they get bred again.
What is makimg 1of my angus bulls and one heifer to go blind in one eye?
Pink eye can cause cattle to go blind...if it looks infected or swollen it could possibly be pink eye
Are black angus heifers good at taking care of twin calves?
No. A heifer cannot nor will not produce enough milk to look after twins. You will need to bottle feed one of them to keep the heifer from going down too fast with the demands of her twins. You may have to bottle feed them both at first if they're both really hungry.
Can a black angus heifer be bred at 600 pounds?
No, unless the average weight of the main cowherd is 1000 lbs, which then the heifer is 60% of the average cowherd weight. But, if the average mature weight of your herd is a bit higher, then definitely not, as she is obviously too young and too light to be bred. If she's bred already, inject some Lutalyse in her NOW.
At what age can Angus bulls be used for breeding?
She's already the right age to be pregnant, since a cow is a mature female that has had one or two calves already. If she's open and has been open at least 45 to 60 days after having her last calf and is showing signs of normal estrus, she can be bred to be pregnant again.
What is the price range for a red angus?
Depends on what type of animal you are looking for: open cow, bred cow, cow-with-calf (3-in-1), bred heifer, open heifer, bull, or steer. Price also ranges from whether they are registered or are commercial. Registered cattle tend to be more expensive than the commercial cattle. It also depends on what's on the market, and where you buy from.
What if you had a Jersey heifer and she is bred but you don't want to milk her so if you fed her low protein hay she would produce less milk just enough to feed her calf Would this work?
It would and it wouldn't. You could ruin the heifer by doing this, as dairy cattle always put more energy into producing milk than energy into keeping their weight up. When she's lactating, she will be putting all her resources into milk production, and feeding a low quality hay might just be the thing that could really pull her down. I do know that if you feed a lower quality feed this will reduce milk production. But it also depends on the breed: if you didn't want to milk her, why did you get a Jersey in the first place? You should've purchased an Angus heifer or a Hereford heifer or any kind of heifer that is not a dairy heifer. So this is a real catch 22 situation for you.
