Cattle Breeds

Beefmasters come in black and red. Red colouration varies from light to dark, and they may also have white patches on the forehead and/or the body, especially along the underline from the elbow to the flank.

All of the lower 48 would produce Polled Herefords. It just takes a bit of looking and researching to find any breeders that do have such animals.

A Brangus bull typically weighs around 2400 lbs, on average.

300-600 pounds.

"Sire" breeds, also called terminal breeds, are those that are best used for breeding calves that are best for beef production (being fed and slaughtered for beef.) "Dam" breeds, also called maternal breeds, are those that are best used for breeding replacement animals like bulls and heifers that are used in breeding herds.

Now as to why such breeds are called terminal or maternal breeds are because they have certain genetic characteristics that entitle them to be best used for raising calves for beef or for the breeding herd. This shows you that not all breeds are the same as the other and have the same genetic characteristics as another. For instance, Charolais cattle are best used as a terminal breed versus Shorthorn because of the ability of calves to grow quickly and gain weight in a shorter amount of time than Shorthorns. Shorthorns are best used as a maternal breed because they have better mothering, calving and milking ability than Charolais do and thus take less labour to care for and raise calves than Charolais do.

Those cows that are large and white include such breeds as Chianina, Marchigiana, and Charolais.

Around 900 lbs, more or less.

If they match the Limousin Association's (depending which country you are living in) breed standards and you are wanting to breed Limousins, then yes.

This question cannot be answered because it depends on the breed and no statistics have been created to count the number of cattle that have spots or speckles or patches or whatever. There are many breeds in the world that spotted or speckled cattle, including Nguni, Sanganer, Speckle Park, Corriente, Texas Longhorn, Florida Cracker/Pineywoods, Guernsey, Holstein, etc.

They are found in Sctoland, and also in North America.

Hereford cattle are the second or third most popular beef cattle in the United States, next to other more popular breeds like Angus and Charolais.

The same sort of equipment you would use for raising Angus or Hereford cattle.

It's a part of the breed. A longhorn wouldn't be a longhorn without the horns.

The average birthweight of a Hereford calf is around 45 to 80 lbs, depending on the genetics influenced by the dam and sire of that calf. This is for both horned and polled cattle of this breed.

The first American-created breed of beef cattle would be the Texas Longhorn and also the Florida Cracker/Pineywoods cattle. Both breeds descended from the Spanish cattle that were imported from Spain in the late 1400's.

The price of a brangus bull depends on conformation, whether he's a proven sire or not, and his EPD values. Prices may range from $3000 to $5000 for a mature proven bull. Prices will be lower for yearling bulls.

This is not really known today since this breed is primarily used as beef cattle, not draft cattle. However, they are pretty strong, and can probably pull over half a ton of weight if they were trained to pull carts and wagons.

However, if by "strength" you are referring to good things or advantages about this breed, such would be that it is an excellent range cow--a cow best suited for land with low-quality forage and which requires females to be excellent mothers and protective of their calves.

Bazadais is a French breed of cattle. See related link below.

Depends on his temperament, and how long he lasts before he figures out he can intimidate his human owners, so it's kinda hard to really tell an average age.

Santa Gertrudis.

Santa Gertudis and the new breed Santa Cruz

You can use a Simmental (white-faced one) or a Hereford. Hereford over Brangus would probably give you the best in terms of heterosis.

I'm guessing around 50 lbs.
