Thanks, Pawnee. What is your predominant species of grass? Mine is thistles and some fescue.


Buffalo grass is our native grass. When the rain stops it goes dormant until it finally rains again. With the heat we are having it will be brown and crunchy in a week or so

Gosh, I hate to pee on your parade (so to speak) but there is no such thing as a "heifer bull".
A heifer is a female bovine and a bull is, well a bull has testicles.......so..........

Where is it you're from again ? laugh

Heifer bull is a bull that tend to have smaller calves so its easier on young heifers to birth the first time.


When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

The cattlemen know what Pawnee is talking about.......shanemoss put it in a nutshell. Bulls that are genetically predispostioned to throw smaller framed calves are typically used on heifers for calving ease; thusly called heifer bulls by lots of cattlemen. Longhorns, Corriente, Dexters, Jerseys, Aberdeen/Lowline are some of the common breeds used for the job in this region.Some 'families' in specific breeds are known for having low birth weight calves and the bulls from those genetics are also often used on the heifers as 'heifer bulls'.

You guys convince lefty he can't be a ladies man with those arguments and I'll stop calling our low birth weight bulls heifer bulls. Lol

I thought a heifer was an unbred female and a bull was an intact male.
So... what's a "heifer bull"?

If I was a bull, the heifers would probably call me shorty.

A low birthweight bull that is easy on the heifers and the cow man because the calves are a very small at birth. No pulling 90 pound calves out of a 800 pound heifer.

No apology necessary, this thread has been a lot of fun with everyone and certainly a nice distraction from the news.
