- Looking to maximize your cattle’s growth on grass? This video explores which breeds excel at fattening up efficiently on a grass-based diet. We’ll discuss the characteristics that make these breeds particularly well-suited for grazing and how you can leverage this to improve your herd’s performance.
Thanks for the recognition !
I have owned a herd of registered Irish Dexters for 7 years. They are not early maturing. They can take up to 30-36 months on grass. Although flavorful, the grass fed retail cuts of Dexter beef are super lean and very tough. There is very little marbling or seam fat. Unless ground into hamburger, I liken trying to eat grass finished Irish Dexter beef to chewing on your shoe. The cows are very hearty and make excellent mothers. In spite of small numbers in the US, there are surprisingly three breed registries. None of them offer performance testing to improve on the weaknesses of the breed. In an attempt to improve on the quality of beef produced by my herd, I recently purchased an american aberdeen bull to cross my cows with and will no longer pursue a registered herd.
Over 23 yrs, I bred in pure blood Wagyu genetics on 3 separate occasions. It put me at 950-1150 live weight, and 70% prime.
I still have my registered Dexters as well. They are lean, there is a market for that, but mine are more like a Piedmontese, it’s not leather. But I have ideal rotational grazing with 1-2 moves per day.
950 kilos? Or pounds?
Charolais cattle are found all over the U.S. Bulls are commonly used for cross breeding.
what about the belted galloway, red poll, ruby red, and the white park
No mention of South Poll?
Or Red Devon
South poll top of my list
Hard to beat south polls. My buddy in Connecticut is building a small herd he is loving them. He is a care taker of a beautiful estate and rotational grazes building up the soil. He's doing a great job.
@@DavidHickenbottom South Poll cattle are great. I discovered them by watching Gregg Judy. I know a few cattle producers around where I live, but none are raising them. This is Angus country here.
Is anyone else getting tired of the same AI voice in so many RUclips videos?
No, the content is more important. Very good video if you are farming cattle!
No, I´m not tired of the same voice. I´m sick and tired of ALL these AI videos!!!
@@pieterbuys7165 Never heard people raising beef call it "farming cattle".
I wonder why that is.
@@exilbayer6377 Yes, the days of hiring a cheap compiler of stock photos & video clips then feed a Wikipedia page description into a voice app are over.
So far, AI is as dumb as a box of rocks on these videos.
Don't know where he gets his info from but he is way out on most breeds he reads about
AI
Senepol are the best cattle in the world and do best on grass .
A Bonsmara is a breed who came out of crossbreeding the Afrikaner x Hereford x Shorthorn by a Specalist in Cattle ....Professor Bonsma .
Funny that most of the cattle he talks about are the standard breeds that are raised on most farms. South poll are bred to get fat on grass and long horn cattle are hardy and eat most anything but grow slower.
I live in Florida and holsteins are common here they can deal with the heat
Dairy, not fleshed for beef.
The charlais bulls i dealt with were aggressive intimidating and totally dominated other breeds of bulls and cows.
Say something about Fleckvieh.
Which cattle grow best on barley straw or wheat straw?
There are no nutrients in straw.
What about the Brahman
Speckle park cattle 🇨🇦
I’m on here learning which cow is a good PET. I won’t slaughter my pet so which breed is a good pet no milking or no meat. ?? I don’t want a micro mini highland nothing that’s the new norm now! I want a big beautiful bestie!
If you don't need it for any function then any cow is a pet.
@@AmazingLivestockBreeds Thank you 😊
A Longhorn cow will do wonderfully for a pet. They are very gentle and basically want to be pets. This is not true of all breeds!!
@@jonathanblack5597 Thank you 😊
Brown Swiss or Pinzgauer tend to be naturally friendly.
What about the Mashona breed from Zimbabwe.
Simentals limoseis
List is a joke without South Poll.
Bonsmara..😊😅😮❤😂🎉
Progeny of super steers? That would be steaks.
Milking Devon
Tuli cattle.
Takes longer than other breeds to mature...even longer than European breeds and other breeds accustomed to heat, such as Brahman and Boran.
U.S. the Charolais is rare? Bull-pucky!
Murray Greys have a nasty disposition.
Out of curiosity what negative experiences have you had with Murray Grey's dispositions?
@@andyzinnel4435 I had two Murray Grey cows who had normal beef cow dispositions-until they calved. Then, after trying to first kill their calves for a day or two, they then would turn on me, literally trying to kill me to protect their calves. No thanks! Ground beef.
@don66hotrod94 I use to raise murray Grey's myself which is why I asked and yes they seemed to be more nervous when they calved and sometimes more aggressive towards there calves when they calved then other breeds that's why I asked.
Crap
The commentary on this video is essentially garbage. For examples: what about the Dexter's propensity to have facially deformed calves or the Holsteins tendency to have short lives with high vet bills.
this gut is a joke
Terrible info
This list is terrible
Crap!!!!
