About these 15 registered Hereford bulls

The bull in the photograph is tag 1384, one of the polled ones — deep red with the classic white face and underline, wide through the chest, long through the rib, clean sheathed and standing on good bone. The set runs both horned and polled, so tell us which you want and we will pull from the right end of the group.

At 16 to 21 months these are yearling and coming-two-year-old bulls — old enough to breed a real book of cows this season, young enough to give you four or five more after it. They are moderate to large framed at 1,150 to 1,550 pounds, so there is size here for a buyer running big cows and a smaller end for someone breeding heifers.

They are fleshy, developed on pasture with supplement. Worth saying plainly: condition sells bulls but it does not breed cows. Let them down gradually on grass for 45 to 60 days before turnout so they go to work fit rather than fat. A bull that steps off the trailer overweight and into a July breeding pasture will melt, and his conception rates show it.

Registration and pedigree

All fifteen are registered Hereford bulls and their papers transfer at purchase. Registration numbers, sires and dams are on each bull’s paperwork and sent on request — ask for them before you buy so you can check pedigrees against your own cows, particularly if you already run Hereford or baldy females and want to avoid doubling up on close relatives.

EPDs, performance data and fertility

• Average birth weight: 72 pounds — moderate, and it matters more to a heifer buyer than any single EPD
• Age: 16 to 21 months · Weight: 1,150 to 1,550 lbs · Frame: moderate to large
• Fertility: Guaranteed fertile
• EPDs: Birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight, milk and calving ease come on each bull’s papers — ask by tag number
• Breeding soundness exam: Request the BSE results before purchase — no bull should leave a place without one
• Trich testing: Required by many states for bulls crossing state lines

Hereford cattle traits that matter in a herd sire

The Hereford cattle traits that earn their keep in a bull are the unglamorous ones. Docility comes first: a bull you can move without a rodeo does not tear up fence, hurt a hired hand or get sold at a loss in his second year. Herefords are known for it, and it passes to the calves.

The other Hereford cattle characteristics buyers come for are foraging ability, feed efficiency on rough grass and hardiness in heat and cold alike — Hereford cattle characteristics that show up in the calf crop as much as in the bull. Calving ease belongs on that list, and the 72-pound average birth weight behind this group is the number to point at — moderate birth weight is what lets a producer use a Hereford bull on heifers and sleep through February.

Buyers weighing Hereford vs Angus cattle usually frame it as a choice, but Hereford vs Angus cattle work better together than apart. A Hereford bull on black cows gives you baldy calves with real hybrid vigor — more pounds at weaning, better fertility in the replacement females, and cows that stay in the herd longer. That cross is why Hereford bulls keep selling into predominantly Angus country year after year.

Who these Hereford bulls for sale are right for

A commercial cow-calf operation running black or baldy cows is the obvious buyer. Fifteen head lets you bull several pastures with the same Hereford cattle traits behind every calf, and a uniform baldy calf crop draws more bidders on sale day than a load of odds and ends.

A seedstock breeder or a rancher rebuilding a purebred program gets registered horned or polled genetics with the paperwork behind them. Smaller outfits should not be put off by the number — any quantity sells, and one bull is often all a 40-cow herd needs. Breeding heifers? Ask for the lower birth weight end of the group.

Health, handling and what’s included

• Records on request: EPDs, registration numbers, sires and dams

Price, delivery and how to buy these registered bulls

Contact us for current pricing, per head or on the full set of 15. Volume moves the number, so tell us how many you need, horned or polled, and what cows they are going on. They are available now, and a deposit holds a bull or a group while hauling is arranged.

We ship nationwide with insured livestock haulers.

Permits and health papers are handled before loading; freight is quoted by the mile.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to buy all fifteen? No. Any number sells — one bull, a small group or the complete set. Buying more than one usually improves the price per head, so ask when you call.

Are they horned or polled? Both. Say which you want when you call — the one pictured, tag 1384, is polled. Polled genetics pass to the calves and save you a dehorning job every spring, so say which you want when you call.

How many cows will one of these bulls cover? At 16 to 21 months they are still young. The rule of thumb is roughly one cow per month of age, so figure 16 to 21 cows apiece over a 60 to 90 day season rather than the 25 to 30 a mature bull handles — near 240 to 315 cows across all fifteen.

Can I use one on first-calf heifers? The 72-pound average birth weight is moderate, which is the first thing to check for heifers. Ask for individual birth weights and calving ease EPDs by tag number and we will point you at the right bulls.
