Black and BWF – 45 Head – BC08132645

Forty-five black and black-white-face cows weighing right around 1,250 pounds, bred to black bulls, set to calve between August 1 and November 1.

Straight talk on age first: this is a mature group. The mouths run short solid to broken mouth, meaning these cows have several calving seasons behind them. We’d rather tell you that on the listing page than let you discover it in the chute. What that age buys you is proof. Every cow in this group has already bred back and raised a calf, more than once. There’s no guessing about whether she’ll milk, whether she’ll claim her calf, or whether she’ll settle. A first-calf heifer is a promise. A cow like this is a track record.

That makes this group a fit for a specific kind of buyer: someone who needs calves on the ground rather than a twenty-year herd foundation. If you’ve got grass to use, a fall calving window to fill, or a herd number you need to hit this season, mature cows do that work immediately. Plenty of good operations run older cows deliberately and cull on the back end.

The black and black-white-face mix bred to black bulls means a calf crop that sells as a uniform black and baldy group. At 1,250 pounds these are substantial, well-grown cows, not a light or run-down set.

Health program is 6VL5, Safeguard, Cleanup, and injectable Dectomax. They’ve been on Wind and Rain mineral, and they’ll follow a feed truck, which tells you most of what you need to know about handling them.
