Spring Update

It has been an exciting spring for us at Cosgray Polled Herefords. We have 50 calves roaming the pasture and they are looking really good. The Airline calves are stout hipped, wide topped, with a lot of bone. The T-Bone calves are all cherry red, with a lot of bone and thickness. Our A.I. Sired calves all look great and we will have plenty to offer this fall no matter what you're in the market for. It is also breeding season and we are in full force synching up cows and getting everything A.I.'d. We will have some great matings for next year as well as many new E.T. matings to hit the ground next year. Since I last posted we have acquired a new herd sire. He comes from Topp Herefords and is a TH 223 71I Victor 755T son that we have named TH 25P 755T Alcatraz 46Y. We are expecting big things from him and should have semen available in June. We feel he will be a moderate birth, high growth bull that will excel in making great females. We will also be breeding a lot of cows to AA HRD Chuckwagon 0138, the 2012 Division Champion at Ft. Worth. Chuck is a moderate framed meat wagon of a bull that we feel will moderate frame and birth, add depth, dimension, and thickness. He is by far the easiest fleshing bull we have ever seen and gains on minimal inputs. Ask us about semen options on this exciting bull. We will be marketing the calves in a variety of venues this fall and I encourage everyone to come on out and walk the pastures and check everything over. This is the most balanced set of calves we have had and we have roughly 50 more to calve. Give me a call if you are ever in the area or simply want to talk cattle! Until next time. Alex
