Pillard's Miniature Cattle

What good does it do to have a nice herd of miniature cattle if you don't have a great bull.  We are always on the lookout for a small bull.  While size is important, we also would like to have conformation and disposition in there too.  Splash on some color and you have it made. 

Simple and easy....RIGHT!?  Not hardly.  It seems like it is getting harder to find bulls we like better than the ones we have. I know they are out there, everyone just hangs on to the good bulls.

Sugar Cain is our main herd sire and a home grown bull.  On his mothers side he goes back 3 generations born here.  He was born March 3, 2007.  Currently he is 35 inches tall and 366lbs at 32 months.  He is really starting to muscle up. 

 His calves are some of the smallest we have had and also the widest color variety out of a single bull.  This guy is going to really improve our herd.  We are keeping back all of his daughters in the 2009 calf crop.  We think they are that good.  We are expecting 17 calves from him in 2010.

Future Herd Sires

Since we are trying to rasie the smallest and healthiest miniature cattle, we are always looking for small bulls.  Currently,  we will breed our 1st calf heifers to a small red bull that is 2 yrs old and 30 inches tall. 

 We recently purchased a young silver bull that is and 26.5 inches tall at 15 months. We look forward to seeing what these young bulls will do with our herd.  They should be nothing but small.

A great cow herd is only as good as the bulls that go on them.  We look forward to each calf crop.  We think they get bettter and better.
