NAME THE BULL!

[OH Breeder]

RIGHT BREED, WRONG BULL! (But good guess!) Here's Bysantin..who is older than the mystery bull  (cow).

What happen to this Maine bull? He looks like he would fit in pretty good today. Great muscle etc...Wonder how tall he was?Maybe some won't agree, but I like the looks of him from the picture. Looks like an easy keeper easy fleshing bull. But, just a picture.

Those Bysantin Half-bloods were pretty cool. Made good mommas, some of them. He could throw that "ground sow"  look...amazing rib circumference, etc..

His drawback was calving ease and breeders didn't mess with using more of him after the reports came in. Those early breeders were concerned with trying to lower those birth weights. Many modern pedigrees though, show him to have been a good foundation bull. You will see Bysantin half blood cows in pedigrees frequently  as
the base foundation, because he also was the first Maine-Anjou bull imported to Noth America.

Cunia first became popular because of his calving ease, even before his females went into production. I was never a Cunia freak like many club calf and some breeders are today, but he offered many good traits. Owned a cow that went back to Cunia twenty- one times in her extended pedigree. She won many shows but could not get her bred.

I wonder with those early reports what birthweights were like.  I wonder if those BW's then would be more moderate today. IE: bw's in the 90's and 120's today

regarding #140 and it's replies, i think it's interesting that both Cunia and Bysantin had 112# BWs (actually, the reported BWs were 51 kg).  in regard to Bysantin, everything associated with him was big, just plain big everything.

for those of you who want to reminisce, her are two pics one from the early 70's of a halfblood Bysantin heifer with a 3/4 Crack alf at side and the other of a halfblood Bysantin bull. a little different than today's cattle.

(hopefully i got the pics attached right)
