Shorthorns - get some pics on here JHM - I really like em and no Galloway semen in those tanks by any chance ????

No Galloway. Had a neighbor who had a few years ago, but they didn't sell well here, and were slow growers compared to Sim/Angus etc. I can try to post some pics of my Shorthorns, but am not very good with stuff like that.

Wow talk about a language barrier! I can see I have a lot of learning to do before I get to much deeper into the Hobby Farm bit. Thanks for all your help and info. I'll be sitting in tonight at the Salebarn to see how it works and maybe make a just on something in the next few weeks. If I see any thing I just have to have I'll post up to see if I did any good!

How did it work out?

Go to a sale barn in your area, ask the manager to help you pick out a couple calves.

The sale barn is the last place you want to go as a newbie. Ask some of the folks around you that have cattle for advice. Surely somebody will be willing to help you.

Miniature what type?

Just got my Dexter Association magazine, there are plenty of bulls that have shipped semen available. They are blood typed for being carriers or non-carriers, color, polled or horned, so a buyer has plenty of detalis in the choices, to pick from. The Dexter Association wants to be very transparent for newcomers, folks who are interested in the breed. Old breed, type is more fixed than newer small cattle. Heights vary from 36" to 48" on the bulls. Most are sold as dual purpose, but some lines look beefy, others are dairy, milk a bit better.

I am not familiar with other dwarfed down breeds or types, so can't help you with semen there.
