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.

2011 Breeding 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.  He was 36 inches tall and 385lbs at over 4 years old.  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 expecting 19 calves from him in 2011 starting in April.

White Hot is a 2010 bull calf.  We don't normally use yearling bulls but this guy is really put together.  Great color, disposition, horn set and we think he will be in the ball park for size. He is in with some flashy cows and heifers so we hope he doesn't let us down.

Future Herd Sires

Since we are trying to raise the smallest and healthiest miniature cattle, we are always looking for small bulls. 

This silver bull above is now 3 yrs old and still only 30 inches tall. Expecting calves from him in 2012.

Thunder, this black and white bull is a nice yearling.  We will have to see how he grows out.  He may make a nice outcross for our herd. Currently under 36 inches 

A late 2010 bull that has really come on strong. Ragin Cain is a nice yearling.  Very correct and masculine with a great head and quite disposition.  Hopefully he stays in the right size range for us. I think he is a better bull than White Hot, but he is 6 months younger.

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.
