  • In this video we put our red Dexter Bull in with the cows for breeding season! Mr. President is a ADCA registered Red Dexter Bull. He is a2/a2 and Homozygous polled. We have chosen to breed for a2/a2 and polled genetics in our Dexter herd.
    About Sweet Briar Farm
    We are a small farm located in Central/Northern Michigan. We farm every inch of our 6 acres. We breed Registered Dairy Goats, Dexter Cattle, and Heritage Hogs. Clean healthy food is important to us and we like to produce the majority of our food on the farm and we grow and raise enough to sell to local customers. Producing our own food also means we forage for wild edibles such as mushrooms and tap our maple trees in the spring to make maple syrup. In 2019 we added honeybees to the farm and have had as many as 30 active hives producing honey for us.
    Our goats include Nubian goats, Mini Nubians, Fainting Goats, and Nigerian Dwarf goats.
    Our Heritage Hogs include: registered Berkshires, Tamworth, Kune Kune, and Hereford.

    Cattle are so funny to watch when they are in heat. The dancing they do sometimes seems risky but the bull gets the job done. Congratulations on future calves.

      It’s normal everyone gets worked up when someone is in heat. Pigs and goats do it too 😄

    In the UK rams service the ewes or female sheep. The local term is 'tupping'. The farmers know when the ram has bred which ewe because there will be a colour mark on her rear.

      We know when his job is done when he loses interest. Usually only needs one shot once they are in heat.

      @@henryfitch8710 we briefly had some Shetland sheep. But the market for them by us wasn’t worth keeping them in our farm. There are lots of farmers that do raise sheep. Very popular for showing at fairs and in the right market very popular for meat.

      The problem in the UK for sheep is the shearing. The fleeces are worth very little compared to llama. I love English lamb though traditionally most is imported from New Zealand!!

    Not a bad life being a breeding bull as long as you can perform. Do non performers go to the knackers?

    Question: How many couplings does it take to actually successfully breed? And how do you know if the female is actually pregnant?

    • @SweetBriarFarmMichigan
      @SweetBriarFarmMichigan  Рік тому +5

      Should take just one time usually. Joleen went back into heat after this so we mistimed putting him in with her but that’s ok. You can tell they are pregnant when the bull looses interest and there is no mounting by the bull or the females.
      Our jersey Greta we are going to have preg checked. She has something weird going on she produces milk and has never calved.

      Or you can do physical hand testing. Inserting a gloved lubricated hand to arms length.

      I agree. I have been around herds of Jerseys and polled Herefords and, without fail, when a cow rides a bull, she will immediately get a good, hard service!
