Bulls


Dakota will be the sire of most of the 2009 calves. We are anxious to see if he will throw his color to his progeny.	Ezra is a very small bull. We are hoping to get some 2008 heifer calves from him to cross back to Dakota or another Swede line bull.

Romeo is a 2006 bull that we are keeping back for possible use in 2009.	Bodacious is a 2007 bull that we are keeping back for possible use in 2009. He is a full brother to Romeo.

Hot Shot is a 2000 bull who measures 32" tall. He is a grandson of Swede and Little Red, the first two red Zebu in the United States. He is a very laid back animal and passes that trait on to his offspring. He has been the sire of many very colorful and small calves.	Thunder is a 2003 bull who measures 36" tall. He will be the sire of some of the 2007 calves. We are anxious to see the quality of calf that he will produce and we are confident that he will put lots of color in his calves.

Dakota is an unusual colored 2005 bull out of Hot Shot and Melissa and we are going to keep him another year to see how he matures for possible breeding in 2007.	There are other types of miniature cattle. Dustin Pillard is a breeder who has spent fifteen years developing a small well conformed type of bovine. Visit his site at www.miniaturebull.com to see and learn about his very small and colorful cattle.

The bulls awaiting breeding season. The cows are exposed to the bulls only during the months that produce calves from April 15 to October 15 thus avoiding calving during the colder months.	Little Swede was purchased by Rolling Prairie Farm in April 1994 when he was three weeks old. We knew that we had to have him the second that we saw him. He was the sire of Hot Shot above. His blood runs deep in our herd as he was the foundation bull that we used for our line breeding. We are very happy that we decided to purchase him and wouldn't change a thing if we could do it over.

A couple of bulls in early spring.	Domino is a great looking bull that we used for a couple of years and then sold. We have kept back several of his daughters for our breeding program. We hated to see him go but we can't keep them all.
