What's in a name?

How does a huge bull get the name 'Cuddles'? Once upon a time, Cuddles was a cute little calf that loved to lean and be pet on by anyone! As he grew up, he still loved to lean and be pet on, and even made great friends with our Stallion colt, Oro Noblè. As 'teenagers', the two would butt heads and chase each other around the pasture. Even when his cows are in heat, he's a gentle boy and still lovs his neck scratched.

What's a Brahma?

This bovine species came from India to the rest of the world. Brahman are mainly used for breeding and meat and is crossbred often for great results. The Brahman has a very distinct hump extending over the shoulder and neck and large floppy ears. Another distinction is the loose flap of skin which hangs form the neck, called a dewalp. The hump, skin flap and huge ears all serve to withstand hot Texas summers better tha other cattle. Brahman are a smart, yet stubborn breed. Typical bulls weigh from 1600 to 2100lbs.
