Why the South Poll Bred?

Excellent in Grass Based Farms 

The South Poll breed was developed to excel on grass and forage alone for a few main reasons. Firstly because grass only systems are much more profitable then farms that have high grain feed bills. Secondly because it produces a better life for the animal and a better final product for the market. 

Our cows eat a diet of primarily fescue and clover with a mix of some wild grasses and have done excellent.

Longevity

Fertility

Many cow breeds will rotate cows out every couple of years for younger heifers. Not south poll cattle. Many south poll bulls are in service into their teen years and some cows have been in service for 18+ years and never missed a calf. 

This is so valuable to the farmer because replacement cost for new cattle is so high. Spending on one cow you know will produce for a decade or two makes it much easier to be profitable.

Calm Disposition

Our family farm as well as many others really love and value a calm cow. It makes it such a more enjoyable experience to handle cows when they are tame. South poll are super docile and gentle. Many farmers can walk through the herd and pet them and they will not care. 

This is an extremely desirable trait if you have a farm like ours where kids will be around the cattle. Having calm cows lets me and my family be safer, and it will do the same for you.
