Beral of Wye was the senior herd sire at Black Queen Angus Farm. He was purchased by Kit Pharo of Colorado who has sold a number of bull calves sired by this bull.

Back in 2014, Morgan Hartman put together this excellent series on the ins and outs of breeding and genetics. It was very popular then, and remains one of On Pasture’s most popular series. Here are links to each of the articles. Plus I added Funny for you at the end. Enjoy!

I am the founder, editor and publisher of On Pasture, now retired. My career spanned 40 years of finding creative solutions to problems, and sharing ideas with people that encouraged them to work together and try new things. From figuring out how to teach livestock to eat weeds, to teaching range management to high schoolers, outdoor ed graduation camping trips with fifty 6th graders at a time, building firebreaks with a 130-goat herd, developing the signs and interpretation for the Storm King Fourteen Memorial trail, receiving the Conservation Service Award for my work building the 150-mile mountain bike trail from Grand Junction, Colorado to Moab, Utah...well, the list is long so I'll stop with, I've had a great time and I'm very grateful.
