I love draft animals, and have always wanted to train a yoke of oxen, and if I had more time and alot more money them calves would be headed my way. Where in gods green earth would you ever find a pair better matched for color. They would make the snappiest yoke of oxen you would ever find. We have raised rare breed animals before and it sure ain`t a money maker. I hate to think of how many different farm animals are near extinct(sp) I comend anyone that is keeping them going. Thanks Marc.

Discovered the Randall breed a few months ago on the internet by accident. So intriguing! Wish I could get these guys, but I'm WAY down south and, truth is, I don't really need them

Hope you get the price you're asking. They're beautiful little guys!

I bought two heifers last year at the local sale barn, that i later learned were Randall lineback. Or so I assume from my research. They will have their first calves in March. I gave under $1/lb at 540 and 560lbs. No papers. Friends think I was crazy to breed or even buy such off colored critters. I actually hope the calves don't show the coloring as it will be a discount at sale time. We see some interesting breeds sell occasionally, belted galoway, white park, scottish highland and of course longhorns. i think your calves are beautiful. As for the value, it is always what someone is willing to pay.

If you could establish linage you might have something there.

It's my dream to have some Randall's some day. Talk about the ultimate in american heritage breed cattle! There is a Randall cow at the zoo here in Wichita and she is just gorgeous. Heather

Well for now, I'll just roll in the manure and dream big! lol...... To my knowledge, there's not any of them in Oklahoma........... not that I've seen anyway.. I'd definetly split a trip back East with you though if one of us ever strikes it rich.

I don't know but I don't think so. Usually when I sell a team the new owner intends to update me but gets busy and forgets.

They are beautiful! I've been on your waiting list for a couple years, waiting on a heifer or two myself, just always liked this breed.

deineria · #34 01/22/10, 08:20 PM
