Perfect Peanut


Peanut is my 15 month old bull. His dam is Mayfield and is sire is Breyer. He has turned out to be quite the looker and is eager to fulfill his duties as new herd sire for my standard size cows.

He was dam raised and has very little direct contact with his human momma. He is a perfect gentleman in the field though. I have never had any trouble with aggression and I work around him every day. I am excited to see the calves he will produce!

Peanut got his name because the day he was born, Mike was leading Mayfield to the barn and eating cajun peanuts. Mayfield loved the peanuts that Mike was sharing with her. With his coloring and small size, I thought Peanut was a great name for Mayfield's calf!
