CALVING EASE AND CALF VIGOR – The inherent calf shape allows for the Salers-influenced calf to be born unassisted and be up nursing in an unbelievable short amount of time as a result of the less-stressful birth. After a tough stretch of winter, one cattleman stated, “this calf vigor is real – they have a will to live and they get up and nurse while some of these other ones are slow and getting froze down.”

Commercial producers have experienced first-hand how the Salers females get bred early in the breeding season. More cows bred with more live calves born early in the breeding season will enhance your operation’s profitability. They will continue to do this as 11-15 year old cows. Milk and mothering ability add to the Salers-influenced cow’s maternal value. After that less-stressful birth, the Salers cow takes care of her calf and provides the milk production required to wean a heavy calf. UNMATCHED GRAZING AND RANGEABILITY – The Salers cattle will get out and graze the hills and utilize the entire pasture and rangeland. These traits have been witnessed by commercial producers across the country. The cattle don’t camp on the riparian areas and will get out and graze the hills and use the entire pasture. AN ADDED BENEFIT – The bulls are aggressive breeders and typically stay sound with good hoof structure and correct feet and legs. They provide added longevity as a result and can last for multiple breeding seasons. n ow m ore T hAn e ver – MATERNAL CONVENIENCE TRAITS CRITICAL TO RANCH REVENUE – As we witness record cattle prices at sales across the country, we are seeing first-hand, how valuable maternal traits are to the cow herd. The combination of fertility and calving ease create a critical combination for the profitability of a ranching enterprise.
