I live 20 min from where this breed was made. Kingsville,Texas on the King Ranch. Beautiful place, I actually delivered oil rig casing to a rig on that Ranch, saw the largest group of wild turkeys i've ever seen there.

that bull wasnt even that nice, maybe as a herd sire but if they were looking as a cow calf opperation i would have to see his epds, his profile isnt that nice and his sc didnt seem that large, i was not impressed

They also produced the 1946 triple crown winner "ASSAULT" and the 1950 kentucky derby winner "MIDDLEGROUND" they also had part of La Troienne which is the greatest brood mare of the twentieth century. I have been hunting out there at the King Ranch several times. It truly is an amazing place. So is the Y.O. ranch here in Tx also.

I just came across your question...

The Santa Gertrudis breed of cattle was developed in Texas by the King Ranch. They were from a Shorthorn and Brahman cross and I think the exact percentage of blood isn't known. They all trace back to the first really good bull they got from their breeding efforts, named 'Monkey' and I suspect that like they did with the Old Sorrel in their Quarter Horses, they likely used 'line breeding' to 'fix' his characteristics.

bigger is not better! The Americans have a saying there aint nothing that beats cubic inches. For me a Santa bull should be in the weight range of 800-900kg, be very musculine en show good body comformation. Average rainfall is +- 300mm per year in this area. Namibia is the dryest country South of the Sahara. We don't want over fed dinosaurs.
