Red Poll offspring are highly predictable and uniform. Because they are only distantly related to many other commercial beef breeds, the Red poll can impart significant hybrid vigor when crossed with other breeds. Red Polls were used in the development of the Senopol breed in the Caribbean beginning in the 1920's. Red Polls are known for their fertility, mothering ability, rapid calf gain, calving ease, forage efficiency, gentle disposition, and lower fat content. They can vary from light red to dark red and they are always polled.
Red polls are a good choice for small farms because of their easy manageability.
Red Polls were first imported to America in 1873 and the American Red Poll Association was founded in 1883. Cattle Today has the information you are looking for about red poll cattle. News and information you just can't find anywhere else. Just click below and see what's there. All rights reserved.
