"We bought Pinnacle Pocket Charlie as a young 1 year old bull. The idea was to put him with our Beefalo cows (a cross breed between American bison and cattle) to improve their tick resistance, increase the red component in the herd and get more polled progeny (because of the bison genetics, Beefalo carry the horned gene). Charlie didn't disappoint:
At three years of age he has many calves on the ground and they are all polled!
He is still growing, weighing close to 700 kg in the paddock (no feed) with 19 cows to look after.
Proserpine is a high rainfall, tropical area, but Charlie's skin is flawless with hardly any ticks at all.
He is quiet and very easy to handle.
Charlie will improve our Beefalo herd and make them more suited for the humid tropical climate".
