Randall cattle are triple purpose animals, being used for milk, meat and draft power. They are hardy and intelligent, and thrive on Forage -based management systems. Randalls seldom require birthing assistance, and metabolic disorders are unknown in the breed. The breed is characterized by a striking colorsided lineback color pattern, with most animals black over white, but shades of gray, blue and red are seen, and occasionally the recessive red gene that is present in the animals is expressed. They are variable in size, with females weighing between 700 and 1000 Lb (300 to 450 kg), and bulls reaching up to 1800 lb (800 kg). Randalls also vary in their conformation, with distinct Channel Island -type individuals, as well as blockier body types more like a Beef Shorthorn . Most of the Randall cattle are found in the Eastern United States, with the largest concentration in the Northeast. The largest Randall herd, and the breed Registry, are located in South Kent, Connecticut . EXTERNAL LINKS |
