I wonder how this breed of cattle could be used to manage some of the scrub brush that California has. It seems like running this type could mitigate some of the fire fuels build-up.
Why? If the City Crybabies wouldn't allow all those Horned Herefords and Shorthorn crossbreds to do the EXACT same thing...... what's going to make you think they're gonna allow Corrientes or Pinewoods Cattle on there?
Regenerative, high density rotational grazing (managing for soil health vs. hanging weight) practically eliminates the need for inputs, thusly cutting costs. The Pineywoods, Cracker, Coriente are climate adapted, especially when crossed with Mishona from Zombabwe. They're gonna be the future of cattle in the SE.
As a kid (back in the 1950's), I remember piney woods cows running thru the forests & meadows around my great grandparents farm in Conecuh & Monroe counties. I always thought they were beautiful. I hated when they were replaced with Hereford & Angus cattle.
Californian here. This video is one of the most important and entertaining I have seen. I do appreciate it. Thank you.

That’s good outside of the box thinking , could coincide with a water conservation effort
It’s a possibility.
Definitely.
We have never owned cattle, but I am considering looking in to this breed , because they are so hardy
Now that’s the spirit.

Understandable.
I wanted to see more of the cattle. How big do they get. What are their tempments like. What are they like to calf out.
All interesting possibilities.
Nicely done. TY
In Florida we have “Piney Woods” cattle and hogs😜
In Florida I think the cattle are called the Florida cracker, closely related to pinewoods though.
Great article!
All the way!!
I have piney woods cattle in middle Tennessee
So far so good.
Yes I know about calves they will cause a ruckus with the adults when they run along the fence line.
Possibly.
I read ol yeller was
Actually lab/mastiff lol but love this stuff none the less
The movie Old Yeller was, the book one was a BMC
Talk about unusual breeding.
Obviously it looks like someone’s a screwball.
That bright red coat tho, lol
Interesting enough.
❤
Definitely.
They need some elk herds running in the forests.
Would elk survive the climate in Alabama?
@@Skashoon Yes
Excellent suggestion.
Possibly, but they would make a new source of prey for alligators.
Good luck.
