Buelingo

The Buelingo was created in the USA in the 70's when a successful cattleman called Russ Bueling had the idea for a new breed that was belted and fit the requirements of the beef industry. From Buelings idea a group of dedicated cattlemen including Alfred Ostrum and Russ Danielson (a Professor of Animal Science at North Dakota State University) lay the ground work, through careful selection and attention to detail the Buelingo emerged.

In the beginning a group of 14 commercial cows from the Bueling herd were registered as the initial foundation herd. The females were born from 1970 through 1979 and represented strong Shorthorn genetic influence. The future contribution of these females to the breed was limited. Records indicate only two of the 14 females produced a total of five calves that were registered.    more...
