#12 • Eldor - Chondro Neg. Bull/Steer

Part of Autumn 2024 Mini Highland Calves (timed auction by Cyrus Ridge Farm)

High bid $21,500.00

Status: Sold

Eldor is a TINY chondro neg. bull with the option to castrate. He's so tiny we think his new owner should name him "Tiny Tim". He is white in color with the double wild gene!  He is so sweet, loves cuddles, to be brushed and treats, but also respects boundaries when we walk away.  Eldor is fantastic for any farm, no matter what your goals!   Calf Info Name: Eldor of Cyrus Ridge Tag #: None BD1 Chondro Gene Carrier: Negative Beta Casein Milk Protein: A1/A2 Birth Height: 20” Birth Weight: 34# Breed: Mini Highland Breed Percentage: Scottish Highland Color: White Color Breakdown: Dh/Dh Two copies of PMEL17-delTTC dilution variant.

Date Of Birth: 09.02.04 Horned Status: Horned Sex: Male- Intact with the option to castrate IMCBR Registration #: 30397 - IMCBR Eldor was born a few weeks early, and breech. He had a hard time nursing, however his mom was attentive and took care of him, he just couldn't figure it out.  After a few days of helping him nurse in the field we decided to pull him and bottle feed him.  He is also eating grain well.  At a month old Elder got an infection where his ear tag was placed. We have been treating this and it is healing well, however his ear is a little deformed because of this,   Eldor is bonded really well to Eugenia who is also in this auction.   Dam Info Name: Caramel of Cyrus Ridge Breed: Mini Scottish Highland Percentage: 100% Scottish Highland Reg Height: 42" Chondro Carrier: No IMCBR Registration #: 8023 - MCBR   Sire Info Sire: Diesel Of Cyrus Ridge Breed: Mini Scottish Highland Percentage: 100% Scottish Highland 3 Year Registered Height: 38.5" Chondro Carrier: Yes Registration #: 20159 - MCBR **Please see the documents for more sire information.  Due to Cohen's age at the time of this breeding, and the information provided from UC Davis, it is unlikely that the sire is Cohen. However, the only way to know is to submit DNA. We will pull DNA from his Dam the next time we work the cattle. Cohen is 75% highland, 25% Dexter, chondro+, and 37" tall.**   Cyrus Ridge Farm makes no claims or guarantees as to the mature height of this animal. While we can all make an educated guess based on averages of the parents, anyone who tells you they can accurately predict the mature height of a calf is either naive or lying. Breed percentage is believed to be accurate, however there is no breed purity dna testing available in the U.S.   For more info and photos of Eldor's parents please visit Our Website Our Facebook Page: Cyrus Ridge Farm
