Full Blood Maine Weekly Update

More info on Franco... You will find him in the pedigree of the Tykia bull that Derouchy used with grat success to make all those great F1's out of Angus cows.

So the Mercedes cow has a shot of Franco through aTykia cow.

Not trying to change thread direction:but time is running out on her-Due to 2 system repairs-STOUTER THAN THE PICTURE-this cow is over 12-very low bw:not very big-and older conventional breeding-some pretty good clubby cattle go back to her-long and short-flush-1: Hardings Capital gains 2: K &A Shakedown- A kneejerk reacton would be fine:thanks in advance

Breed her to someone who will throw a longer hip from hooks to pins.

Which of the above bulls will do that?

what is her sire and dam ? i like capital gain's for her but maybe something else i have.

Sire-MSF Equiity on Huberdale PM Laura-Dam-X Byland Marjorie-Basically a whole load of Dividend-she looked just like him-down to the goggle-blaze face:she had a couple good bulls-Byland Explosian (Australia) and UB DTR Junior Walker-a Double down who barely had 1 calf crop-but produced a bunch of good show hiefers.

fred told me a while ago that he used most if not all the tykia 77m semen he had on angus cows.  he was likely too big on anything high percentage.

like this one.

franco

18 mo manitou kuda son #424505 who has too much leather that pic doesn't show for me. i do think he could produce american show steers on the right cows. he is very moderate.

That's a good looking bull. How's his heart girth? How about the fleshing ability of daughters out of him?  I don't know anything bout maines but I like how this one is put together if he's got enough guts. Great head too.

darco and index calves updated pics

Doc-Sun, Those boys are really coming on nicely. Index calf took a better picture at this stage and looks really practical. Still like the Darco as well.

we have had our yukon bull out for a while getting some exercise. he is looking so good i am thinking about putting him in the cooler in a few weeks and showing him at the american royal against the blacks. what do you think?

Thats a cool looking dude-if you take him to the Royal-dont forget to get stall pics-from behind etc- O0

i like the looks of your bull. like to see a rear pic

That's an extremely smooth made Full Blood.  He appears to be put together nicely. I believe he would do well at the Royal. Go for it!

I wouldn't think twice about using him on Shorthorn cows.

Click to expand...

here you go with a rear pic. added a cunia pic. i see some similar characteristics between him and yukon, but yukon is a more moderate package with more volume than cunia had when i saw him in canada. yukon also has a very different bloodline, amaa 430204.

Still impressed!! (thumbsup)

not only that, but cunia is a carrier for monkey mouth and spastic pareisis and is over $200 unit.

i can't believe these clubby guys aren't trying to remake some of these crossed up bulls without cunia bloodlines.

Cunia appears to be weak in his top,. Was that s characteristic of some of his offspring? I'm not real familiar with his prodigy other than have seen some good cows out of him.
