Full Blood Maine Weekly Update

be sure to look at the other breeds.

i'd be curious to see those bulls breed.  they probably can't breed many cows before they get tired.

i can't believe they are selecting those cattle.

probably yet just another example of it having to get worse before it swings the other extreme rather than breeding for average.

this is the french national show and no one can show.

I didnt get to see the maines-but les salers avec la grande derrier were interesting-wut a bunch a beasts O0

I agree on Savoyard-Beetoven doesnt look thick or deep enough-although hes smooth-the others are too extreme-especially the two with the circular back legs O0

I sure like the Blonde bulls. 

anyone have any experience with this bull?

fullblood tidal wave heifer (426189) with mma handy 20y (424504) heifer calf born unassisted. 4 heifer calves so far by handy (2 fb & 2 3/4 black) all unassisted. no bulls yet.

is tidal wave mvh revival?

He is. We had our unassisted bull calf by handy and a l3 ipy first calf full blood heifer we raised. Here is darc storm.

Does anyone have pics of

general Jackson 223y
Dabla's pride
Dablas pride 85p
Ajm eclat

I sent them in for the 1000 animal geneseq project.

The markers were sent to Canadian assn so calves can be registered in both assn's.

contact the gal in canada who won't send you the magazines you bought. lol lol......

taking the boys to get collected tomorrow.

Those are two really nice bulls. The boy on the right is extremely eye appealing and might have some potential as a Cunia alternative. He looks better, IMO.

Darc Storm is coming on nicely, too. He might not be everyones cup of tea but he sure has tremendous outcross potential and is already showing some capacity.

I saw Cunia personally and I think Yukon is better. He is thicker and more moderate and bigger footed. We have never had to trim his feet and he is 32 mo old. If I had black or red clubby cows that bordered on being too straight I would use him over and over again then come back clubby on those females.

That bull on the right is magnificent.

I have to agree that he is pretty special. I sure would like to see a video and see how well he travels.

Doc- Sun you might have something very important. I never saw Cunia but saw the first round of F-1's out of mostly Black Angus cows. At the time, I was not very impressed with his calves because he was not a big changer in frame score (Most breeders wanted more frame). I thought  they did not have enough grow in them because they were so chunky for their age, mostly 4-5 months when I saw them and most looked like they did not have enough gas. If your bull can do what Cunia has done without the issues of Monkey mouth or being too straight he will be a great one.

I hope your bull is sampled by enough breeders and proves to be an alternative to Cunia minus those negative issues. It will be interesting to see what the future holds.

He is entered in kc & Louisville going to enter in Denver & ft worth got 400 units of semen on the 1st 2 jumps and jumped 1 more time at genex in mo I am thinking about getting whole herd video done soon IMO brad hooks videos are the best quality my handy bull above is going to be the bull for heifers and smaller frames Yukon will be registered as 3/4 shorthorn next wk already dna'd but will get th & pha done although I think he is by pedigree

Good luck Doc-Sun. He sure has a lot of good things going for him. One of the smoothest Fullbloods I've seen. Being conservatively marked is also a big plus.
