Might have attitude. they have always did well in the show ring such as the judge liking them. My last two have had attitude problems and they would try to get away and this years heifer tried to kick alot, might have been the mother don't know. Good luck with your heifer

i doubt she will have and attitude. sunseekers are big pets, hairy.

Zach. Sounds like someone has had some experience w Sunseekers and attitude. Maybe you haven't,but there are others out there with more experience than even you and your 4000 plus posts. Its those argumentative comments like that that have given you the reputation that you have earned on this board.

Our experience with sunseekers has been great, i have been around several who were all big babies, especially our steer from this past year, who was so laid back that you practically had to push him into the show ring, good luck with your new heifer

Our Sunseeker calf this year is very gentle. Was broke to tie in 10 minutes and was leading second time out. Good luck with your calf!

We have two Sunseeker heifers this year and they both are like big puppy dogs. So far we have not had any structure issues or any other issues with them. good luck with your new heifer.

fact 1. that was not an argumentative comment
fact 2 Ive dealt with 6 sun seeker calves in 2 years and they were all big big babies. ive got some experience with them. they are hairy, stout and big boned. they might have some structural issues but very few do.

Well I am new at this but it looks like you are the one that is off Doublestuff. I have seen you trying to pick on zach in another thread what seems to be your problem? Jealousy (just a thought) I don't know. Zach just simply stated his opinion and it was not derogatory in any way, shape, or form.

i can't vouch for zach, but the numbers of posts and experience are inversely proportional for me.

Havn't delt wth a lot of them(10) and I have been kicked by at least 5 of them. My sister showed a market steer last year out of Sun Seeker x foreplay cow and that thing was a peice of work from the day I bought it at 5 months old till she sold it at fair.

We have raised 15 or more sunseekers and not one of them has had an attitude or structure issues. Some might get kind of coarse up front but they all have had no issues moving. Out of all the calves we have dealt with sunseekers have all been the best I have ever had to break. And I have not been kicked by one. But they have all came from my own cows that don't have any attitude problems. So I would lean more towards the cow side for attitude issues if there are some. All of our calves have been great to clip and lead after one or 2 times washing and clipping.

i've been around more calm ones than ornery ones. there will always be some goofy ones out of bulls but i can only think of a few that had some fire and seem to remember most being relatively quiet.

Hoosier · Sep 22, 2009

we showed 2 sunseekers last year, a heifer and a steer. the steer was a pup, never had an attitude issue. his biggest problem was he got a bit coarse up front. heifer was a bit of a handful from time to time....never was wild or mean but she was one of those calves that always had her head up. however she was a lot smoother fronted. both stout and sound as a cat.

Dyer Show cattle · Sep 23, 2009

I thing I can add about sunseeker is I have seen him at stud and he is one of the most impressive mature bulls I have ever seen. And that was even standing next to WMW and Heatwave and all the clones. The only other 2 mature bulls at hawkeye breeders that even stand close to as good are Aberdeen and Money Shot when I was there. I usually go 1-2 times a year.

Hey your just down the road from me, I am in Audubon, MN. Did you purchase your heifer for a 4-H project? If you did and are in EOT 4-H, our county Becker, will potentially be co-hosting a fitting clinic next summer, details are in the process. We just had a 1st livestock comm meeting last night and that was a topic brought up.

BABYTEX · Sep 26, 2009

Hi becker county my name is lindsey loerzel, and Yes I'm from East Ottertail County. I purchased my heifer for a 4-H project. i really enjoy taking part in those groomin and clipping clinics for i am always looking to learn more. This past summer we had a girl come out and personally give me a clipping and groooming clinic, but i am always looking to learn more!!!! If you are somewhat new to this, i would sure be willing to show you a few pointers if you would like to stop at my house sometime this spring or summer!!!! If you were down at state fair for livestock encampment i showed a Texas Hold'em
Steer i was actually grooming it right in the middle of the aisle for i ran into some bad lucky for it started raining when i was trying to groom him outside. Just out of curiosity are you Rondi Ulmers Daughter cause i just happened to live by perham and she is my Science teacher!!!!!!! (clapping) (lol)
pictures still pending will be picking her up 2marrow or monday!!!!!!

My 11 year old daughter showed a sunseeker heifer all summer. She was very upheaded in show ring but very good for her. But when someone else took halter coming out of ring she would get away evertime..but she is a beautiful heifer.
