Anyone want to see some calves sired by angus bull abangomere eston b. 1962?

Who wouldn't want to see them?

bull on left, heifer on right.

there's other calves.  some others are out of coalbridge marshall 15, yes name maintained from earl marshall

here's some older angus genetics for sale.

Knabe do you have them running with any modern day Angus genetics ? How do they compare size and weight wise ? I have some Happyvalley Black Jumbo x Pure Canadian embryos to go in.

Thanks Mark. Very good complete looking pair of calves.

They're not mine.   Semen was used on lines containing eston and Marshall and older Canadian genetics.

Ii would assume larger bw's. They are after a type, volume, and may or may not be heavily quartered though i have seen some that are  

I think the bull calf displays it. The heifer looks really smooth topped.

In general they will be heavier than they look. What they perform like I have no idea.

Paramount ambush has eston in him but I think he's a little stretchy for what they are after.

I think jumbo semen is for sale in the catalog or a son. Can't remember.

Check the link.

Here's the dam of the calves.

This picture was taken when the calves were two months old.

Welcome to sp ss

All u angus people have an excellent historical reference in "back to basics"

I'm sure he'd be pretty happy to answer any questions.

Has anyone seen pictures of these cattle lately? Would like to see how they turned out?

by the way, the entire contents of 5barx was lost, so there are no posts at all.


only an internet way back archive will have them.

you might be interested in this catalog.

it's still downloadable.

Neat calves. Just on the topic of older Angus genetics, I’ve always had a lot of interest in Wye Angus. Yesterday when I was doing research on myostatin mutations, I ran into this. http://www.angus.org/Pub/DefectsAnmList.aspx?def=CAAAAKAWC%2fWI3tcZJ3aN7uqabpQ%3d&car=BgAAAK5Q0D8%2b90xmLBMJB9TqTUw%3d
Pittman of Wye goes right to the roots of the Wye program, top and bottom. The heading DMC seems to include multiple variants of myostatin mutations. How could one identify the particular variant in an individual.
The other carriers are very interesting, also.

The variants are listed in test results.
