all those usernames were from the same account.  I didn't know it was breaking the rules by changing user name, figured if it was- it wouldn't have been allowed by the system. Another one, let's not forget was 'another lying shorthorn breeder' Fight fire with fire.

still the best. use a different tip, I always start out with the fine, and after awhile, it turns it'self to coarse. Also keep them warm, and shook.  If I'm outside, put in a pocket close to the skin-- seems to work better. I tried a different brand once, wasn't anything better than a sharpie.

since, I'll be gone in less than 24 hours anyways, why hold anything back? I thought the one cow was pretty skinny, and that isn't a picture I would be promoting.. course, if I would quote Jamie correct, maybe it's because she put everything she had into her first calf... cheers

] big enough.

maybe shorthorns and clubbies should come backwards---  they slide out so much easier..  triangle, instead of a chunk of wood

Under a Char-- that is the ideal cross IMO for profit.

induced labor extra size, too much to turn into position twins

number of offspring born compared cow to sow...  probably x10?

This is a show cattle website, I thought only show cattle things were discussed.  I could care less about bision, I was comparing them (the conversation) to cattle, show cattle especially.  If you pump a show heifer full of feed, like most do, and don't calver her until later-  is she not...

Depends on how much it cost to get there...  Which is what some of us point out time after time....  yet, we get critized. 

If a cow doesn't calve until she's 4, but lives until she's 11-- what's more profitable- her or one that calves at 20 months and lives until she's 8 or 9???  It takes way more money to grow out out before she calves, than it does after she gets into production. 

This heard had 10 shipped last summer in the drough b/w 13 and 18 years.  The old girl was a sad day...   Oops, shouldn't have said that... I'm sure they were bred at 12-14 months of age.

Just have to know the genetics at hand. In the true linebreeding operations, they can tell you on day 1 if that animal is unique or herd builder status...  Too bad that the crossed up mongrels can't do that.  Personlly, one bull pops into my head as should have been a steer-- was actually...

atleast this person states him name, number, email, whatever contact info... and invites anyone to engage in conversation.. more than can be said about most other steerplanet people.. Who's hiding behind the screen name now?
