Indeed, fascinating to think of traditional fencing being an obsolete cost of doing business.

Thanks, Joshua.  That was beneficial and was what I have learned in the past so it was nice to have that reinforced.  Here's a question, why are you supposed to "please be careful" and "be wise" in its use and application?  What are some signs of concern that you should look for if trying to...

Hard Whiskey is great in the right application.  Use him on moderate framed, soggy cows. He will provide the bone, mass and style.

Curious about what else you found.  Care to share?

Without going into a lot of detail, you are feeding a very high fiber diet (23%).  I assume that includes the soybean meal and cottenseed meal you mentioned.  If not, then you or I neither one know exactly what you are feeding.  Find out first, but at first glance I would reduce the fiber down...

I don't intend to hi-jack the thread but some of you sound like you may have some knowledge of Resource.  I'm interested in using him and would like to know where he fits in terms of what he nicks best with.  Any particular pedigrees he seems to really work well on?  What type of cow crosses...

OCC Anchor, while providing considerable value in other areas, will not provide any frame enhancement.  He will moderate frame size, as will most similar bred OCC cattle.

I am interested in Slider as well.  I am wanting to know what Angus bloodlines seem to cross well with him?  Does he down size frame on bigger cows?  What happens when used on moderate cows?  Does he improve an average cow?  What traits does he improve and what does he not?  Not looking for...

Tell me more about HB Guyman, CAB.  He is already on my short list to use this spring.  Is he deep bodied enough for today's trend?  How big is he, estimated frame score?  How thick is he?  By the way, I agree with you about Harley, I was the one that brought him up on this thread.

There isn't much info out there about him that I can find.  I sent an email to Bushy Park asking for a little more information but haven't got any response.  From his pedigree, I would suggest that he probably isn't going to be a sure fire calving ease bull.  But as far as phenotype he was...

I agree that the picture leaves much to be desired.  Apparently, he isn't as bad as it looks because he was division champion up on the hill.  I'm not a Hereford breeder but I thought Harley was just a real attractive bull.  He has a little more flash than your typical 2 year old Hereford.  I...

Looking for info on the Angus bull from Bushy Park called Timber Creek.  He really hit me hard.  Also, loved the Simmi bull from Minnaert out of Bandwagon called Crowd Pleaser.  He also had a really good 2 year old Hereford bull named Harley.  I think he was Sullivan bred.  Any thoughts on any...

Curious about trying this versus our usual routine.  Can you utilize alfalfa cubes rather than hay to gain fill?  What about their stools?  Will we need to re-adjust their diet to compensate for the extra protein?

Anybody use or have an opinion on the 2012 Angus bull from Kellers' named Pistol?

Has anyone used spelt in their show rations?  If so, what does it replace and what are you trying to accomplish by feeding it.  Thanks in advance for any advice.
