Any luck getting any videos yet?

I was not there, but heard that they were all very satisfied with how it went.  I bought the Venture heifer out of Major Leroy's mother.

Here are Lot 10's two 2010 daughters.  The lighter colored one is her natural calf by The grove Kookaburra, the other is an ET daughter by Alta Cedar Ultimate 130K.  They are both January calves.

The Ontario Fall Classic shorthorn Sale is October 23.  The catalog is online at www.ontarioshorthorns.com.  Usually has good quality at very reasonable prices.  Our cow is Lot 10.  She is a WHR Sonny daughter born in 2005.  She is due in late Feb or early March to our herd bull SS Red Pride...

I was pretty sure the 8th picture was Kookaburra.  Here is a picture of one of my Kookaburra's.  I was really hoping he would have darkened the cow down a bit, but Andy visited the herd last year and I showed him this heifer's mother and he said Kookaburra could possibly throw a light roan...

Is the one bull Kookaburra?  I had three heifer calves by him this year.  They are pretty good calves.  The only draw back was that all three have a bit more white on them than their mothers

Maybe there are enough mistakes that we can say the results of this test are not 100% accurate.  What if rather than double test a bull for accuracy, you looked at the status of the bull and his parents.  In this case Sonny is not a carrier so the bull's dam must be.  If you are breeding carrier...

This same thing happened with a dairy sale my brother helped manage last spring.  They thought their guy was the final bidder on the embryos but the auctioneer had the bid from someone else.  They took full responsibility for the embryos not meeting the sellers floor price and the sale...

I too would be interested in the pedigree.  I didn't study the pictures really hard this morning.  My first impression was that he was a fairly thick calf and in decent condition. He had a nice round quarter from the side, lots of depth of body, and some hip from behind.  For everyone that is...

The Shorthorn results link is missing.  Going to http://www.royalfair.org/files/Shorthorn.pdf  should work.

Has anyone sent hair samples to Igenity for TH testing?  I sent 6 samples and only recieved results on 2.  Some people said it is hard to test for it with hair.  They said I must have sent poor samples, but they were as good as any hair samples I had sent away for anything else.  One of the...

I was not trying to imply anything, just passing on what they said.  The bull was born almost 14 years ago.  In Canada, we were told Tequila was running out of semen long before the whole TH thing was a big deal.  I do not even know if Manchesters marketed him or just bred him.  I am sure that...

I emailed Manchester's, they said he was not tested, but they had not heard of any defect calves by him.

Could someone tell me the TH and PHA status of ALM Tequila?  The list on the Shorthorn Association website has nothing beside his name.  Thanks.
