Firstly how old is she, and is she small framed? The Bojo's that we have are very small framed cattle, are you wanting to stay with a maine sire or something else, and are you looking for steers or heifers? As a heifer we bred to Gucci and had a nice quality heifer calf. The same Bojo cow...
I like watching the ring men at sales pulling bids, some of them don't hid it very well. I was at a supposed reputable sale once and bid on a cow, I was the second person to bid and next thing you know the bid past me buy a $1000 and they sold and looked at me for my number and I told them I...
I was looking at the results on Top Sires semen sale on Breeders World and they sold I Believe semen for $70 when it is listed in their catalogue for $30, and the same goes for Man Amongst Boys it always seems to bring in the mid $40's and you buy it for $35. It baffles me why people over pay...
What gets me will all the gun control laws is that there is no common sense used in any of these decisions. Most people who commit crime don't buy their guns legally. The only people that get punished are the law abiding citizens, and they want to limit the number of rounds in a clip, really...
That is because Witch Doctor is a 1992 model bull, there are alot of cattle out there that go back to him. It might just be time to bring some of those older genetic's back.
That would mean birth date, and birth weight are wrong and the sire and dam are switched. I really like the look of direct whiskey and I like his pedigree but I would like to know which is right the add or the papers, (I would assume the papers are right), if his registered name is NDSC MT...
If she hasn't thrown a good calf yet then breed her to something totally different than you have bred her to in the past. Not every bull is going to click with every cow, so find something you like that is different than what you have bred to in the past and take a chance. If she doesn't throw...
I went to the Maine Association's web site to look up Direct Whiskey and didn't find anything I even used the registration number off of the add and it brought up a bull that was out of Direct Hit and an Irish Whiskey daughter. I used Gucci this past year on a Bojo heifer and had a 77 pound...
This is our heifer ration we have used for years. It is designed to be feed at 2% of body weight but it depends on your cattle, you might have to back off a little for easy feeders, I also add more beet pulp and cotton seed hulls to this for a holding ration.
Amounts are figured per ton

This is our show heifer feed ration, we normally feed depth charge along with this when we get about two months from our first show. We feed at 2% of body weight, and I will add more beep pulp and cotton seed hulls to this ration to use it as a holding ration once our goal body condition and...
I'm planning on breeding a couple to him this year, everything that I've seen out of him looks good to me. It will be interesting to see how Lautners bull Read 2 Rumble turns out, I think his pedigree is an interesting mix with his dam being by Nagel Wide Track.
To me especially at a major show every calf that walks in that ring should get a true evaluation, meaning the judge should take the time to look at every calf from the front to the side to the back and on the move. More than likely every calf that comes in there is a decent calf, maybe not a...
In my opinion I think Paddy O'Mally would add frame, I haven't see any dumpy calves out him, not saying there isn't any out there. From what I know out him he isn't a moderate frame bull, and not a monster either just a decent sized bull.
