Upgrade, all the way! I have an awesome half blood out of him that we just love (we will see how she shows this season). He is more proven.  Several people I know saw American Pride at stud and said he did not look that good when they saw him in person. These are people who have been in the...

Not a problem, I hope that explains the situation somewhat.  I also forgot to mention that this bidders previous buying through sales was with another marketer and not with CW.  It is a shame that this sort of thing happens, but it certainly has nothing to do with the integrity of any of the...

I should have also added that the reason the bids were dropped was because this bidders previous bids were simply eliminated from the auction so that noone would have been bidding against his potentially phony bids.  The only reason they came down was so that it was fair for the people really...

The auction was suspended due to the fact that one buyer, that had never been there to see the cattle, and was known by noone associated with the sale continually was bidding on virtually all of the cattle, often bumping his own bid. After some research, this particular bidder has a very...

Thank you, with Maximum Exposure, that is always our goal.

The bull was slick sheared one week prior to pictures being taken, that is why he was pictured slick, to show off what he is.  It amazes me how some people analyze so many things into these pics instead of looking at the pic, if you can't see he is slick sheared, I guess I just don't know what...

For all of you thinking slick shear, you obviously have never been to one and see how easily and how quickly, and severly you can have calves sun burn, wind burn, and just plain be put in pain when you take the hair off of them, and it is very difficult to control, think again.

To be honest, I have no idea.  We wanted the cow and so therefore got the cow, I was told and don't remember.  He was a natural service sire the man who owned the cow at the time was running and I believe he came from Barry Wesner, but I am not sure.  She is really nice and I am really happy...

Here is the picture taken last week of American Prides mother.  She was brought straight in out of the pasture, hauled ten miles, slick sheared and the picture was taken.  She has been on no feed in the pic and is nursing a really nice little baldy heifer and keeping her in great shape.  I think...

Personally, I would never recommend an unproven bull for use on heifers, regardless.  I will say that Janssen's original thoughts on buying this bull included having him clean up their heifers.  It is my understanding that they have aied several to him as semen demand has made him stay at stud. ...

I appreciate the comments, like I said, he is not the answer to the breed problems, but he can fix a lot of problems.  As it is getting later in breeding season and the fact that he is extremely fertile and producing great quality semen in quantity, he will probably not be there more than...

To address some of the comments made about American Pride.  Here is my opinion for what it is worth.  He is not the answer to all of the problems in the Simmental breed and is not going to fix every cow, no bull can do that.  American Pride is very different and he will either be what you have...

Power and Balance semen is now available.  Due to a minor injury earlier in the year we have not had any available, but he is freezing now.  This semen is available for immediate release, just call myself or Jared Arthur and semen can be released for shipment.  We appreciate the inquiries and...

I can assure you he was alive and well yesterday at REI, I was there.

There is a really simple answer to this question, and it is one that I totally dis agree with.  Years ago, the re weigh was put into shows, I understand why it was put in, but it has also been in my own opinoin, one of the biggest detrements to the idea of the show steer becoming more like real...
