Fair cattle is having their steer sale oct 12th on breedersworld. That might be the best chance yet to see lucky calves. I loved him in denver and wondered why he got no traction. He looks pretty good as a mature also. They are on facebook.

He gone. They sent him to kill after the third positive test. Bull was a good producer and they had plenty of inventory. Might as well sell the semen when there is still a market for it and the bull is still relevent.

She seems to be doing a good job!  Both she and her calf look happy and full.

I have  contacted my publisher and we have already starting printing volume one of a 30 volume set of rules, guidelines, general musings and light suggestions on how to hurt feelings of producers. I hope we can make it affordable for all using public auctions like cw or breedersworld and such...

Cold hearted truth here, there are two clones and likely a cell line established, terminal gentics by there very nature are....dare I say short term? Eeeeek!  He works really well on some cows and not so much on others, personally I like the calves I have so far. Yes they are quiet and easy to...

Should be calves on the ground out of Lucky....any news yet.

I have always said you would be suprised how many great ones are hiding on joe blows back forty covering 20 cows a year. They dont all get clipped, pictured or even looked at.

Playing devils advocate I have to ask why is it important? Do show steers really represent any aspect of the cattle industry that is relevent to the consumer standpoint? Unless you visit this website and a handfull of blogs I would say likely not. If breed associations were really serious about...

In short, stop keeping replacements out of clubby bulls. Longer answer use bulls that are PROVEN to make good functional females. This method may.....dare I say.....involve not using the new popular and quite unproven bull.

https://webapps.crinet.com/softslate/do/category/ST Genex has the xc20 listed at $535. Much cheaper than sementanks.com. They also have breeding supplies.

Maybe I have the unpopular opinion here but blame it on genetics, the owners, bull promoters I honestly could care less. Ring or no ring its the call of the showman. Some calves are quite good but born with an attitude that is quite bad. We are arguing about an industry that puts glue and paint...

Honestly I saw it and though to myself, sounds about right. When these tricks get played its like when a politician is caught lying....do you fein suprise? Nope you shrug and read between the lines. Personally I loved italian stallion at denver and am going to use him. I dont sell many show...
