I've heard that the folks up in Canada feed their cattle a lot of grain. I know that with all the snow, it's necessary to feed, but it seems to me like a more moderate framed cow would eat less feed. Why do ya'll like those bigger cattle?
Thanks. I'll tell him that. He amazes me all the time. I'm learning all the time from him.
If this was directed at me, he has reservations about most Canadian cattle. He is very selective in his breeding.
I'll get back to you.
Thanks for the warning. :)
I agree that Prairie Blizzard was one of the great ones that was underused. We have some semen on him we plan on using, and I think there is some in Canada.
Anyone have a picture of Loustic? Don't know much about him.
Great thread!
We have some old semen on a bull named RBBW. I'm not sure if it's a typo or there was an actual bull with a name that similar. Maybe he's a son.
They aren't my cows. I work with McCulloch Cattle Company because I'm a grandson of the owners. ;D
We used to have a bull named Mr. Triple L Crown out of Cunia. Quite a few cattle trace back to him.
Next was Jim Dandy out of Stud Muffin. Quite a few of our cows are his daughters. We are using...
