We don't know where she came from we. The guy we got her from a guy that raises feeder calves. He got her in a load of calves and a lady that works for him said when she saw her she knew she wasn't a run of the mill beef calf she just had a different presence to her than the run of the mill that...

We have a heifer that we will be breeding this coming spring, she's not extremely straight in her hocks but she's straighter than I'd like her to be. She's a first for us so I'm looking for a bull that is let's say soft jointed and has some set to his legs or is more know to put set in his...

So you say his feet aren't the greatest? That's the kind of info I need to know thank you. So need to make sure the cows have great feet to help make sure he doesn't weakin them further?

Thanks I've seen the select sires page. Just curious on any additional info I could find on him, others imputs etc.

Curious of what you guys think of this bull. Anyone used him? Would live to see calves that anyone may have. Thinking about breeding my 3yr olds to him.

We have a couple of females that have all the right lines but maybe they aren't as soft as I'd like, they look a touch hard in thier apperence do you thing he will help with that? I also saw where you think he's a bit larger framed I think that is good cause we do have some females that are...

Considering using this guys on a few 2 year old cows. What's y'all's thoughts on him? What's his pros and cons. Would love to see some calves if anyone has any by him.

We are trying to build our herd so any heifers worth keeping g as future cows that's what we are going for. Sell all the bull calves.

We have one smaller cow she's around 1100lbs. Most of our mamas are around 1300 give or take 100lbs

So forgive me I'm trying to learn and understand epds more and more, everytime I talk with someone about them I always take away some new. I have a decent understanding and how they work. So to get to the meat and potatoes of what I'm asking is I look at these bulls  such as Dameron First...

Some updated pictures of our heifer. Turned a year old back in September. Weighed 1050

We feed it to our show calves. We only have 8 head 3 show heifers soon to be bred this December and we feed it to our 5 Mama's to save on cost of buying two different feeds. The feed breaks down to about .18 to .20 cent per pound.

I know this feed is old but I'm looking for someone to evaluate our feed ration and tell us what we need to change in it to make it give us more gain in our cattle.

We really haven't pushed for hair yet here in the mid-ga heat cause we aren't really set up yet to house our show calves in a barn under fans so our show calves run out in a big lot close to the house and have to deal with the heat. But as soon as our temps drop out of the 80's and upper 70's we...

So tell them we want to up the energy. Ask them to lessen the soy hulls and increase corn? That's gonna get us where the ration works better for us?
