One of my favorites is "know it all know nothing" My mother-n-law told me that one time and always thought of it as an old wives tale.. I have kept heifers from first calf heifers and everything seems fine to me.

The devastation here is just brutal and what makes it so bad is that so many areas have been touched. One of my daughters lives in Corpus (in the beef business) and got out Thursday. She went back Monday and had no issues. The Port A, Aransas Pass and Rockport/Fulton area was total carnage...

wow, those numbers are all over the board. That 120 scares the hell out of me.

So I ask this not being a smartass but just trying to understand... Why is Meyer Ranch 734 considered to be a great cow maker? I know most on here are not EPD folks, but his, with a 95+% accuracy, would not suggest that. Bottom 5% for API, bottom 1% for MCE and CE. STAY is top 10% but why so...

Had a guy tell me once that the heat/drought will effect the bull and that could cause more bull calves. I have a cow that I would love a heifer from have 4 straight bull calves.

You sure that is not a pic of a Border Collie puppy?

Uno Mas had/has some heifer sexed semen.

Thanks.. Where would I find your site ZNT?

So I am just trying to learn more about this side of the business, so please don't take anything personal. We have a small herd, 35+/- commercial cows with 2 Simbrah bulls..have been thrilled and working on improving the makeup of the herd, starting to mix in some Simmi bulls on AI. etc.. We...

So is there a place you can see these bulls (like Texas Twister) and the many others when they are older and don't look like they stuck their big toe in an electrical outlet? 99.999% of the pics on these club calve sites, these bulls like like they are 4 or 5 months old.. Show me some that are...

Well based on the man that bought you know he is going to use him to make 3/4 Simbrahs...of course simbrah.com is his web site. I know there is more to it than EPD's but this bulls #'s would not work for me.

LN, those are some great EPD's on that bull. Congrats.

would like to see what some of those calves would like like after standing in the rain for about an hour.

Up to the part where you said Limo bull, it sounded like exactly what happened to me and my wife. The father-n-law had a Beefmaster on the BF cows and we sold him and sold a few of the real old cows. Got a solid black 3/4 x 1/4 Simbrah bull and now have 14 new ones on the ground and we are...

Had a Simbravieh heifer AI'd this same way this week.
