That Titan heifer is really growing up nicely. Very well made heifer. It'll be interested to see what frame score and mature weight she gets to, I think Shaker and Burwash on the bottom side will complement Titan quite well. Look forward to watching her grow up!
Diamond Cutter is a remarkable...
Thanks Grant. I couldn't agree more about the benefits that embryo transfer can have in a herd! In my case, the reasonable price of a few embryos has established a fantastic cow family in my herd and I'm really looking forward to the future of my Sparkle line!
I think that this Yesterday bull...
Sparkle 1C's udder nursing at 5.5 months. Nice tidy udder, reasonably sized teats, good attachment.
2E at about 7.5 months old. 205d WW was 665lbs.
1C and 2E at Manitoba Ag Ex a couple of weeks ago. He weighed 816lbs at 258d. She was reserve champion 2 year old to the eventual grand...
Thought I'd add some recent input to my old topic. Let me know what you all think of the bull calf and how the young cow is progressing.
The roan ET heifer has had a pretty exciting couple of years for us. From her 681lb 205d WW, 1021lb YW, settling to her first AI, calving at 2 years and 2...
This bull is for sale this spring, if anyone is looking for a mature 5 year old bull to get out and breed a bunch of cows! Recently passed a semen test and is in optimal breeding condition.
Only selling due to high number of daughters working in our purebred and commercial herds now.
First...
I have been walking a Pioneer son of one these Mission daughters (RT Jackie 101s) for a couple years now. His first daughters just calved this spring and they have beautiful udders. Great attachment, small uniform teats, with lots of milk. These heifers are a cross section of genetics from many...
Here is the Primo x Sparkle bull calf all cleaned up for his sale picture a couple weeks ago. He had an adjusted 205d WW of 701lbs and is easily on pace for a 1200-1300lb YW on a slow growth high protein pelleted ration. Will be semen testing in a couple of weeks.
He is still incredibly...
Sounds like it could be a cerebellum issue to me. There is known congenital cerebellum issues in angus, shorthorn, and holsteins, but can also be associated with BVD infection when the cow is pregnant. Always a chance of one-off congenital issues in any breed. If it is a brain issue like that...
Poplar Park recently got back a decent stash of 4R semen. I AI'd a few to him, and a few more to a son- JT Titan 3T for them this spring. Be interesting to see those calves next year!
She got a few mouth fulls (maybe 2-3lbs) of calf starter ration per day in July when I was showing, mostly just to keep her looking full. No creep in pasture or anything. In that pasture pic it's been almost 2 weeks since she's seen any grain and 3 days with no milk (unless she's one of the few...
