Probably too late, some in Rosebud's SCOnline sale today

I was there and feel like that is an apt statement.  Overall, I thought the clubby bulls were underwhelming, a lot of puds for sure.  I thought Chosen 1 was cool, and Wade had a couple that would work, but nothing that just really set anyone apart.  There was some solid purebred/maternal bulls...

It seems like a lot of producers here are talking about bigger calves, I would think largely due to the extra feed from all the cold/snow.  The other thing we are having trouble with is tiny calves.  Several producers here are having calves 3-4 weeks early based on AI date, with no bull...

Most of you have a lot better eye than I do, but here was my thoughts:  I also though PTO was excellent.  I'm not at all a red angus guy, but this was a quality bull.  Griswold's looked really good.  I thought Duello's Maine was real good, maybe not as freaky as his picture, but a good bull...

I’m not gonna pretend to be an expert.  Dabo was pretty freakish from a width/muscle standpoint, I just struggled with his rear legs.  Redneck to me may not have been as stout, but was the bull I would choose of the  two.  I don’t really plan to use either, and to be real honest, didn’t spend a...

My two cents, although it might not be worth that much.  I thought Rodgers had the best set of bulls there.  I preferred 1OAK to Fair and Square, but wouldn’t argue too hard if someone disagreed.  He seemed a little smoother throughout, and is TH/PHAF. Dragers Dabo bull was super wide, square...

The people that we originally started leasing cattle from owned K-Kim Payton.  He was a fairly good calving ease bull, that sired a Denver Champion bull, as well as the maternal grandsire to Lautner's Res. National Champ Maintainer at Kansas City a couple years ago.  As far as I know they still...

Thank You

Any results? Especially lots 4 and 5.

Where at in western Kansas?  There is a lady we use that would travel the western 1/3 of the state, say Hays west.  You can PM if you prefer.

What would you guess the average, as well as the high and low selling heifers were?

We have a bull we are leasing and it appears that his testicles have been sunburned. It developed over the course of a couple weeks and does not seem to be getting any better. There is no hair on the lower  two thirds of his scrotum but seems to have hair everywhere else on his body. The skin on...

All reds are homozygous red, since it is the recessive gene they have to have two copies of the red gene for it to show.  I'm no genetics expert, but I'm pretty sure your black cows have to be Hetero for black and pass on the recessive red gene to get a red calf.  I know even less about the...

Ours is $4 dry and $5 per day with calf.

Anyone have a sale report?
