If you are behing I would suggest the Barley Base. Been feeding Umberger for 3 years now and really like it.  Cattle all seem to love the feed its real palatable.  I just feed heifers but the Barley base seems to get them fatter a little quicker without making them patchy and blowing out the...

Interesting discussion here, I can relate to alot of posts. I had a black nosed heifer by Deerpark Improver but I always thought the black nose came from Clark her MGS.  I thought she was really great, when my Grandpa saw her all he could say was she had a black nose. When I pressed the issue...

I get mine from Jim Bessler in Illinois. Never had a claim but seems to be a real nice guy. http://www.jamesfbessler.com/

My daughter has showed under Mr. Johnson at the National Junior Angus Show this past July.  He had an associate place the bottom 5-7 heifers while he was placing the 5-7 he initially sorted.  One of our heifers did better than we had hoped for and one did worse.  Irregardless of our "hopes" I...

Dameron First Class brought $3500/straw in two Denver sales.

Hey Bryan good to see you made the trip over here to SP from NAT.  Sent you an e-mail with some info. Jeff

Wright's from WV they also bought another top seller.

Nope, only have four registered Angus females at this point.  Just think he is a pretty good bull.

This is bringing back some memories.  The last shortie I showed competed against 549.

 punch in his AAA number on the Angus web Page for his Epds. He is about a 3.6 for BW but should trend a little lower over time. He is not near as big as his sister either.  Really sound, correct and balanced: with tremendous thickness and style.

  I saw one of his sons Off Road this summer,. And I must say that the breed needs some outcross influence like this.http://www.cattlevisions.com/Shorthorn/OffRoad.php

might try this bull he is really good.  http://www.cattlevisions.com/Angus/firstngoal.php

Our feeder calves topped the market when sold last december and half of them were sired by a flushmate to the ROV Embryo Dam of the Year for last year in the Angus breed. So I think it is possible to do both. Not common but not out of the question either. The calf sale was not a fluke as we have...

It's my personal opinion that some calves are just plain stupid.  I've had large calves with large framed mothers have trouble finding the tit. Seems like the harder you try to help them the more they fight. I would stick with breeding cattle that appeal to you  it will all work out in the end.
