Hi,  Just an FYI, I am in SE MN and we have a small herd of Shorthorns. We currently have 7 heifer calves of which one is sold and 2 we are keeping. Therefore we do have 4 available that I think are of good quality for show or as brood cows. We are asking 1600 for choice. I don't have the space...

Sue,  Thanks for the reply. We are semen shareholders of Cabrera as well and are getting ready to A.I. our heifers and some cows in July but wanted to know if I can feel ok breeding him to the heifers. His EPDs are great but just wanted to hear some experience before going ahead. Thanks again!!

Just checking to see if anyone has any photos/info of Little Cedar Cabrera calves yet? Heifer safe like his EPDs show or not? Thanks much!!

Anyone feel comfortable breeding Cabrera to heifers, any calves out of him yet? Should we wait a bit to see his calf sizes? Thanks much!

I know we are getting a package and we have a small 15-20 cow herd as well. I have liked this bull since he was sold and wish we had put in a bid at that time but this is the next best thing. I am looking forward to A.I.ing several of our heifers this summer to him (from the sounds of it he...

We used M.T.G last year on our heifers and the ringworm was gone within days and hair growth within a week to 10 days. It has a mineral oil consistency that you rub directly on (with rubber gloves on of course). The scabs come off immediately. We got it from ValleyVet.com but it may be available...

What did the Lot 5 bull - JA Commotion 2 go for? Thanks.

Would love anyone's opinions on some of our April born calves! Photos at:  nextgenerationfarms.com Much appreciated.

Shooter4,  Not sure the breed you are looking for or where you are located but we do have a couple sure fire calving ease bulls available. They are PB Shorthorns out of a Saskvalley Bonanza son (x excellent Rider Eagle daughter). Both are very docile and easy to work with. One is a roan May...

Kibler, don't know if you checked 135 out on our site (nextgenerationfarms.com) or not but I think he is an impressive bull. Our photo is of him on pasture at the end of breeding season with about 15-20 heifers at Frank's place. His first calves are due this spring so don't have anything on them...

Found the Summit Catalog online. Google:  2013 The Summit shorthorn sale             First link at top is Facebook.com         Click on it, it will take you to Shorthorn.org facebook site, click on the link to the catalog.           it's on page A-13 bottom, B/W photo of him. Might be others...

there was a pic of him in the Summit catalog for January's sale at Denver as some semen was sold by the Kaehlers along with some Creole semen. If  you can find it online somewhere you will be able to see the pic. We used Homedale Creole 135 (out of a Defender daughter) by A.I. and natural...

Yes, thank you both for the posts!!  I agree on 11 and 12. From the photos, video and scan numbers those were my favorite 2 as well (especially 11). If we hadn't just purchased a Pioneer son for this season those would have been 2 we would have been interested in and within what we would have...

Hey JIT,  (off topic here, please excuse) hope your sale went well, results?? will be using a Pioneer/MaxRosa son the next 2 seasons now but looking forward to some RockStar sons in the future. Have emailed you before about him and can't wait to see his progeny. Let me know what you think of our...

Just looking for results of today's Sun Country bull sale. Some real nice bulls there I thought and curious to see how they went. Thanks.
