There are plenty of people that will market a true stud. Do you have one? Do you know what one is or looks like at 30 days old? There are thousands of commonly good calves out there. If you want Tracy or Wade or the like to come look you better have a rip. And if you call them and they come out...

The bumper on that stumper third from left is impressive... If that thing was furred up and clipped... Yikes... Mark, I know your type and i like em too. Problem is that hard body cutability look is no longer desired and for good reason. I bred for huge butted, shaped top, cool profiling...

For ANY bull 7 years old is a Methuselah... Most commercial guys I know pound out bulls by the time they are 5 due to diminishing libido, being a pain in the butt to maintain (even the pets dont chase for shat and go wherever they want to whenever they want to) and becoming "cowshmoosher" type...

(snicker snicker tee hee...) Just to be clear, Wade Rogers is a friend of mine and I am not laughing at the loss of a tremendous industry leading bull. But Dognabitt knabe... (tee hee snicker....)

I give up... I was trying to put that picture of that red bull in profile in my message and I am not getting it done... That being said... what do commercial people want their bull to look like? They want a bull like THAT. Not a cat butt Bismark or a Gelbvieh fronted weak topped bull. They...

not to hijack the esteemed librarians thread but I have long pondered why the Luing has not showed its presence in the contemporary show calf genre... My experience with Lincoln Reds was positive... I had two cows out of Green Row Everlawn (or everready? Green row sumthin...) and they were...

Its a picture. But from that picture, I see a beast that is a commercially relevant working mans bull with a show cattle profile. like him or hate him, JPJ was a different twist with old genetics. Maybe a stout red neck roan with Gary's linebreeding could be could be the ticket on stuff n...

lol i now see joe burns has a breaking dunk sale going on right now on show circuit.... Guess i put out the right name a t least...

All donkeys are capable of breaking calves to lead. The problem is figuring out which ones are mean to the calves. IE bite, kick, etc. Ever heard the term stubborn Azz? The inherent trait of being stubborn makes dunkers calf breakers. Call Joe Burns in Iowa if you want a breaker dunk. I think he...

Librarian: thank you for your condolences. He was ready to go home. I miss him of course but I take great consolation in that I got to spend sincere quality time with him at the end and nearly a hundred years is plenty for anyone. Xbar: yep. thats a purple roan. You saw it out of Maine...

librarian is that Clipper King of Bapton you have pictured????? My first question is why the heck would I know that second is where the heck did you find a picture of him????

i didnt read GoWyo posted but basically, yeah, what they said....

first of all what are your calves? You cant grow hair on a Santa Gertudis even if your cooler is running -50. from what i gather your set up is, if you have two cheap window units rolling and turn the calves out at night, rinse morning and night, you will have all the hair you can handle...

firestorm is a purple roan. the heifer pictured above him is too. the last one is a strawberry roan. the red bull pictured is what it think of as a dark shorthorn red as aposed to a red angus red or a limi red or any other breed red.I guarantee Lonny, Grant, RN Reed etc could pick a red...

my dad (oldhorn) who passed last October had quite a few "purple roans" over the years and his cow herd was heavy with Hultine and Haumont breeding. I really hadnt thought of it until the Librarian brought it up but you just dont see that deep, purplish roan anymore do you....?
