He is extremely sound. That's why I like him. He's good hipped and really cool fronted buy I'm really particular about feet and legs and structural soundness and he was the best one I found. As far as frame I don't know. I think he will add frame as he is only an April baby but I couldn't tell...

Thank you. Like I said, lots of nice cattle I just really got along with this guy. Helps to buy from good people too. His ASA # is 3332818. He is a TL Bottomline out of a HOC Broker cow. Not the best numbers in the world but super good phenotype.

Hello, I was able to go through the Denver bulls and there was a lot of good stuff there. My partner and I were actually looking for a really great PB simmental bull. I looked through every pen and was impressed by the quality. However, I'm pretty particular about foot and leg quality and...

What is the reg number of the 2nd cow down on your first post please?

Harold Miller with 7 triangle 7. He's taught well over 5000 people to A.I. And still puts on one of the best schools.

A year late but he looks good. How did he do and how was he bred?

JTM is right though. How many guys out there are buying only F1 replacement heifers? It's not happening on a large scale. The only thing I will say is that as sexed semen gets better on conception I could see more of this being done. The funny thing is when that happens terminal cattle will...

I can't speak for Accelerated but I know with the Genex Pregcheck it is based on breeding a done within dairy herds. They have tracked conception with a data based index you can find in the catalog. It only pertains to the Bulls ability to get cows bred through a I. There is no correlation to...

I think the consistency goes back to which animals you are crossing. If you F1 female is OCC x line 1 Hereford and then you put an Eaton bull on them then you could have both consistency and maximum heterosis. I will say there is diminished heterosis using the Simangus and Lim flex. However, get...

Hands down I would recommend looking at TJS red angus. Awesome people and great cattle. Blairs and SSS have always intrigued but I have never seen their operations in person. Same with Arrowsmith but I would bet they are much closer to you.

Why don't you like switching? If you like you can keep the developer but you need to start adding straight corn into his diet. More starch = More finish

I like the looks of him. Seems to be some nice cattle out of him. Haven't seen anything though so I can't recommend him personally.

Here is a bred heifer that we bought this fall. I really like how broody she is and good structured. I was kind of a nay sayer about him early on because of the extreme calving ease deal etc. I had a chance to see him this fall and he is an absolute stud. Excellent rib, thick, good footed and...

I'm sorry but I dislike the ASA website. Maybe I just don't have any patience... Could someone please describe what the requirements for appendix shorthorn classes are? Also, what seems to be more marketable, purebred or appendix heifers and steers?

I am completely shorthorn illiterate but I do know that the epd they have should be directly comparable to red angus. Please post bigger picture and asa # and I think I should be able to fumble my way around from there. On the CEM discussion... one of my absolute favorite bulls in the red angus...

completely off subject librarian but I like that bull you have in your avatar. Is he yours?

I have been around a lot of people who used to pelvic a lot of replacements. Then after so many years they realized they were mostly getting rid of the smaller animals anyway. I help A.I. on a lot of large commercial ranches and anymore we just tell them if they are to small pelvis and they cut...

I'm looking for a hard or digital copy of this book or other Jan Bonsma literature. If you know of any it would be greatly appreciated to point me in the right direction.

One thing to distinguish is sales vs private treaty. We have had females for sale pt and the buyer wanted to pay a little less and have us keep half embryo interest. So it's not just the seller demanding the half option.

I think that is good advice Okotoks and I'm not denying that there are red angus lines (probably more breeder lines if you want to be specific) that are not good about selecting for disposition. Having said that, I raise reg. red angus and absolutely love the disposition. I am a stickler as I...
