Wow I didn't realize how long I've been away from here.  Anyways its time for our Foundations Fullblood Maine Anjou Sale again and that means more pictures of fullblood bulls and heifers for you to look through.  www.foundationssale.com  You can let me know what you think.

I threw some coca cola semen in a couple cows just to experiment and the calves should be coming any day now.  I'll post some pictures for you when the time comes if you're interested

Is Yukon going to be at Denver this year? Might be heading down there and would like to see him in person.

-Thanks Knabe for posting the results for "The Maine Way" sale! -doc-sun, I like the pictures of Yukon! -Got a couple pictures of the heifers we showed at farmfair in Edmonton but couldn't figure out how to get them small enough for Steer Planet.  So if anyone wants to take a look they are...

From seeing them in person this is an awesome set of Maine animals.  I have never tested for TH or PHA so not sure on that point.  How do you go about testing that?  I'm still working on learning the business and how to do these things.  If she caught to CWC Zip 53Z I think that combination...

Does anyone have any information on Franco?  I got some semen on him and was told that he produces good heifer bulls but then I talked to another guy that said he doesn't.  Also what type of cow would he mate well with?  I only have two straws so I am thinking of putting them in a flush.

Thank you. I Agree, lot 10 is much easier fleshing and he had really good growth as shown by his ADG on test.  Would like to maybe cross the lot 1 and lot 10 lines to get a muscled, easy fleshing calf.  That lot 10 bull sold to a neighbor of mine who is a commercial breeder but I had a condition...

A big thank you to all of you for your interest and comments on our first bull sale. As expected lot 1 was the high seller and lot 10 was second highest.  Reg Renton bought lot 1 and is planning to draw him for export if anyone is interested. 

Ya its just when hes competing with Lot 10 who has a 38.5 cm scrotal size it makes you second guess him

I sometimes question the idea that smaller cattle=more efficient.  We are always looking to put the most pounds on an animal for the least amount of feed and Maine crosses seem to do that regardless of size.  This is particularly important since we feed out our own animals for meat.  Not sure...

The lots that were cut were due to scrotal size when we got them semen tested the other day.  The vet didn't feel we could guarantee them.  We will be keeping lot 21 around as a 2 year old to see if he matures and grows a pair.  Not sure if it has something to do with being a twin to a heifer??

I'm having my first bull sale this year (www.cwcmaines.com) and I have interest from Ohio and Texas.  Just wondering what I have to do to get the animals to qualify to go to those States? Thanks

About 4 inches shorter and 100 lbs lighter

Nice well rounded calf.  Good length and depth while still being feminine.

I would have liked to keep lot 1, 10 and 21.  However since this is our first sale I put everything in just to draw people and make it high caliber.  That is why I am reserving the right to draw semen on lots 1 and 10.  I have a full sister to lot 21 so thats how I'm keeping the genetics.  Lot...

Stenberg's Raphia II bull is no more so there are very limited offspring off of him.  CWC Zip comes out of MELS Benz who I bought out of their show string at Farmfair.  I really liked him when I showed against him in Red Deer and then again at Farmfair.  They gave me a really good deal on him...

My Dad always told me that the best type of cattle are the ones that you like.  If you like them enough you will be able to market them easily.  On that note we ran a feedlot for a number of years and had Maine/Angus cross calves that outperformed all the other animals and I really liked the way...

Saw the Palliser bull while he was still at Gary Graham's and had some offspring out of him in our feedlot.  I really liked him especially the length he put in the calves.
