    I deeply apologize for the connotation of this post, i did not mean to direct this towards any individual buyer or seller. I was simply trying to justify as to why but that is no excuse for what I stated. sorry for my narrow mindedness. Tucker Troidl

    Some Shorty Bulls

    Thanks for the reply, i was thinking of giving dixon farms a call. Have you used the bull much yourself? His pedigree is a little different and find his sire to be quite impressive.

    Some Shorty Bulls

    Canada vs U.S. Shorthorn purity

    Just curious, what breed were the Irish "shorthorns" that were brought over, I thought I read somewhere on SP that there was some Galloway infusion in the past during one of the  world wars but I thought those still consisted of mainly high percentage shorthorns.

    Canada vs U.S. Shorthorn purity

    Why does the CSA not consider full blood Maines 3/4 shorthorns like the ASA? I was considering purchasing a heifer by Red Reward, but when I checked her percentage with the CSA they told me she is only considered 65.4% shorthorn. Where as with the American shorthorn association she is considered...

    What do ya think? (just weaned)

    that is a tough mountain to climb, I showed a heifer this past show season, she was born april 17 and she just couldn't quite compete with those older heifers. I ended up pushing her a little to hard and now i kind of regret it. Your heifer looks good though.

    Club Calf bulls

    Do you know how long this offer is on for, I am guessing they are trying to sell old semen and I like to get a few straws of hannibal in the tank.

    Club Calf bulls

    Willow springs, I am guessing you are from Canada because all of those bulls are amongst the few that abs Canada carries for clubbies. If I were you I would take a look at what Semex, genex, and competitive edge has to offer, I think that they have a lot more to offer if you are looking to raise...

    Extra Special

    I totally agree, The dam is the foundation in which each bull is built from. That's why I think all of these bull promoters should be held more accountable. The clubby industry would prosper more if we avoided these simple lies. Pedigree info, birth weights and date of birth should all be...

    Extra Special

    In my opinion it simply comes down to marketing. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these mystery donors have pedigrees stacked with club calf and linebred heateaker genetics. Anyone that has bred a large number of heavily crossbred clubby bulls knows that the consistency just isn't there and...

    My turn

    Just curious as to why this bull isn't used much anymore. If he was available up north I would be willing to give him a try.

    Extra Special

    Do you know the lineage on his breeding, does the maine in his pedigree go back to bulls like pistol Pete, power plant, polled energizer, polleroid, ice pick or is he a total outcross?

    Is this bull from rodgers registered with AMAA, I would like to see the extended pedigree on this guy.

    feeding barley

    As stated previously nearly all of the show rations up here in canada are barley based. Barley is a little higher in protein and and fiber than corn subsequently it contains slightly less energy than corn. I am sure you could tweek aaok's ration to make it barley based. The upside of a feed...
