IMO this is the most intelligent statement I have ever seen posted on this website. (clapping) (clapping) (clapping)

Interesting thread.  There has been a lot of discussion about where it came from.  That's fine.  But I keep thinking about the future.  Where do we go from here?  I get the impression that some people are deathly afraid of the myostatin gene (maybe I am wrong but that is what I think).  Here are...

Here is a quotes from medium rare. "If you start turning in cow weights at weaning, you'll be one of the very few of any breed. It seems that no one wants to admit how big their cows are. You may be right.  But some purebred breeders run their cows like a commercial herd.  Most commercial...

By the way Phillse, I think we should focus on option 2 as well.

If I am reading the information correctly the calves were born in September and weaned at about 150 days with no creep.  I have not done the math but I think the steers should end up with an adjusted 205 day weight of around 600 lbs.  If this is correct, then it is up to everyone to decide for...

That was a very interesting video.  Thanks for posting it.

I have never had 639 pounds of saleable meat from a 806 pound carcass.  The numbers produced by the beef cut out calculator were in the ballpark.

I believe this statement to be true and I am not trying to argue, but 2 things crossed my mind when I read this statement.  1) I am pretty sure that most of the NCBA's membership is in the states, and 2) if you were to survey commercial cattlemen in Canada most would use a number higher than 90...

The term high is a relative term.  What is high to one person may not be high to another person.  I believe in the 7% rule.  A cow should be able to calve a calf that is 7% of her body weight without assistance.  The average size of our cows is probably between 1400 and 1500 pounds.  I will let...

If a second year of trials take place and there is enough notice count us in!

I don't know all of the details.  I only know what I have read here on steer planet and what was sent out in the email.  From what I understand this sound like a fantastic opportunity for the breed.  We would gladly apply to take part in this study if we had semen available from a bull that...

excellent point librarian. the following is a statement from our website "How big is big enough and when do our cattle get too big?  These are questions that have been debated by a lot of producers in the last few years. The simple answer is that your cattle should be as big as the FORAGE...

There is one lot of four embryos in our bulls sale.  Lot 27. http://www.saskvalleyshorthorns.com/bullsale.html

Most of the sale bull videos are now up on you tube.  Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/user/whosyourdaddybull

Saskvalley Ramrod semen is available in the U.S. Wiseguy; Imperative looks good.  So do his sons.  We have lots full sibling embryos in the tank and 2 full brothers in the yearling pen.  Most likely one or both of them will be in the sale next year.  We walked 3 Ramrod sons and one Ramrod...

Weaning weights are important to a degree.  For example; I would rather have a cow that weans 45% of her body weight stays in good condition on forage alone and does this every 365 days for 12 years than have a cow that weans 50% of her body weight and REQUIRES grain or other high priced...

Really good article.  Thanks for posting. A couple things I would like to add.  It talks about mature cows size and when we discuss this we all talk about specific weights.  I would like to think that most of us realize that what is the ideal mature weight for our cows will probably not be the...
