I would highly recommend NDSU. Excellent University and Animal Science program. They also have a shorthorn herd there. The American Shorthorn Association Executive Secretary, Dr. Bert Moore, is a former Professor of Animal Science at NDSU.  I'm sure that Bert would be a good source to answer...

Solid looking set of bulls you have there. Looks like Wentworth could have some of the muscling that his G. Grandsire had, RB Eagle 255.

Herbourne Grand Duke is the Duke of Dublin son I was commenting about earlier. If this is the bull I am thinking about, I was at the Douglas Test Station sale in 1985 to see this bull. I don't remember exactly what his rate of gain was, but it was really good. The bull was purchased by Harvey...

Did the high selling bull also have in his ancestry a Duke of Dublin son that was the high seller and high gainer back in 1985?

I would guess 100#+, white, polled bull selling to a commercial producer with black cows?

The Leadeer 21 bull was purchased by Bob Gordon at the Polled Congress sale in March 1963. The bull was leased to American Breeders Sevice (ABS) and they sold 140,000 ampules of semen on him over a 10 year period. I am sure there have been bulls in other breeds such as Angus that have had alot...

There is a video of him on Cattle.com, in Denver 2011 videos.

I have most of the results but missed a few near the end. Here are the ones I have in the order of sale. Got side tracked near the end and didn't keep tabs on the last heifers or semen. 6-4500 8-8000 18-3500 4-8100 10-5000 16-5700 22-4400 3-4900 1-5000 23-2600 15-3900 28-1800 25-2600 24-1850...

Good point AJ. I am sure that changes in the corn genetics and harvesting improvements have changed the crop residue so that it is not good as it used to be. To answer your question as to which cow might breed back easier, the 1200# cow or the 1400# cow? I am going to give you an answer you're...

No it isn't, but hopefully with a little psychiatric help you will get better!!

I plan on being there. I will make sure to find you there.

Bulls really look good. Thats a group of bulls you ceretainly can be proud of. There should be something in there for everyone, no matter what your looking for.  (clapping)

Gee, I wonder if you like his Sire also?? :) :) I thought the lot 33 calf sure showed alot of thickness and quarter when I saw him last fall. Like I said,it will be interesting to see how he's developed.

Hi JIT and Uluru: Bulls really look good.  Looks like there's a good assortment to fit every need. Looks like a really solid set and they seem to be getting better every year. I hope to get up to Kisbey Sale day to see you and the bulls. Can't wait to see how some of the bulls I saw last...

This is a good topic that provokes alot of thought. First what I am wondering is, is calving ease EPD not a factor of both the calving ease score reported and birth weight reported since birth weight is a major (not only) factor in calving ease? Aso, in the angus and Red Angus breeds, is...

I have 8 cows that are bred to TM Gus.  Had my first 2 calves today. Both were out of Major Leroy 3 year olds. Both were heifers, 82 and 87 lbs. They were due on 3-13, so both were 6 days early. The calves look good and were built right to come easy. I am quite pleased with the way the calves...

Thanks Show Heifer, thats good to know coming from a herd that has alot of history working with recips. Last year I used what I consider to be one of my most fertile cows (never misses AI) for a recip and put one of my best embryos in her thinking it was a sure thing and she didn't stick. ...

I was wondering what everybody's experience has been  with recipient cows  with using recip's that have successfully stuck in past years versus those that have not? I had 10 embryos implanted last year in my own recips and 5 stuck and 5 did not. No variance in age, nutrition, or condition of...

I would think that if there was miscommunication between the seller and sales management it's not your fault. If they sold with no reserve bid they should be yours for the price they bid.  The sale's management should cover the difference to the seller since it was their error.  They get paid a...

You couldn't find a Polar Bear hungry enough to eat Pelosi!
