    Ace or Thorazine?

    I had a heifer that was in a wild, hot HOT heat at nationals. She was bawling, and trying to jump EVERYTHING that stood still. She is more than halter broke, been to at least 10 shows this year. Send her to the ring, dragging a kid, trying to jump everything.... or give her something to take the...

    how are shows going?

    Yes, I have. I know the Simmental nationals will be live, and I think the regionals were too (I saw it being recorded), but you find the link on Facebook. That is about all the coverage I have seen. Maybe Nationals will be better covered by The Pulse and such?

    how are shows going?

    We have had a good year so far. South Central Regionals was in OK a few weeks ago. We had the 6th high purebred bull (Shell Shocked x Upgrade), pictured, and the 7th high purebred heifer (Grand Fortune x Rockin Robin), also pictured. We are also dragging a nice Bandwagon embryo heifer (Hera)...

    Anyone go to Jeff Miller sale?

    Great guy! We have two cows we purchased from him as show heifers that in production. He is a great guy to work with. I hope his sale was a huge success! Did anyone go? How did it go?

    Water thaw or pocket thaw

    Genex semen can be pocket thawed. We do it all the time. However, other semen is different.

    Cane Code for TKCC Classified

    I need to be careful stacking Upgrade (His paternal sire) on Upgrade in my females. Many of our cows are Upgrade sired, or grand-sired. I used a straw last night on a Built Right x Wide Track cow. Hoping she sticks!

    Cane Code for TKCC Classified

    Found out today he is also 16SM2566. I called today to verify, and yep, he was collected at another place. So happy I got a cane on him!!!!

    Cane Code for TKCC Classified

    Thanks, I figured that. They are not open on weekends. I bought a cane off a good friend for way under his normal price, but wanted to make sure of the cane code before I moved them to my tank. I was hoping someone on here would have it. Again, thanks!

    Electronic Heat Detection Systems

    We don't want any bulls around, so that will not work. Looking for other options. There is a system out that that measures activity of the cow, along with a bunch of other stuff. I can not look at the cows in the morning before work, and my help has missed several heats because they were not...

    Electronic Heat Detection Systems

    Reviving this thread.  I have gone back to work full time, so finding it hard to hit some of the heats. What is out there that works well?

    SSC Shell Shocked 44B

    Thought I would update the pictures on our two shell shocked sired babies. The bull is a mid Feb, his dam is an Upgrade x Club King cow, and he is her second calf. We weighed them today, he was 930 pounds. The heifer is a June born, so 7 months. Her dam is an Upgrade 3/4 blood we bought from...

    Where have all the readers/posters gone?

    I'v been a registered user since Jan 2010, but was just a stalker before that. Everything said on here is true and fits for me; I have very little interest in Shorthorn cattle (though I did buy 5 straws of Manimal to try for spring half blood calves, on a recommendation that came from this...

    SSC Shell Shocked 44B

    All of mine have come TINY! TINY! Tiny! Use him on heifers, they will come TINY! lol. I hope that helps

    SSC Shell Shocked 44B

    I have two that I still own (not sold as a pair last fall). I love them both still. The bull will be shown at Nationals is KY if he continues to grow like he has...I pictured him at 8 months old. The heifer we have will likely be shown also, she is a June bred and owned. I will use him on...

    LOW Birth Weight Sire Suggestions for First Time Heifer

    Why not try Simmental? You can register the calf as shorthorn and simm. Shell Shocked throws 50 pound calves here, VERY small for us! https://cattlevisions.com/detail.php?BullId=4099&bulltype=1 His conception is AMAZING! I have 98% conception on my semen on him.

    Bulls coming along nicely

    I took some pictures of the bulls we are developing right now. I would like to get a few of them sold, but bulls seems to be moving really slow this year! These guys are all fall, and a few Feb sired bulls. Sires include HPF Optimizer, Upgrade, Upperclass, and Shell Shocked. The calf with his...

    Simmental bull options

    Optimizer is a great choice, along with W/C Lock n Load 1143Y. We are really liking our 1143Y calves!

    Can someone at the Nat Jr Shorthorn show take a cell pic if the bull is there ?

    Reviving this threat. What is the opinion of this bull today? What does he do well? I have been wanting to use a white SH on some of my Sim cows, to get the roan color and just something different. For those with experience, what does he work well on (conformation wise). Thanks
