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?

Can anyone tell me the cane code for TKCC Classified? Also, what kind of cows does he seem to be working with? Thanks!

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...

I moved the cows to grass today, and boy where they happy! I thought I would share a few pictures of them... The first pic is a Sept Upperclass x Zsa Zsa embryo heifer... Second picture is a Jan One Eyed Jack bull, soon to be steer, calf. He is 5/8 simmi, and guess the 3/8? He will make a...

Thought I would update about my Iron Hide calves. We are pretty happy with them, for sure. They have great docility, and are big boned with plenty of power. Pictured is a 14 month old bull I have for sale. We showed him at state fair, where he was champion percentage in the junior show. He was...

So, I am looking for contact info on Reproductive Management Assoc. I have a number that was registered in the embryologist manual (not sure what it is called, but it lists all registered embryologists with location and phone number). I bought some embryos out of the Circle M dispersal sale, and...

Anyone use him? He is a full brother to Loaded Up, carried by Genex http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1SM00164&lang=EN He had a really nice red, white faced heifer sell in a sale here recently, she went for a lot of money ($12,500)! We bred a few to him this fall, for...

The annual Fall Harvest for the Missouri Simmental Breeders is Saturday, December 2nd. We will be there with our cattle (we have 13 head consigned) on Friday and Saturday, at the Springfield Livestock Marketing Center. I would love to meet some of you, and it is always a good time to reconnect...

My Select Sires guy stopped in today to drop off some semen, gave me the new book. There is a bull in there that I would like to find out  more about.... http://bullbarn.com/simmepd.asp?ID=915 His EPD's are not bad.... I do not know the Angus side of his pedigree (he is a 3/4).... What do you...

I took a few pictures of our spring bulls this weekend. I thought I would share. Both are for sale, since we do not use live bulls in our program except in extreme conditions. The first two pics are of an Upgrade sired bull, April born (so 12 months). He weighed 1330 on Saturday. He is in the...

We had our first Live Ammo calves born this week. (http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1SM00158&lang=EN) The first is a heifer, dammed by a half blood Upgrade cow who has had lots of babies. She was 74.6 pounds and 273 days gestation. She is the black (grey) calf pictured...

I am super happy about our fall calf crop this year. In the Simmental world, many people seek after that pretty white blaze on the face, but it is not so easy to get. We have been lucky if we get one to two a year, even though we try to breed that way (of course, genetics and function is more...

Well, we had our first Hooks Broadway calf yesterday afternoon. Dam is a 22 month old heifer. I knew she was in early labor in the morning, so I checked on her a few times. Went back out and the darn thing was already sucking, but barely standing and still wet! Great vigor, and that heifer had...

So, where are they? Any word on how they turn out? He was real hot for awhile, but seems to have slipped off the radar? We were at the South Central Regionals in OK, and I am not sure I saw any sired by him, and there were close to 180 head there. I noticed his sired embryos got real cheap, so...

I went ahead and had our Monopoly x Built Right bull calf tested, and of course he is TH carrier. Oh well, but he looks great. I have not cut him, he is just such a great looking bull calf! I noticed a lot of these online sales going on are selling calves his age (October), and I think he looks...

Well, I took some pics tonight, since we are bringing the spring show heifers in tomorrow and start working them. These girls have not been touched since last summer; no clipping or special treatment. I look forward to see what we can develop them into. Most are several generations deep in our...

We brought our Monopoly x Built Right in today and gave him the first bath and clip job... 420 pounds today, on just milk and hay What do you think? We need to decide if we should cut him or leave a bull...

A heifer!!!! lol. This cow was the 2009 South Central Regional Percentage Champion heifer in Durant, OK at the Simmental regional show. An awesome Macho half blood we bought out of the 2008 Exposure Sale that Christy Collins used to run (1/4 Maine, 1/4 angus). She likes to throw bull calves (ALL...

Boy, it has been a busy year! We completed out the year with our state sale, Fall Harvest, and were happy with the results (we had the high selling animal, a Grandmaster bred heifer that our middle daughter showed). Anyway, we are super excited about not only our spring 15 heifers that the kids...

We had our first HPF Optimizer calf. The dam is a first calf heifer, who will not be 2 until January, and calved about a week ago (right on her due date). She is a Steel Force x REN Extra Nice, an embryo we purchased from Mark Benes with Gateway Genetics. The calf was 50 pounds at birth, and...
