I was very sorry to see the passing of Steer Planet member r.n.reed, Gary Kaper. I met Gary years ago and always admired his breeding program and appreciated his freindship. He had the Wolf Ridge Shorthorn herd in Illinois and bred bulls such as Kaper 4508 and Wolf Ridge Double Brute...

In this crazy world our sales facility was canceled due to the covid 9 virus and now we are an online sale. This bull is one of the lots and wondered if he checks any boxes as steer option. Totally quiet with the best hair coat but that is not my market...

Sometimes you get those PPM moments that end up turning out. I obviously didn't pull the bull out of the pasture early enough last summer and ended up with one of my favourite heifers, Diamond Dazzling Maid 2D, calving at just under 16 months. The calf is sired by Frimley Cowboy Logic 24C. The...
