    Bulls don’t live long.

    I would think the bulls have a lot of injuries being collected 2-3 times each week. Some aren't accepted quickly and go away, sometimes to a herd for natural service. Too expensive to keep in a stud if they are not selling.

    Old school Angus bulls

    I believe I have seen New Yorker listed at 70" tall and other bulls of the era at 68".  No doubt these are exaggerations, and photos were taken from ground level to increase appearance of height. 70" tall at two years would be as big or bigger than purebred Chi and Holstein bulls. I have just...

    Old school Angus bulls

    I see nothing wrong with that Rito bull.  Manhattan threw some outstanding cattle.  Personally, I would like to see what he would do on today's soggy females. I called the breeder of Manhattan this morning and hope to find a picture somewhere.

    Old school Angus bulls

    For grins, I may flush one of my Angus cows this spring to Patriot. I hope a Red Angus guy would have some interest in a flush. Lovana had some outstanding numbers as I recall.  He was promoted heavily in Angus Journal Power Play sired some influential cattle in his day.

    Speakers/radios at shows

    Please consider that many folks do not appreciate the loud music, or genre of music you might play. Based upon many years of experience, radios are more of a nuisance to your neighbors than welcome music. One family this summer played music very loud and included rap music littered with f-...

    Old Angus semen

    Can you please explain what you mean about rate? If you mean rate of gain, or weight per day of age, many of the cattle of 30-40 years ago had similar production and growth performance but are 30-50 pounds lower at weaning and up to 100 pounds lower at yearling epds. I don't understand how...

    Old Angus semen

    I don't have much faith in epds when comparing older and newer pedigrees.  Older pedigrees have very low growth epds but somehow managed to weigh the same or more than today's cattle.
