I thought we'd dig a bit deeper this year for the National Angus show we are hosting in Manitoba so I went to the pasture and pull this guy from 45 pairs in mid august.  N7's Sandman 17D is a son of SAV Resource (I know, another resource son. boring).  His dam is a daughter of Tokach Update...

It finally warmed up enough to snap some pictures of the bulls.  One kid is sleeping in the idling side by side about 10 feet in front of the bulls and another is watching movies in the barn while my wife and I frantically try to clean up bulls and take pictures.  Life with little kids is all...

I know another Resource post  ::) but I always find it interesting to look at an animal at their 3 stages of development all side by side.  Here's my SAV Resource son NYK MacGyver 5C as a calf, as a yearling, and as a 2 year old.  All pics taken at the end of October at MB Ag-Ex. p.s. I...

We've acquired 2 new donor cows this fall from my Parents herd that I intend to flush in the spring/winter.  Looking for some marketable suggestions for Angus specifically but open to other ideas. Cow#1 - N7's Mary KT 30Y: Sire SAV Net Worth, Maternal Grandsire N Bar Emulation EXT              ...

Stopped in at my parents' place for a tour and snapped a couple pics of one of the herd bulls.  I posted them on Facebook and it seems to have stirred up some conversation so I thought I would share here.  Sired by SAV Pioneer off a TC Stout 407 cow.  2014 model so he's 3. 

Grant's post got me thinking.  What's the best "deal" you've ever found.  A diamond in the rough that you brought home and really worked out for you?  Post yours! I've had a couple but the best was this cow, Soo Line Georgina 1101Y was the best deal for sure.  Bought her for HALF of the sale...

Here's a heifer I've been keeping in my back pocket all summer.  What do you think?  Good enough for the show road?

The summer shows here in Manitoba are in the books.  We've had one of our best runs ever.  Now it's time to start making plans for the big fall shows but before that I thought I'd share some pics of the string. First Pic is CAM POLL Xpressive 012X (EXLR Total Control) and her Feb bull calf NYK...

Been snapping some pics on my cell lately of the cows.  Thought I'd share.  Some pretty promising young cows in this bunch and some good old proven girls too.

I usually share some pics of my Angus cattle that I show but I wanted to share this purebred Limousin heifer we exhibited this year.  She was Grand Champion Limousin Female or Reserve Female at every show she was exhibited in MB also placing in several Jackpot shows throughout the summer.  At...

Well I've done the unthinkable and offered up my favorite cow on the farm for sale.  We're offering a flush on her and now I'm getting all kinds of questions on what she should be flushed to.  You guys on Steerplanet are usually good at coming up with some creative ideas.  If you happen to have...

After chores last night I snapped some pics of the show cattle.  I finally got them all sorted and up to the yard so I thought I'd share.  First pics of the pair I am showing.  Three year old Angus cow with a March 20 heifer calf.

It's been -30 or colder here for almost 3 weeks without a break so I haven't accomplished much other than taking some pictures.  The cows and calves seem happy regardless of the weather.

With the amazing weather we've had over the past week, I finally got the bulls clipped and pictured.  What do you think?  Which one would you pick? p.s. more pictures of the "Great Canadian Wind Fence" for Librarian and Oakview

OK Steerplanet, we're planning on flushing our National Champion Cow.  Any great ideas for sires to flush her to?  Realistically we will be flushing to an Angus bull but I'm open to other suggestions (if only for interests sake).  Don't just throw out names, I'd like to know "why" as well. FYI...

Since it often gets brought up about what calving ease bull to use on clubbys and Bismarck is often mentioned, I thought I'd post a couple pics of my Bismarck 2yr old.  The first pic is about three weeks after calving and the second is mid summer.  If you don't like her, that's ok but she's...

We won Supreme Female over all breeds last week at Harding Fair and qualified for the RBC Supreme show at Canadian Western Agribition.  If you're unfamiliar with it, champions from shows across North America (from Fort Worth, to Edmonton, to Toronto) come and compete for ~$15,000 cash and...

Here's a couple of pics of this year's Angus yearling that I'm taking to some jackpots.  First one is form last fall at weaning.  Other pic is form last weekend. I haven't clipped her yet but I sure think she looks good!

I took some pictures of my show string the other day and I'd thought I'd share.  It's been -30 of colder here for months so they have not been washed/rinsed like you southerners prefer.  The show is next week.  First pic is my clubby heifer sired by Critical Mass Second Pic  is a purebred...

I thought some people might be interested in seeing some pictures of our herdsire, N7's Elvis 9Y, as he has grown and matured.  He is a son of Sitz Upward 307R.  Pictured one the 1st of November as a calf (10 months of age) Yearling, and 2yr old.  Any comments/opinions? *added pic from May...
