Rolly Bateman aka "Scotland", you do make me laugh. (clapping)

(lol)

Is the Eionmor herd totally dispersed or was it a 'selective` dispersal as some herds have done in the past? Have they retained any females?

Well according to Knabe there is no such thing as "fleashing ease" (sic). So if there are ten bulls in one pen by a particular sire and ten in another pen by a different sire all being fed and managed identically and pen one's progeny group have a 10% higher weight gain than the group in pen...

Three years ago, I had the good fortune to visit with Donald and Diana McGillvary of Calrossie, in Scotland.  Donald was in his 80s but his memory was crystal clear yet. His father and grandfather had leading roles in the history of the Shorthorn breed in Scotland. In our discussion, he said...

The reason U.K. Shorthorn breeders don't shave their bulls' heads before going to the big sales like Stirling is because they would look really ugly. U.K. Shorthorn bulls do not possess the nice heads that you would find on most Canadian type stock. The huge infusion of Maine Anjou blood has...

His pedigree would be very maternally orientated so I would think his daughters should be very good. I'd put him on stronger made cows to avoid a higher cull rate with bull calves from him. He's a very impressive bull, and I like him a lot. Of Bowman's two Canadian bulls I personally prefer the...

  Hmmmmm, yes quite possibly. They are also very docile animals too. Maybe you could cross them on the Wolf Willow Major Leroy daughters!

R.N.Reed The Irish Shorthorn Improvement Scheme was started after the Irish Department of Agriculture noticed a worrying decline in Ireland's Shorthorns due to the British Friesian gaining a large foothold on small Irish farms. To stop the decline the Irish Dept. of Ag. in conjunction with the...

It's interesting how some bloodtyped close to some Maines. It's probably because true Rouge des Prix probably did have lots of Shorthorn blood - therefore an Irish bred Shorthorn and a breed derived from a Shorthorn will be similar in blood type. This would be however before American breeders...

All pedigrees come to a full stop or dead-end when you follow them back far enough. I have a copy of volume III  of Coates herdbook and there are no six generations of pedigree in that.

Interesting choice of words Xbar "Valuing asterick free cattle that carry Irish blood is valuing deception." When did you become the go to person regarding Irish cattle and their bloodlines? How do you know what Irish cattle aren't fullblood? Have you seen these cattle or do you have first hand...

Trump and Ayatollah? ;D

  Well XBAR when did you see "Code Red" to be able to describe him the way you did? The pic you have displayed is not the well known Alta Cedar Code Red 24s, it is a photo of the 62w bull.

::)

It would be genetically impossible for a white Shorthorn bull to breed all white progeny unless he was mated exclusively to white cows.

Duncraggan is quite correct in the statement that testicular abnormalities are very inheritable. The fact that this bull has done well on the show circuit will probably encourage lots of people to use him who have never seen him. It's amazing if the bull has a testicular abnormality that the...

I was told they are only releasing semen now?

Is there any photo of the AF Double Dynasty bull? I've heard a few people talking about him in the past few weeks. They are supposed to have sold $50,000 worth of pre-booked semen from him already.
