Checking Cattle Pictures

[Toughie]

That's him.  We only used him for cleanup last year after AI.  We got 3 calves, all heifers, 2 whites and a roan.  Scotland's QK Mae cow calved with a heifer by him just two weeks ago.  They are all really nice heifers, thick, yet very feminine.

bump I want to no hilltops answer as well

helluva bull bet he wants to come work for me

His dam is HC Princess 60L a THF daughter of RS Bowtie, who has a flawless udder. We are quite pleased with how he has been developing.

Here is a link to 60L pedigree.http://www.clrc.ca/cgi-bin/pedigree.cgi?_breedcode=MS&_countrycode=CAN&_association=21&_regnumberprefix=*&_regnumber=13472&_regnumbersuffix=

Here is a pic of HC Princess 60L taken in 2006 just a few months before I sold her to Mama Hilltop. You are right about her flawless udder. I doubt anybody could draw a better udder than she has. She is now 10 years old and she still has an udder of a 3 year old. She is very deep bodied and apple smooth.

Here is a picture of a son of HC Princess 60L that we used on our heifers. He is HC Neutron 152N and he was sired by CF Varsity X who was a Trump son. He proved out to be extremely easy calving and we used him on heifers for two years and never assisted a calf sired by him. Bill Huber( Huberdale Shorthorns) was so impressed with his calves that he bought him from us, and he was used in their herd for several years. Bill told me recently that Neutron was probably the easiest calving sire they have ever used in their herd. Another son of Princess 60L, HC Remington was sold to Bender Shorthorns, Neudorf, SK and he also proved to be a calving ease sire. ( I guess we never received the memo regardling everything from the Trump and Rodeo Drive lines being cow killers.... Remington was sired by HC Merger who was a Rodeo Drive son and Neutron was a Trump grand son ... both were super easy calving bulls) The picture of Neugtron was taken in late summer as a two year old after he had been running with 40 females for over 3 months.

Justintime, I've heard you make the point about Trump x Rodeo Drive being calving ease many times. I know those genetics have been used in many different ways. The most recent and popular genetics have been the NPS Desert Rose 004 bulls like Solution and Bloodstone. Desert Rose 004 is a double bred Ka'Ba Rose T90. T90 is sired by Deerpark Improver 57 which has a Calving ease epd of -10.2 and a maternal calving ease epd of -13.1. Usually when you see a bulls CE epd and it's not good, the MCE is a little better. In his case it is not. Not sure if there is something to this or not.

I'm not wanting to hijack this thread and I realize that this topic has been discussed a great length  previously. I suggest we discuss this in a new thread.

 

[JTM]

Good idea. I just started one called "Shorthorn calving ease issues or not?

We went to Northern Shorthorns today and I thought I would post a couple Diamond Prophecy 21P daughters, their udder close ups (they are 5 this year) and a Diamond Prophecy 21P grand daughter out of the roan cow.

Here is another cow at Northern Shorthorns, she's a Diamond Captain Mark 27C out of Northern Legend's dam. Her calf is by Diamond Winalot 37W, a son of Diamond Regal Legend 4R and out of Diamond Kimona Maid 7K.

 

[Simmgal]

I just can't get over how good these cattle look! I really like the heifers and cows that I have been sseeing on here! If we had Shorthorns like that around here, then I would have a Shorthorn herd in addition to my Simmental herd!  <rock>

 

[jaimiediamond]

Today we toured MBM Shorthorns and I thought I would put some pictures up of their cattle.  The herd bull Diamond War Admiral 10W is out of Diamond Nona Maid 61N and by Diamond Rising Legend 1R his first calf crop is on the ground and looks plain awesome. MBM Shorthorns calving season begins in April.
