Thank you! And yes I probably won't Blaster merely because of his BW EPD. Don't get me wrong, he's a good bull! And a possibility for future cows, but I just don't want to risk it with a heifer. And I am also concerned with TH & PHA status.. I will be sure to check on that with the owners.
Mark - Martins Vintage is a maine? He looks like he has very nice heifers, but I really want to stick with purebred shorthorns for now. Thank you though!
I also want to ask everyone to please pray for my dad as he had a heart attack saturday. He's doing better but he still needs prayers.. he doesn't like being kept away from the farm! We have just got into the shorthorn business (I suppose it's his mid-life crisis and I'm just lucky that it's something I also love!) and he's been so excited about it. He's been such a big part in helping me with my heifer while I'm at college.. he combs her out & feeds her every day, has made a new stall in the barn for her, and has built a very nice clipping chute. We have worked on this project together and were supposed to start off with the open show at the Ohio Beef Expo, but we may not be able to go now. I know he's probably going to be more disappointed than I will if we don't get to go. So please just keep him in your thoughts.. thank you!
