several calves on Trausch Farms sale.

The ones in the Trausch farms sale are impressive!! in my opinion

we flushed him on a pretty common Meyer x Angus cow.  the first set of embryos we put in we got 4 calves and sold 3 in our labor day sale.  the 4th was TH free as he didn't have the hair and bone as the others and we all know they don't sell as well but still a good steer that gained and grew to sell well at the sale barn, especially compared to most clubby bulls.  I attached pictures of the steer we sold for $15,500 and the heifer that sold for $7000.  The other heifer sold for $2500 which put us at an average of over $8300.  If you include the 4th sold at the sale barn we still averaged $6500.  You'll be seeing more full sibs at our sale next year!

Harvey cattle co. raised him and had some on their sale + I think you can find a picture of his dam.

care to explain??? Was it 'instinct', extra cash, or the cow's pedigree or past-- that was a causal agent?  Usually that phrase doesn't work out, or ever happen...

If it was her past.. then most likely she'd click with anything-- if not then????

Lol that steer looks kinda like Meyer 735

That cow was a first calf heifer when we flushed her.  Her first calf was out of our angus bull to have an easy calf.  She has Angus bone and hair.  She does have good rib, nice front, and is sound.  What we did was pair her with a bull that we felt was going to give her the bone, hair, & stoutness she needed.  Plain and simple.  You can call it luck or instinct, we simply paired her with a bull we thought she would click with.  We also flushed her to Lutton to try and make some females.  That worked pretty well too.

Thank you for posting pictures, those are some beautiful calves. That cow and salty dog were a great genetic match it looks like! What is your sale called?

so you flushed a 'common' cow, that had only had an 'average' calf- in her 'only' calving- TWICE- to make keeper 'females'? 

what was it that 'plain and simple' pushed you over the edge and decided to flush her, instead of sticking a straw in her and seeing what happend? 

Because

This was our 2nd sale.  First one was called The Fab 5, and the second one was called The Titanium 10.  Not sure what next years sale will be called til the calves start hitting the ground.

She was bought with the intention of flushing, as well as two other donors.  We run a small herd of western cows to serve as recips.  That's the way we wanted to run our operation so that's the way we are doing it.  We took the gamble on flushing her that early and to a new bull, and it worked.  We even got the type of females on the Lutton mating that we wanted so we were quite happy.

Going back to the original topic of the post, I feel Salty Dog is a bull very capable of siring quality cattle.  I would guess there will be a few more hitting the ground next year.

Thank you for the post, you have bred some impressive cattle!

You raised some very nice calves , keep up the good work !

Real Nice calves!  Too bad the post started to get littered w/ negativity junk...  (pop)

Mr.Negativity. Please stop. i understand that you have a goal(whatever it may be) and you like to get your point across,but you don't have to constantly put other people's integrity into question. We all have one thing in common, and that is that we all share a passion and love for cattle. Everyone has their own way of breeding, raising, and selecting cattle. It may not be how you would do it, but you don't have to constantly put other people down. It doesn't matter how common this person's cow is, it doesn't affect you and it isn't hurting you, so why bother that person. What ever he or she is doing is obviously working for them, and for their goals for their operation. If you don't agree with something, or a post, nobody is forcing you to reply, especially if you don't have anything nice to say. Please help spread positivity throught steerplanet. No matter what breed or quality of cattle people have, they enjoy what they are doing, and their cattle are their pride and joy.

Rockafeller, thank you very much for posting pictures of your calves. They are great looking animals!It doesn't matter how common your cow is, she is producing quality calves. do you have a website?

She is definitely not a common producer!

She deffinitely isn't, those are not common calves
