Some really good cattle in this offering! That RR Orange Girl 10th is a great looking cow. The Durham Reds look good but seems a shame those good Shorty cows being bred Red Angus.(Just as regards preserving some really good pure shorthorn genetics) I'd rather see Red Angus cows bred to the Sneed bulls.JMO
If the foundation goes back to 1854 were those cows Patton or 17's stock? Those were some great genetics that got discounted in the pedigree craze.

Definately call for a catalog - mailing list is fairly limited.

Wow those are some good cattle.  I'm pretty interested in a couple of the heifer calves. Will there be any videos taken?  I'd love to see them bred to a couple of our bulls with those linebred pedigrees and our outcross genetics.

I agree with Okotoks as I would rather see his bulls and say some groups of red angus cows from 5L. I would like to see some linebred red angus bulls sampled on his cows. If you dont get some hybrid kick  from that mating then I give up. Some Beckton bulls maybe? Im sure there are many more choices. I like the fact 329 is a son of 034 and grandsire is RS ST269 832 00 who is one of the lowest birthweight bulls I have ever found. Interesting to read his pedigrees. FAR from the fashion today or mainstream. I see Venture and 269 in the catalog with some AR SU LU/ Deertrail stuff. Other than that its all RS bred cattle generations deep. I was told once Venture didnt work that good for him till he got back to 3/4 his breeding, then it clicked. We all can stand to learn a great deal from this program.  Between him and Mr Kaper, we have two breeders in the states who can supply the seed for the rest of us to grow. Just think of the carcass premiums one could garner turning a Sneed bull out on a group of angus or angus cross cows that have already proven their value to the feedlot. That IMO, is a smart rancher.

Sorry to ramble but I see oppurtunity knockin and all I can do is watch and twidle my thumbs for now.

Looks like lots of options for anyone looking for a calving ease sire. Lots of depth and with the back ground should be lots of consistency!

Ultrasound information can be emailed. All of the data was not posted on web page.

This has been said in eariler phone conversasions: I dont think you'll see another offering from a closed herd next week, year or decade as deep as this group.

Feel free to call.

Hope to see everyone there next week.  That Girl family just keeps doing it right over and over for Rob and cant wait to see these cattle again went through them in Oct. and really liked what I saw.  If you are looking for a Low BW easy fleshing solid red great carcass type of animal then you shouldn't pass this sale up.  <party>

Then, you'd better order your semen quickly.

I think the breed needs to plug in this line of cattle. I know once Lauer's cattle were discovered they were appreciated. I think this is a similar herd. Not alot of hype. No outragous prices. Just plain good value.
