    Bon View Bando 598

    Understandable and a bummer, but if there is any sort of chance on a female or bull we keep it gets tested. Just better safe than sorry and for the cost of testing it's fairly cheap insurance to avoid an issue.

    Bon View Bando 598

    Like quoted just by tested bulls, it can go back to 598 and not carry the defect. If you don't buy CAC or CAP it shouldn't be an issue.

    Matt Lautner question

    Didn't post to trash talk anyone, just posted as to my experence with him. If you question it your more than welcome to PM me, it may have been a one off deal or something like that the first time but it's happened more than once.

    Matt Lautner question

    I can't say much as to dealing with Matt in person. But via phone and Facebook the guy was plain rude! You can't go around bitting the hand that feeds you and expect to do what he does every year.

    2014 prospect bulls

    Now you can knock Angus all you want that's your choice but at least we have given ourselves a Maternal cow that has proven itself time and time again. I get this is a show cattle site but last check you still can't eat bone or hair out of these show steers.

    Pricing on sexed semen?

    Not sure that is possible... Genex when they sex does it prefreeze and you get a farm less amount of semen in a straw than with conventional, not to mention some will be damaged because of how they sort.

    Angus Bulls Help!!

    Looking for some opinions of bull that have some performance but also have the look for the ring. Cows are very well structured need to be cleaned up through the front a touch. Would like to add some center rib and get them a tick wider made through the rear. Any opinions would be appreciated...

    XBAR's Nightmare

    I don't mean to knock Chi's to any of you that breed them its just the best example in my opinion. These same things could be said for lots of Associations. Maines, Shorthorns are in the same boat with their Shorthorn Plus and Maintainer programs. Like I said not meaning to knock one breed just...
