Updated pasture photo from today.

Anyone have conformation critique on this bull calf? Contemplating selling him at our beef expo. Purebred Angus, Registration number 18498115 if anyone wants to take a look at his EPD's. Sired by Tour of Duty out of a Dixie Erica cow. He is a late February calf.

Show Coat or MTG.

I have one on the ground though is out of a purebred Angus. Came in the 85lb range unassisted out of a large framed cow. Can try to get a pic if anyone is interested. A little over a month old. I've seen some pretty good ones and some pretty average ones. Too early for me to tell on ours. Born...

I've read many past threads but I'm curious what people are using today as their base animals. I have purebred Angus, was planning to breed to another purebred (sim, maine, shorthorn, etc) to make halfbloods which would then be bred clubby. Anyone have recommendations? Have a few straws of Chill...

There is a bunch of them on CEG's blog. Just search his name in the top right corner. I'll link some below too. https://competitiveedgebulls.com/2016/03/03/from-jason-pudenz-iowa/ https://competitiveedgebulls.com/2016/04/10/schroeder-show-cattle-ohio/...

Slider the purebred Angus bull

http://www.anguslive.com/ http://simmentallive.com/ http://www.jordancattle.com/ http://www.cattleinmotion.com/ https://www.firstchoiceonlinesales.com/ is a cool one IMO. They have some different features and a better design for me. Tons and tons of sale sites out there. This doesn't even...

I have a Dixie Erica X Tour of Duty bull calf who is looking pretty good. He was born twin to a heifer. Heifer didn't make it, found her too late. So trying to decide if he is worth raising as a bull and selling him at the local beef expo. Have a full sib heifer from last year who is pretty...

Looking to buy a package of Angus embryos. Must be purebred Angus. Not interested in other breeds at this time. The goal for them is to make high quality show animals. Sexed heifer preferred but not required. Anyone have anything to sell? We are on a budget so will not be able to spend $1000+...

I have a Sim Angus X MAB who will get bred to Slider after she is shown as a Market Heifer assuming she doesn't fall apart.

I would say name and reputation factor in to not being able to sell. My family is in the same boat. But I wholeheartedly agree with the poster above. Absolutely must look like show cattle, have the hair, halterbroke, chubby, ready to walk into a show arena. We are going to most likely consign...

I was also very skeptical of the product. Bought a gallon and will continue to use the product from now on. It makes training the hair so much easier. Like a poster above said it really helps with the quality of hair. The heifer we used it on had 2"+ of hair in the 90 degree heat before using...

Ok I looked into it more. M1 and DD are the two defects the Angus Association  will register all calves regardless of status. All other defects, CA, AM, D2, and NH, follow the policy I posted above. Carrier females can be registered but carrier Bulls cannot. I personally would not buy a carrier...

Angus cattle defect policy is very similar to what someone suggested above. (*NOTE: It also depends on the defect as to their policy. This one is for CA.) Carrier females can be registered, but their offspring have to be tested with the exception of steers. Any calves that are bulls have to test...
