I want to clarify I’m not claiming to have a game changer or some promo bull. We’ll see how he grows and he might keep his nuts a little longer if I like him enough. My family enjoys showing cattle and that’s what we are trying to raise. We picked this heifer out of our pasture last fall and...
We definitely try to stay away from angus and use calving ease type shorthorns. Haven’t had too much trouble yet. Dug up a pic of one of our creole cows calves from last month. He was 80lb and came super easy. He is a JDMC Big Sky 15x on a charisma (creole) x creole cow. We’ll watch this one...
Induced yesterday morning and she calved a good size heifer tonight. Thank you for the inducing advice, it all worked out. We do run a few creole bred cattle and never have a problem. One of them is a double bred creole ( charisma x creole) and she calves right on time and unassisted every year...
We have a CF Solution first calf heifer that is last in the group to calve. We don’t run a cleanup bull and no neighbors with cattle so we are very sure of her due date. We have had cows go over before but not a week and not on a first calf heifer. Our vet will give us the shots to induce if we...
what kind of cows is hot commodity clicking with? I've seen some great ones and some plain janes. maybe there are better shorthorn CE bulls out there. ghost Rider pictured pretty well as a mature bull. any other input?
I'm debating on breeding this Damn Proud x Ace of diamonds heifer to Hot Commodity or Saskvalley yesterday. She is super sound, huge middled, and has a lot of base width. My only complaint is that she could be more feminine. I think a good maternal bull would do her some good. I want to stay pb...
I just bought a damn proud x ace of diamonds heifer that I'm pretty impressed with. I'm hoping to get a couple heifers out of these embryos and eventually take all of them back to Canadian bloodlines. Anyone know of any Canadian bulls that work on more of the show females? Obviously not for...
Jtm, I'm interested in your opinion of jpj son, damn proud. His mature video seems to be impressive. Maybe a touch moderate but functional. Btw I'm just breaking into the shorthorn breed. Bought a few embryos that trace back to one of your old cows athena. Some sired by damn proud, the other set...
Thought I'd post a pic of one of my calves. Mother is a first time heifer who is a heatwave x full flush. The sire is a simmi bull (sired by lucky break). Heifer was born yesterday evening. Mom needed a little assistance but not much. Shes still kinda wobbly and it looks like she toes out in one...
