Not sure I know that.  Joe Metzger would be a better one to ask.  You can obtain his email from his website at JM Cattle Company.  I do think the top selling lot was around $9000 last year

Talk to Stumpy, he has a template for success.  When he came to me he knew very little but had great desire.  I taught him what I knew, let him make some mistakes which he learned from, and he went on from there.  Very quickly the student surpassed the teacher.  Big key will be to find a...

Good luck with the ASA, maybe the new secretary will take a harder position on this.  I have had the same problem and since that time have looked much closer at the sale terms in large breeder catalogs.  If you look several of the most reputable breeders state they comply to the ASA guarantee...

We have 3 bulls all with good breeding in their background. 1.  Studer's Pretender/AF Dream Lady.  Red with white marks. BW 82lbs 2.  SS Deadwood/RB Shanie (former Res. Gr. Denver)  White. BW 78lbs 3.  Sull Grey Goose/SS Revival 317 (Schrags say she was the thickest of all the Revival/Sonnys) ...

Jeff, you sure like those white on white genetics.  You trying to become a Charolais breeder?

I couldn't put CF Solution in the top slot on Shorthorns without seeing the 100's of head that don't make the cut in their annual sale.  The fact that it is very difficult to get semen on him to use on cows that probable aren't the very best eliminates him from the top spot for me.  I think...

Hey Stumpy, thanks for the kind words.  I couldn't have prouder of  you then the day you won Denver with the Vixen heifer.  I find myself trying to play catchup. You sure came a long way.  Now how about a flush on Vixen or her dam

The Lone Survivor.  Story of the Seal team that got dropped into Afghanistan.  He was the only one that survived of 4 as they were pursued by 250 Taliban.  Rescue team died also.  Great book but it will bring tears to your eyes.  One of the team received the Congressional Medal of Honor

I wasn't tryiing to bash Deadwood as I am actually very impressed with his calves.  However, I have yet to find the consistent calving ease sire in the Shorthorn Breed that produces something marketable.  I realize the bull is only 50% of the formula but in actuality the heifer's EPD's which had...

We have 2 Deadwood Calves, both bulls.  One 75#, one 130# and taken out of the side.  Both dams were heifers.  We are trying Alta Ceder First Blood First Blood 5R this year.  He is a Canadian bull with reported calving ease in his EPD's.  Both the Deadwood calves are pretty good but I would say...

We are in Northeast Indiana, we have about 25 purebred shorthorn cows.  It's a 4-H project that went out of control.  My sons are all raised and will probably show as the grandchildren get older but for now they just help occasionally.  Problem is Dad can't give it up.  We have been extremely...

We own the full sib to Sin City named DF Yankee.  He is 8 years old now.  Our experience is that the birthweights are all over the box.  I do not recommend this breeding for heifers unless you are going to be able to assist.  We have had calves over 100# and down to 65# on the same cow.  Go...
