    Texas State Shorthorn sale

    Isn't Improver the sire of Improver 3rd??? Not according to DNA!

    Texas State Shorthorn sale

    Deerpark Improver 3rd, and Deerpark Improver have no genetic link. Only thing in common, they were both exported from Ireland and share space on a "Paper". Sadly we probably won't ever know how the Irish cattle fit together.

    Elbee Throwback calves

    Will.  Glad to hear Trowback could fit into the "calving ease" category.

    Needing horse showing adive

    I've been involved with our county's horse show for years. The one thing I can assure you is this; a professionally trained horse is NOT a sure winner! The more time you can set aside practicing one-on-one with, and exposing your horse to the events you mentioned the better your success...

    Shorthorn Question

    Show cattle aside. Market price -minus .20 Cents per lb. = 0 Shorthorn appearing cattle! My suburbanite customer doesn't know the difference between birth weight EPD, and EPT preg test! They don't even know what a Shorthorn is, now Longhorn or Durham, yes. CAB: Greatest marketing strategy...

    A bull that can cross the boundaries between clubbie and cowboy cattle

    One consolation on these extremely large loineyes is, that consumers buying freezer beef directly off the farm prefer a leaner and higher ratio of the more expensive cuts. ie; @ $2.40 per lb. for a whole or half why wouldn't you want 20 inch eyes?

    A bull that can cross the boundaries between clubbie and cowboy cattle

    Then this weekend I had a clubbie guy come through, he says "To bad you don't have any roans." Yah, too bad !                                   <cowboy>

    A bull that can cross the boundaries between clubbie and cowboy cattle

    Grant, I guess we need to schedule you to come preach at our local sale barn here someday. Last group of roan steers I took had to be no-saled (lucky I was there). Auctioneer started them at .40 cents (that's without a 1 in front of it).                                                        ...

    Oklahoma City Bombing-New Video Link

    Cotullaguy, I've watched and re-watched the original posted video (with the sound off). Someone will have to point out to me the extra bombs. If your talking about the drawing, I could have done that in 9th grade drafting class. With all due respect I would love to be convinced, without...

    Oklahoma City Bombing-New Video Link

    I watched the video, here's my theory, same as it was 10 years ago. McVeigh was a phsyco dumbass! ! ! He had no idea how well his bomb would work! ! !  He watched his bomb go off, shit himself, then got caught speeding on I-70. End of story. Now, Cotullaguy, turn off the sound on your...

    Asterik free Shorthorn X Lincoln Red! Whats the scoop?

    I have a nice picture of Laidlaw, and had the opportunity to see him. Very impressive beasty by today's standards! I'm always keeping my eyes open to better marketing strategies for Shortys, obviously statictics are not enough. We have to deceive the "eye", I believe Lincoln Reds are capable of...

    Asterik free Shorthorn X Lincoln Red! Whats the scoop?

    I would consider using a Lincoln Red bull if he was not Shorthorn Plus status. I believe it would be a better deal than the Red aNGUS thing. The Lincoln Reds I saw 30+ years ago at Pleasant Valley in Brandon Iowa were the real deal. They were just the wrong side of the road for the 70's-80's trend.
