DL, What is the protocol for dealing with possible genetic defects in the shorthorn breed? Are there any forms for submission of the information? Any directions for submitting the DNA? And then who does it get sent to? These things would make it easier to submit the information if it is not...
Your right aj. I guess we don't know what we don't know. And we won't know until we know. Hopefully everything works out with the least amount of damage. My buddies cow was a angus and shorthorn cross heifer that had the calf with the bad wheels.
I see these kids buying TH carriier cows and hoping to build a herd. Most of it is about the show end of this business and they want to have the popular bloodlines and expect to raise calves out of these cows. Some do make cows but the genetic traits carry on in the daughters. I hope none of...
My thoughts and only that. I worked to raise a registered herd of Shorthorn cows by breeding to two of the hottest bulls at the time. Double stuff and Outrageous. I don't need to tell the oldtimers what happend. TH Ruined my work and I ended up either shipping or selling the balance of the...
I like to give credit where credit is due. I am not only impressed by the attitudes and growth of a couple of Rodman calves this year but they seem to have alot of style and show potential to them also. Here is a picture of a Rodman/Eskimo Leggs/Who Made Who Heifer that we had this year out of a...
Nice Simmy Cow that gave me two Eskimo Leggs and one Who Made Who Daughter. The one pictured is her first calf. the one above is her second. Her third is a jet black Who Made Who bred to Eskimo Leggs for her first calf.
Shorthorn Bull Calf by Asset out of an Eskimo Leggs Cow. Cow is registered 1/2 Simmental and 1/2 Shorthorn. Can be bought as a bull or will cut him for a Steer calf. He is still on the cow and I will get some Pics when I get a chance. Will provide Papers if wanted. Calf is red and white and...
Don't mean to take over LittleHeifers thread but I will give you some info. Calves are not born early and the bulls have been from 70-75 lbs. The biggest one that I ever had was a 90lb Bull calf out of a simmy cow. She went two weeks over and was a real big Arapahoe cow. He grew like a weed and...
Good Luck with your heifer and your calf. Attached is a picture of a first calf heifer out of Eskimo Leggs and a Who Made Who Cow. The calf is a Rodman (Angus) Heifer calf. My name is Scott Vanden Heuvel and I have a few crossbreds now. Some Simmy, Maine, Chi, Angus and Shorty Blood. I used to...
He has thrown county Fair Champions and Reserve Champions. I had a heifer that was reserve appendix heifer at world beef a couple of years ago. Also have had a couple we showed at Badger Kickoff. Calves are stylish competitors that seem to stay in the herd. Last year I had 4 heifers that I kept...
