One thing I didn’t add is for me I talked to a few commercial guys to let me put eggs in and buy the calves back to market price if I do the work of giving shots cidirs etc

I’ve also thought of this I think it’s a lot on how you plan to manage your recips and if the cow can handle easing two calves you will probably have a good chunk of change in feed costs and possibly calves that are behind

I love proud Mary she has also produced very well I think boots would be up there phenotype wise along with Serena

I personally believe it’s 8543U she is the highest generating cow of all time and produced breed changing sons

For first calf I would recommend lovin size but for all her other calves if she isn’t a carrier I would use only carrier bulls

I would not breed him to heifer I would use lovin size and if she isn’t a carrier I would breed her to IGWT which is a son for her second calf or a IGWT son

He isn’t registered because he doesn’t have enough CHI being a Dakota gold

I wouldn’t worry about it personally I like line-breeding it makes the cattle more consistent I would use HIA HGTA on her if I were breeding or flushing her and to make females I would use maternal made or good as it gets

I can agree with those suggestions but the clubby deal is so far out now that you aren’t going to find a ton or super consistent bulls even HIA throws train wrecks I don’t think you will find a ton of docile ones for Maines I have had a few may we all heifers that are tame and no worries heifers...

What are you trying to raise

I have one Loverboy bull calf he is long necked and deep (most of the depth I would say comes from the mother ) I have heard though that they don’t look great until about a year old but this calf is proving me wrong and I love the chosen one cattle I haven’t seen a ton of tricked out steers that...

The only thing I can say bad about 1OAK is everyone I know that has used him hasn’t had a calf under 90 pounds and that’s used on all ranges of cow types and breed composition

I would also look at may we all and spot on are you wanting to raise show steers with her

In my opinion the best thing to do it practice for the show as much as possible and for the phenotype portion I would say that balance is key the judges like them longer and high tying out of the shoulder blade and deep bellied stoutness and muscle usually isn’t picked on to much if it is it’s...

I completely agree it all depends on breed and what you want to raise I would also look at the may we all son spot on he is out of a great cow
