Hi everyone! Hope y’all are doing well during these crazy times!
Just bought a few cow calf pairs. Some were 8-9 years old. Found a set of teeth in the feeder this morning. Online it says cows won’t lose teeth until 12 years of age. Please take a look at the pic and let me know your thoughts...
Results from the Penn State Bull Test on the top Angus, Simmental, and Simangus. Also showing the full test results for the Simangus from my farm. He's the only Calving Ease bull in the Simangus category and had a YW of 1461! He's an HA Cowboy up out of a Ruby's Wide Open cow. Also has a blaze face.
Does anyone have any pictures of calves/yearlings sired by FAIR Lucky? Are his birth weights reasonable where his heifers would make good replacements? Thinking about using him on a few 1500-1600 lb, purebred Simmental cows. Any thoughts or pictures are appreciated!
Primary Candidate - I saw him in person and he's very impressive. Really flexible, outcross pedigree! A daughter sold at the PA Fall Classic and she was above average for sure!
W/C Fully Loaded - Always safe with a Lock N Load son from Wernings. Great Cattle!
Best of luck with the Shell...
Thanks. For the record that is the seller’s trailer, not ours! His front feet are the thing that concerns me the most. They turn out slightly. Is this a big deal or common?
Hi, I'm looking to hear the positives on negatives on the sim bull i just purchased. We are just getting into the show game and want to learn more about what to look for in an animal. Please feel free to give critical feedback if there is something you do not like about him! We just want to...
Good afternoon,
One of my goals for 2019 is to improve the yield in my current pastures and build a few more pastures so my cattle can graze for a few extra months each year.
Current pastures do well but have a fair amount of weeds that really start taking over after the cows graze down the...
We just had our first HA Cowboy Up calf last week. He was born unassisted at 82 lbs. Got right up and started sucking. He's growing like a weed and we are really impressed with him. His mother is a baldy Simmental out of Ruby's Wide Open. We plan to use Cowboy up on a few Simmental cows again...
Here is a one month old heifer out of a WLE Uno Mas first calf heifer. Her father is our young herd bull who's Yardley High Regard x HPF Delightful. She's stout, wide based, and has lots of hair. Birth weight was 70 lbs.
With all of the good options in the Angus bred. I'd suggest selecting a Angus that has the traits you're looking to add. If you plan on retaining females find an Angus with good maternal traits. Retain the 7/8 AN and 1/8 SM daughters and cross them to a PB Simmental bull. In our herd we keep PB...

Here are a few i took yesterday. Hard to believe she's only 11 months old... She's in the middle of the last picture between our HPF Sazerac x TKCC Classified heifer and a bred heifer from Pine Creek Show cattle.
