He doesn't look like I would have expected when you see the farms on Facebook. I expected shorter bodied softer made. More moderate structure. His NAILE pic looks long bodied and as Ryan said very tubular lacking in muscle definition.

A few years back I had a Jazz son. Anything that was a DSC and PHC had deformities to their feet and legs. Some worse than others. PHC cow which we didn't know was positive, had the worst of them all. In my discussions with some of the people who test for defects. PH and DS are close enough to...

What is in your females pedigree? Match your bull to your dam. There are several options available. I will always go to Gizmo. Any time I see his semen I buy it. He was rock solid on calving. I used TM Gus on cow and he is NOT for heifers. Cow had tons of calving ease and it was a light pull but...

Does anyone know anyone who hauls cattle from Oklahoma to Ohio or has a trailer heading out that way? Can you message me or post here. Thanks in advance!

So- I am not a vet but have worked in healthcare all my life. I am trying to figure why they immediately are associating a hernia with the descent of the testicle. Unless it is suggesting a weakness in the abdominal wall that allowed the testicle to descend in the first place. They do have mesh...

I saw Stock Broker when he was purchased at Ohio Beef Expo. WOW he was a stout one. He was one of the naturally thick bulls there. He was sound and had just on of thickness. With a cow like that, I can only imagine how thick the calves would be. I liked the bull alot. This is my personal...

A bull for a cow of her statue that was used a ton to make some beautiful females was Hannibal. He is a WMW son. He will add extension and little more length of body and some leg. Many times when I see someone take a cow that is compact and super stout and breed compact super stout bull you can...

besides color what do you think each cow needs. its always hard to evaluate from pictures-downsizing, more muscle? Are you wanting to make clubby calves, replacement females etc?

If it were me One have the vet examine her for fertility etc. We wait on our show heifers to calve til they are three. They seem to have less dystocia and we make them shed the pounds so we can manage the weights. Show heifers sometime are just too hog fat for breeding purposes. I have a...

If its her first project the basics mean more than having a 10K calf. We intentionally bought a green calf this past season and he has steadily excelled and placed higher and higher in class. We started out behind stood in bottom third by December he was middle and this past March in was in the...

I was kinda scratching my head in agreement. I would have to ask did he come out of a pasture that was poor doing? Was he creep fed on pasture or just straight cow? Calves should come off cow in good condition if the dam is doing half the work. Pasture or supplement should have helped him...

IS the angus sire a red carrier as well? Brilliance? Know nothing about him.

I don't think you should keep your photos to yourself. Everyone has an opinion. As previously stated you can view the picture in one dimension. The viewers mind immediately draws assumptions based on the presentation of the bull flat without 3 dimensional view. With that being said. I like the...

The dream on daughter we have crosses well with anything i put on her. She is deeper sided and moderate size but throws very nice calves.

I would go back Maine on her. She has plenty of bone and mass. Plenty of hair. I would look at some of Bushy Park's bulls. I like the little used son Boomer the full brother to sooner. But they have a battery of higher percent maines.
