We have a bull calf out of JWR out of a Draft Pick cow. He is less than 8 weeks old right now, but so far he is very impressive. I am also interested in info on White Boy. As far as JWR goes we will use him alot more.

We had a heifer with it out of Cherry Bomb. She was gorgeous as a calf till this developed. She didn't make it past 500 pounds before we sent her to the slaughter house.

We have a bull calf out of him. He is only 40 days old so we will see what he'll become. But right now he is one of the best looking calves I have ever seen at this age. We are breeding his mom back to him and would have used him more if it was earlier in the season.

Well they changed our forcast for today (imagine that!) now we are supposed to hit 95 or higher. That's a 32 degree increase in two days. The cows don't like it at all, my son's market steer left feed for the first time. Last week we had highs in the 50's, our corrals and alleyways were 6 inches...

We had a high of 63 yesterday and are supposed to hit 93 tomorrow. For us this is a big change for this time of year. Way too hot too fast, we haven't had the time or the need to pull out the fans yet. Will be getting them going early tomorrow morning.

I have a cow that is only 2 days overdue, no big deal. But other than the colostrum is there any concerns over 2 other calves nursing on her? We moved her as soon as we saw it. Could it cause hormonal changes and delay labor? I really don't think so but was just wondering. Thanks in advance

It's topics like this one that I like so much about this forum. Everyone is so helpfull and willing to share a few secrets. (clapping)

Thanks everyone! OH, yes we would like to stay black and white. As far as Th and PHA she hasn't been tested. Given her breeding I am assuming the worst as ++. Should have already had several tested, but will need to breed before it can happen this year. So we should stay clean on the buls for now.

Thanks OH, just what I wanted to hear. Already ordered a few straws, but I think I will call and increase that order. THANK YOU

Does anyone know or heard anything about him. I have a couple of possitive cows that I would like to be able to bring in that Heat Wave line into. Any info or other ideas are appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Shortdawg, I have concidered Jakes Proud Jazz. Would like to end up black and white, afraid he would give us red. Maybe something more maine or clubby. Thanks Zach, We have some Sunseeker in the tank, he is definetly in the running. I think almost any bull would downsize her. Any more...

My son has a large framed Maine / Shorthorn cross cow that could use a little down sizeing. Breeding is Eskimo Joe/ Titliest, Pay Off. Nice cow, great markings-black with some chrome, won every AOB show she was in as a heifer. Has a WMW heifer calf by her side now, very nice calf as long as you...

Has anyone seen any Shock Wave calves? interested in him since he is TH free and PHA free out of Heat Wave.

Used to keep busy chasing 164 reg. angus all over the county, now taking it easy with just 12 high % maines, 3 maintainers and one poled hereford thrown in to make it interesting. The hereford by the way had our best calf so far this year, a bull out of Ali. (clapping)

Thanks everyone. I can't wait to see these calves in a week or so, but I'm going to wait and see before I use him again this year.  (thumbsup)
