Anyone have results from the sale I cant find them

Here at our place we keep bulls that are maternal bred with performance because by the time we are putting bulls in we are done with AI and embryos its a little late for making show steers so the bulls make our females for replacements and steers for the feedlot. I guess our main question is...

We have a pretty awesome set of maintainer bulls that we are wanting to sell. Locally people just want cheap bulls just to breed cows. They don't seem to care about breeding, performance or what they look like they just want to spend market price. This group of bull comes from a powerful bred...

I heard rumor of market animals at Kansas City tested positive for drug sand premiums were with held. Does anyone know any thing?

Just want to see who purchased him and when and where can the semen be available?

Just wanted to share and get a few thoughts on our Rumor Mill heifer. She is out of a Meyer X Black Bear full sib to Black Jade. We think she is pretty good and are taking her to Ohio State fair prospect show next week.

We had this same problem last year with AI and embryos not sticking and cows not catching for 2 or 3 cycles after AI with the bulls. We did a lot of blood work to find out that our selenium levels were very low. This year everybody gets a shot of muse with lut and cyders and so far (knock on...

Your building is similar to what we have but I have some questions and suggestions. First off why 16' high seems like a lot of wasted space. How do you plan on getting in the pens with a loader? If your dividing gates swing I would put doors at both ends of the side with the pens. If you have...

This is a Rumor Mill X Meyer X Black Bear full sib to Black Jade also have MAB's and Unstoppables coming. We also have MAB and Monopoly coming from our F22 X Full Flush donor

Which has had the best results Grow and shine or the melatonin implants? nowhere on the grow and shine website does it say how much to give per calf per day.

We run a Generac 15000 bought from TSC can run 5 blowers clippers and fans at one time. Our idea was one big enough to run the house during a storm and portable for show. It is heavy but we use ramps to load and it will run for about 10 hrs on a tank of fuel.

Just an update. Today we had 4 groups come through and a few more phone calls. one of them it was for a second look and the others were new to us so maybe we will get along fine. This is the most popular calf today he is a May Unstoppable X Donor 122 (F22 x Full Flush)

The 2 traders and jockeys that we had came mid summer and wanted to take the calves and put them in their own sales and wanted to do it on a percentage after they sold them. like a 60 40 and 70 30 split but we had never even heard of these guys and didn't know if we could trust them or if we...

We have had an online sale the last 3 years and the few that do come we tell them that we want to leave our good calves for the sale and they never come back

Thanks for the input. I always had enjoyed the weeks of running up and down the road when I was showing and still do it now with my kids to show them that it is as much about the people you work with as it is the cattle. As a breeder and seller I enjoy showing them to people talking to them...
