Knabe, don't believe him.

Deppe American Way 563.

Probably Fescue intolerant. Hair extensions if you need a quick fix.

Dr. Jekels (meaning PhDs) trying to prove a theory and then claiming their research findings are worth more money and fit a market.  Isn't this just another example of Frankenfood?  Will McDonald's buy these freaks?  How many restaurant steaks are really needed when most beef is consumed as...

I still think you should flush her reverse sort if you want to maximize the flush for heifer embryos.  Either way, UM or FNG, the heifers you get will be good cows.

I am a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I have used uship.com.  Got along great.

I have to agree with Shortybreeder on the reverse sort, ivf option.  You will get more heifer embryos from any bull you choose.  S&R Round Table will throw about as much bone as any Angus at a reasonable cost.

Agreed, and don't be afraid to line breed.

I saw him at Hawkeye a couple of years ago.  I was surprised at his frame size.  He was one of the taller bulls in the barn, taller than Choppin Wood and Unstoppable and much taller than OCC Rear End.  I am not a judge of frame size, but he was over 6 for sure, but probably not a 7...
