The recep cows were not the issue. My other calves, which were picked up at the same time, were perfectly fine.  The cows are gentle, and believe it or not, the cow owners said that these calves were always nuts in the pasture. I understand that calf behavior can be learned from the momma cow...

I can not let this one go without my 2 cents worth. I bought a flush from CF out of their Casino cow and used Primo upon recommendation from CF. When I used him his calves were SUPER INSANE CRAZY.  I mean totally unbreakable, nuts, and just plain psycho.  The heifers were pretty necked but...

Apparently Iowa's fourth string is better than Missouri's starters!  Go Hawks!!! Next year is going to be GREAT!!! Next year will be interesting... I think there will be some huge surprises. As for the OH St players, I am willing to bet they will not see the campus next year.... They had good...

I think your on the right track! You have a nice herd of RP and are starting strong in the RA's.  You have a good plan! When comparing the two, which have better maternal ability, and which is more docile?  Are you thinking the Gelv will add some meat and bone?

Some of the suggestions are not defect free. So be careful. I might go with OCC or Duff angus genetics.  They would add correctness and thickness, while maintaining maternal ability and easy fleshing ability.

As with the other post wanting a red bull, we need more information to make a good sound recommendation.... what do you want to produce? What are the cows you are breeding? To make a recommendation without knowing those variables is shooting in the dark at best, and irresponsible at worst,  IMO.

problems

Too little information to make a suggestion. What are the heifers your breeding as far as breed, or pedigree? What are your plans for the calves? What is your management type? Without knowing that vital information, I would suggest a few red angus, so if your interested, let me know.

He seems to slope from hooks to pins. Maybe a wee bit heavy in the shoulder and a bit high flanked? Looks like a nice easy keeping steer, but doubt if he will go American (as you stated).

In my neck of the woods, we use Limmi's. You say creek, we say crick. Same thing. I think the person who started this post needs direction on maintaining a good relationship with their calf so they can have a fun and successful show season. showstopper, Pretty big comments about my spelling...
