TRY!  (then again it would kinda stink if you end up with a bull calf thats too tall). well we covered a few of em you all think are good cow/everything makers.  any other tried and true ones come to mind (Iv been looking at some shorthorns lately here and there too but in my area theres only a...

I have looked at Taz in ads in the past and liked him.  but iv never seen a calf out of him (cuz noone i know used him), so its good to hear you have used him with positive results.  Many of the older animals i have taken a likely to in the field hail from Pistol Pete (and stout but we have...

only one hereford was as cute as kristy alley, they are kinda an ugly group..

Caesar, payback, dry ice.. A Poll primer first year heifer I was told she looked more like miss moss plus 5 sandwiches when she died in an unassisted birth to the thickest heifer calf iv even seen (my mother sold her for 150 bucks that day) (I have never known anyone of having a cow die and a...

i think thats the same link twice

My witchdoctor animals moved around very well, but they never seemed thick enuogh for me...  is that just my experience? going back the the commercial side... i once placed about 12 head of maine and chi influenced animals in with some Herefords for a winter.  my animals were the king of the...

not to sound smart... but which traits?

I guess i did have a Polled Premier heifer (out of the a stout cow) once.  She was kinda a meany when she was yeaned.  (she was really short though, which seems so odd given her background) i cant speak for the breed, but one of the reasons i thought stout to start with is that iv liked a stout...

Females is really what Id be crossing my fingures for... So I like the info DL (and everyone else too).  I dont think Iv ever seen any Midas... there are a few sires i know little about (I like to think its a sign of youth) again besides the cows I see out in the field (who are impressive) but...

Iv seen some great OLD cows from stout and had some animals that shared him as a grandsire.  Thinking ahead I wondered if he is a good choice or even if seman can be found for a good price anymore or not (really, one could search around but I decided to get some feedback on him and toss the...

payback use to be rated well in the cross breed/culb area.  but comparing him to an angus might be another story altogether.  they tend to have an ok front if i remember rite but the hips can be another story.  plus watch the pha or is the th...

I kinda had a bigger picture in mind with the nimb... More like the biden "they can build them (coal plants) over there but not here" (cuz its a 'warming issue' and we all know that if the theory is true than it would only get hot in china...wait, hmm thats just not true either...joe is just a...

I question if its really policy or nimby. All and all it would be a policy worth concidering.  (the last cookie is always the best and worth the most...). But I really think its enviromentalnazi law makers paired with others scared of how a 15 sec add could make them look like a 'far...

Maybe so. I really look for it to pass either way though. I am taken back at how many yard signs I see on issue 2.

but are there direct relationships between the feed stuff and the look of the muscle on the rail? (after the turnip truck dumped me off I got right to the questions...)

you could have at least tried to make the question seem harder. i mean it would have at least made me feel smarter... lol

trying to figure out what to do with the not so showy ones. Seeking info (fact, research or solid personal experience) concerning feeding operations; their pros and cons.  Such as fattening cattle out on grass (does this really promote frame growth more than muscle?) (several years back I had a...

Its much like committing suicide to evade the fear of death. Fast train or Slow Train. either way you will bleed to death. one just gets you there faster. My feelings as of 3am (cant sleep) is that we should wait, EDUCATE, attack (much like Ohio dove 'hunting' of 98), make it about science labs...

I have heard folks going nuts that their animals were mouthed at being over the age of 2 years (meaning they were then ‘checked’) when their records clearly showed them being much younger. Around 18 months is the role, but…  I would have to guess there are a lot of genetic/environmental factors...
