Most are too young to remember but the some of the best bull pictures were taken by a man who signed his name Walt Browaway{im sure that not correct spelling]most all the AI catalogs had his pictures back many years ago and some of those bulls had plenty of help.The trends have changed but we...

I have a real nice Milkman smokey steer that is an April would slick shear and not high priced call 405-747-0352 or 515-290-4336 The reason we still have him is he is not hairy enough for the steer jocks.His mother has raised several competitive steers and came from Remingtopn Ranch in Canada.

Meyer 734 was unique in that his picture wasn't what made him famous.His offspring from the right kind of Angus cows was where he really worked.His color pattern,horns,and performance fiqures made many Sim breeders not use him as much or not at all.Then when semen and possession became an issue...

Looks like a nicely presented heifer.To me a true market heifer should look just like the steers.Breeding heifers need to be have a broody look and a longer flatter muscle,be sound and be feminine and have an attractive ring presence.Yours looks to be moderate and thick.The judge will be main...

Last spring after not having any problems for several years we started to have problems after a cold wet spell and we gave every calf some liquid DeCox even though some said they should not have it at two weeks of age and problem was solved.We didn't lose any but did give some electrolites to some.

Sorry RMB the first 5 animals are not natural unedited shots.Removing halter I would call editing.

Probably the most read thread in a while.Glad you got things resolved and the P.R. that Traush received from this had to hurt.I did look at their online heifer sale and Carolyn took much better pictures.Besides having good cattle you need top pictures and videos plus a decent reputation. Enough...

Lots of good bulls but on a 4 way cross your predictability is limited.i-80,MAB,JPJ, W/A all might work but the better the cow the better the calf.I have a neighbor that tries hard to A-I his cows to popular name bulls but they are low quality and He asks why he doesn't have better calves.They...

Telos what is the story on bull and how much did he bring.I agree his structure and movement are excellent.

Larissa,looks like your bull has done what you expected Congratulations.Picture taking is an art just like clipping and the ones that do it well get paid well as they can make an animal look almost perfect.An amateur picture is still the same calf but if not good no one will look or will...

Udder size doesn't always mean extra milk.Cows with adequate udders and nice teats will last longer in your herd.We have all seen what happens when there is too much milk and large teats.We also know what happens when milk production is too much as nature has a way of balancing things.They have...

RMB  from past experience your best and cheapest option is the County Attorney assuming it was transacted in the state you live in .It will cost around $85 to file at courthouse .There will be a hearing and judgement rendered.Problem then is collecting judgement.You can not go to someones place...

The dam will also have a big influence on what kind of mother your heifer will make.I have leased him the past two years and Phil said he is starting to show his age this winter but I had as many saleable calves out of him as any bull and not one cripple plus no calving problems that some people...

To me the best size is a cow that will raise a heavy quality calf on the feed available and be bred everyyear.I cant believe by the pictures how far from frame score 3 to frame score 8+ we have thought were ideal at the time.I do know that every time I see a top 10 rate of gain parade cattle are...

Glad it worked out.The horse whisperer method works better in print on some animals and also some children.Sometimes you need to get their attention first.

Every picture gets better as the real maternal and excellent care shows.Having had the opportunity to judge many shows I think my favorite is the cow/calf division especially if they were shown the year before as a heifer.No matter how much experience milking and optimum breeding traits are...

-4 degrees in Ia on Thanksgiving would shorten some fall calving ears Some people use nylon stockings and I have seen some duct taped.I think Sullivans have had some in past.I have also seen body blankets for small calves.We have found that a protected area with a heat lamp or infra red heat...

My thought is a lot of good cows produce excellent calves until they are 10/12+ years.Probably the equivilant of a 40+ year old lady and being around 70 they still look real good. Congratulations you do have a very nice excellent producing cow.Alot of younger cows don't last long as you really...

There is not one calf no matter how good worth hurting someone for.I agree with each post and usually those type of calves are easy to spot before purchase just by their behavior.A calf that has too much attitude usually has his head up and will look showy but my experience has been they aren't...

If some of the people who are negative would post their name and PH# they would never say a thing.Unfortunately the computer board is a place where people can write untruths and some people are gullible enough to believe them.RW I admire your sticking up for yourself.
