    What to use on First Calf Heifers

    Thanks for the interest in Slider.  Slider is a very uniquely bred bull with a proven Angus pedigree.  He is a son of Northern Improvement out of a Duff New Edition Dam.  His Grand Dam is an EXAR Lutton daughter giving Slider a second shot of Northern Improvement.  I would think his daughters...

    Trying to find a bull to breed with heat wave daughters.

Northern Improvement on a Duff New Edition Exar Lutton dam.  Should calve easy and make very marketable...

    ear tag issues

    I cant be more frustrated with the current manufacturers of cattle ear tags.  They have been turning out cheap junk! We have tried every brand and have even double tagged cattle putting one in each ear.  We tag them when they are being bred and are lucky if they last long enough to tell if they...

    Duff Angus Bulls

    We have been using Duff genetics on club calf cows for years.  Have also used them on Angus for making purebreds.  It has always been our belief that a good cow will have a solid Angus base.  The Duff bulls will do alot of things very well that other Angus bulls will not.  They are stout, thick...

    angus cattle (take a look)

    We have several Bushs Montana Truck females in the herd and are still breeding to him today.  I think he might be one of the best kept secrets in breeding the "right kind" of Angus cattle.  I would think the future of the bull calf could be limitless.  Northern Improvement genetics crossed with...

    Japanese Minitrucks

    Anyone out there using one of these as a chore vehicle.  We have looked into getting one and was wondering if anyone had any experience.  It looks to me like you could get very good fuel economy, stay out of the weather, and feed round bales or whatever on a farm or ranch.  I sounds like you can...

    what is your worst mating?

    Our biggest bust of the calving season is a draftpick bull calf out of a heartbeat cow.  The cow never misses and we actually had this mating a few years ago and got one of the neatest hereford colored bull calves you cound imagine.  This calf is as tall and lanky as you can make one.  No guts...

    Time to wake up America!

    Every now and then something will happen that will make you think "What the heck is going on here?"  Tonight, on world news tonight, former President Clinton gave an interview discussing the fact that he had gone Vegan.  He was basically trying to convince others to follow his lead because he...

    best and worst buys

    I have to add some additional products.  I bought a used Kubota B7100 diesel tractor with loader and FWD.  What a handy machine!  It is smaller than most 4 wheelers and will do many more jobs.  Very handy for fencing, cutting firewood, pushing snow, walking cattle, moving bale wagons, mowing...

    the value of line breeding

    It is doubtful that you would find genetic mutation.  You may however discover some traits that are undesirable.  However, you may also find traits that are very desirable.  The importance of linebreeding is to realize that the offspring become more homoztgous and more predictable breeders, that...

    the value of line breeding

    There was a fairly long thread on this topic and the discussion was very interesting.  I agree that line breeding does not create genetic defects.  What it does is reveal them.  I know alot of breeders that are afraid to linebreed because they are afraid they will get some genetic mutant.  That...
