I wish shorthorns looked like this throughout the breed. They would be more worth using. Especially on Red Angus!

I have to say that most of the LCoC cattle I just can't get on board with from a phenotype standpoint. It's not that they are bad, it's just I have a different preference. There is not doubt Lee is a good marketer, he learned from the best. Just because I don't have the same preference doesn't...

Odd question but with so many people having monopoly steers that they should know the kill data on, does anyone have a grasp on what he does? obviously there won't be any contemporary groups and I know most people don't care... just curious

Thanks for the replies, not sure that it got me any farther though. Not against looking at red devons. Maybe just need another moderate breed to make maternal females. All mentioned would be good. Think I will just keep to the pure reds and chars for now but def will be on the hunt.

My apologies on not understanding there was a large difference between Galloway and Lowlines. The questions really was me thinking out loud about efficiency. Right now I would like to round up recips that didn't take much feed. Long term I think we need to go back to a systems approach to beef...

Hello, For all you small cattle people out there (lowline, galloway, etc) I'm wondering if half blood daughters of one of these small breeds bred to "average" sized angus cattle with the resulting cross being that elusive 1100 pound cow. Would these females be able to calve a moderate calving...

I like him. A lot better fronted than most Tiger cattle. Of course I am a sucker for Freighliner cows though...

Actually that is research based. What you are confusing is dry feed creep vs. creeping or feeding the pair a self fed supplement at a much lower intake rate and minimal labor so taking out both of those factors. Also, it is highly efficient vs dry creep conversion as it is going into muscle and...

Like OH Breeder said if you are selling calves early it will give you the bloom you need. If you are treating it a little more like a commercial operation then the best is to feed the pair liquid feed. The liquid feed helps with NDF digestibility. It will help the cow make more milk but also...

I'm not as concerned about the bleeding, more concerned he couldn't find a cervix. How could she be bred if he didn't find the cervix? Get a professional in there to palpate the tract and see whats going on. The only other thing is when you say "a lot" it illicit images of hemorrhaging. If she...

Ok, I think I'm following you. Your tired of the straight numbers frail bone no muscle ugly cattle in the red breed? Me too. I really like Tim and Julie Shicks program, berry cherry, Loosli right kind 147, and TJS cowboy way Y423 would all be ones to try. I have some et babies that are out of...

Describe your program Cowman, what exactly are you looking for?

My kids like the calves but want some color, and I am super competitive. Should I just buy a pb shorthorn or can I breed up from my registered red angus cows?

I guess I don't have any mature cow pictures of his daughters but I have a couple bred heifer pictures and a calf picture.

His reg number is M792834, says he has no milk but we have about 100 cows in production that would prove otherwise. I do have some pics of daughter that I will post later.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Yes his daughters have been very feminine and broody. The thing that intrigues me most about this bull is that he is sound as a cat. Love his structure. We collected him and have used him on our commercial cows for over 4 years now. Lots of good calves out of...

Let me know what you think

Here is a link: http://www.loomix.com/become-a-dealer/ Loomix is releasing more videos in the coming months about the company and products. Lots of interesting things going on with the company.

1. You are assuming that we have been able to take in the full picture with RFI 2. Genetics cannot solve everything. The more I see the industries ignorance when it comes to nutrition and management will do 10 times to improve efficiency than a flawed measurement. 3. Breed associations are at...

Librarian that is the best answer, that is how I want to raise my boys.
