Full sister to JF Milestone.....JF Madison 903W. Looking forward to working my partner as we ramp up and re-enter the Simmental industry.

Okotoks....excellent looking sire! I have a lot of respect for the Saskvalley breeding program and the strict discipline applied to management and culling. I have always been intrigued by it. I called them a number of years ago to ask if they were selling any top end females. They told me that...

As long as they don't mate with each other there's no problem. Let's throw Celine Dion and Avril Lavigne into this deal okay?......the above breeding advice applies to them as well.

throw in NFLD and let them keep Alaska....Hawaii is all we want!

Hi Oakview; I think you hit the nail on the head in your second sentence with your reference to leadership. I understand there is a new CSA President now and, I was really encouraged when I read his detailed and thoughtful introduction in the most recent edition of our Canadian breed magazine...

People are people and, they all want to be part of something that's on the move. The Angus breed differentiated themselves and found a way to very successfully brand their product at the consumer level. Great marketing strategy! A flywheel is heavy and it takes time and energy to get it...

If the CSA can afford a full time employee and chooses to move in that direction then (in my opinion) they would obtain a far greater ROI on their investment if they passed on the hiring of a fieldman and instead, focused on bringing in a General Manager with all of the necessary qualities. The...

CLRC is one of the most accurate and respected Registars in the world. What they are not good at is self promotion and competing in the aggressive way that other Registrar services do. I am very much against the Canadian Angus Association's efforts to sell their services and take on registry...

I absolutely hear what you are saying. I walk through the barn in Louisville and unless there are stall cards and farm signs hanging it is difficult to know what breed you are looking at. This is very true.

It's only my opinion but if people want to use TH or PHA carrier genetics then that's just fine. Over time, things either live or die by their own merit. As long as all sires are documented with respect to defects then it really doesn't matter does it? Being a carrier of TH or PHA doesn't make...

Here in Eastern Canada when you drive through the countryside all you see is one farm after another with the fences removed, barns falling apart and former pastures now in grain production. I can't blame people for doing it either; farmers are just trying to make a respectable living and they...

My personal view....and, it's only my personal view, is that every beef breed association should remove all references to colour and let the chips fall where they may. If there is a market for something unconventional in colour within a breed...great. If not, then that producer is stuck with...

Here's a 5 year old cow that won every show in sight as a calf and went on to become an ideal, trouble free cow. That's her 5 month old Swagger bull calf at side. No creep and weighed 755 at exactly 6 months of age. The cow?....a Byland Gold Spear out of an Agribition winning heifer calf from...

Just my opinion here. Collecting information from multiple sources and pooling it into one central database is a great idea provided the information being submitted is accurate. Unfortunately, many breeders don't see the economic value in recording performance information. They don't believe it...

Just to clarify, that Swagger calf pictured was only 6 months old when the picture was taken. And, she was rolling along at 100 lbs gain per month on good pasture with no creep and, when we weaned her off we only fed a modest supplement of grain to bring her into show and sale condition for...

Here's a pic of that Gold Count yearling as a young, lactating cow. Probably the best uddered and most productive individual we produced.

She went on to make a wonderful cow for us. This picture is of her Grand Daughter by HD Swagger; we sold her in Louisville a couple of years ago. Gold Count was a major influence in our modest breeding program. Gold Count, Swagger and Gold Spear had more impact on our success, both in the...

The Revival Sale is just awesome. Steve and Julie French put on a fantastic event. I was there for the first time last year and it was the best consignment sale I can ever recall attending. This is a Gold Count yearling. We used him a fair bit and flushed to him also. The females are wonderful...

I'd call her a freezer order....but that's just my opinion.
