    Mr Colt's first calf Added another calf picture

    I made a mistake. I forgot we had AIed another cow to Colt.  So this is actually the first calf born.  It was a 70 pound heifer out of a Free Bird cow.

    Mr Colt's first calf Added another calf picture

    She resembles the white bulls mother at that age.  We have two calves out of colt now.  The next one was a 70 pound heifer out of a heifer.  It is almost solid red with just a little white in her flank.  She is pretty cool as well.

    Mr Colt's first calf Added another calf picture

    To quote Forrest Gump "life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you will get" and it is kinda that way with Shorthorns. Mr colt must be a genetic roan.  I think you will like his calves.  We will have 4 this fall then 18 next spring.  If they are as good as that white one we will...

    Mixed emotions.

    It is with very mixed emotions we have decided to offer Elbee Throwback for sale at the Shorthorn 500 sale. I was told by a breeder nobody offers proven mature bull of his caliber at an auction. But we feel it is the best way to market him. He has sired Champions all levels, high sellers both...

    Mr Colt's first calf Added another calf picture

    He weighed 87 pounds.  We think he could be kinda right come spring.  He is the funniest little calf I have ever been around.  He like to be scratched.  He will come up and rub on your leg like a cat. His mother was Ryan first show heifer who won her class at the Junior nationals in 2012.

    Opinions on this Heifer

    Looks like a solid female.  Good shape of rib decent length of neck long out of her hip.  The kind we like to have around.  Might be straight up front but couls be the picture.

    New Bull calf

    He is free of all genetic defects.  We have decided to offer semen on him at the Shorthorn 500 sale in October

    New Bull calf

    He is very wide hipped and has the most lower hip as any shorthorn I have ever had.  We think he has a chance to really move our program another step in the direction of big middled sound beef machines.  He has no Trump, Double stuff, or Jakes Proud Jazz. We feel like on our cows he can make...

    Shorthorn feed out tests and Durham red cattle at State fairs?

    We have a Durham red heifer selling in the Shorthorn 500 sale the end of October.  She will end up being a pretty nice calf.  The red angus influenced cattle mature a little slower. At least that has been my experience.

    New Bull calf

    We like this calf pretty well.  He is a Sull Payday out of a Golden Chain cow.

    Worst way to start your day

    The crazy thing about it is the dog did not get sprayed.  He must have caught it then used it like a weapon.  And apparently skunks even big skunks run out of spray because he carried that thing around alive all morning.  The barn my trucks and the back yard all stink but not the dog.  Of coarse...

    Worst way to start your day

    When your corgi carries a live skunk into the feed room with you and then stands there in the only door way out.

    Bred Hiefer

    We have bred Throwback to over 200 cows.  A lot of them were Angus Gelbvieh cross heifers.  Out of black cows all of the calves have been black, out of solid red cows most of the calves have been solid red with just a little white on the udders or flank. But on cows with some color it is like a...

    Here is a Throwback Hiefer

    We will get 4 calves out of Colt the end of September.  So we should know if he is going to be easy calving or not.  We went ahead and bred him to a small group of hiefers.  The red hiefer is a daughter of TMEG Red Advantage out of a Hot Commodity cow and she is bred back to Hot Commodity.  We...

    Here is a Throwback Hiefer

    I have two end of March calves out of RFC Answer that have been pretty popular and then there is a first of april 7/8 red neck roan that is a 1/8 red angus that is just a tank.  Maybe not as good haired but has all the parts.  I have a couple big guys wanting her for their sales. Then their is a...

    Here is a Throwback Hiefer

    You must be mistaken we are addicted to showing heifers like it is crack.  Our problem is we can feed 2 or 3 heifers and a couple bulls and that is all of the man power we have. Lexi has a May that is really nice that she loves, and Ryan has a plus out of his old Angus he really likes.  I let...

    Here is a Throwback Hiefer

    She is a full sister to the bull we won the Junior Nationals with the last two years.  We think she has a chance to be pretty cool.
