    Our Monopoly x Built Right bull calf

    He has not been tested, but the only thing he might be carrying is th, from Monopoly. He should be clean of anything else, since the dam is clean.

    Simmental bulls on Angus or maine/angus cows

    Wide Track will do that. I agree with 3C Macho, but also Fatt Butt (Cut Above) or his brother Final Cut.

    Fall pictures

    I thought I would update the pictures on our Monopoly x Built Right bull calf. We weighed him last week, 390 pounds (he is an October). He was very easy to halter break, and has the best personality. I had a nice guy out today looking at spring bulls, and he asked me how much I would sell him...

    FINALLY!

    A heifer!!!! lol. This cow was the 2009 South Central Regional Percentage Champion heifer in Durant, OK at the Simmental regional show. An awesome Macho half blood we bought out of the 2008 Exposure Sale that Christy Collins used to run (1/4 Maine, 1/4 angus). She likes to throw bull calves (ALL...

    Fall pictures

    Here is our attempt at using clubby genetics! He is an October born bull calf, sired by Monopoly. His dam is a good Built Right cow, who we have kept all of the females out of her and the heifer pictured in the first post with her head on the bunk is her granddaughter! Several people have shown...

    Fall pictures

    Boy, it has been a busy year! We completed out the year with our state sale, Fall Harvest, and were happy with the results (we had the high selling animal, a Grandmaster bred heifer that our middle daughter showed). Anyway, we are super excited about not only our spring 15 heifers that the kids...

    Heads Up 20X ET

    We have a super nice 3/4 blood bull out of a Pacesetter cow. I do not have any current pictures of him, but I can tell you he has no white, and at 120 days, I bet he does not weigh much under 500 pounds. He is a horse!

    Dream On Bull

    Our herd is Upgrade saturated, and we are to a point where we have to use bulls with no Upgrade influence. They are the best females we have on the place, and the calves wean off heavy and grow like weeds. The females make outstanding cows! Our 7th overall bred and owned heifer at the Texas...

    HPF Optimizer

    We had our first HPF Optimizer calf. The dam is a first calf heifer, who will not be 2 until January, and calved about a week ago (right on her due date). She is a Steel Force x REN Extra Nice, an embryo we purchased from Mark Benes with Gateway Genetics. The calf was 50 pounds at birth, and...

    JF Rancher

    For us, he is not an outcross because he goes back to Upgrade, Macho and Joy. For an Upgrade, his EPD's are weak. So as much as I like the looks of him, I have to pass. We buy a lot of Select Sires semen, but have stayed away from him. I have not seen any calves out of him either, and being...

    Questions about fall born clubby calves

    I took these tonight, not the best quality (I have an old iPhone 3) but you see his chrome and stoutness. He is just a 9 days old, but he does not look it! His dam was 3rd overall in Iowa as a Pair at the Simmental Nationals several years back (she is pictured behind him). She is one of our top...

    NUMBERS and a "LOOK"

    Good looking heifer! I sure love my Upgrades! As long as you use him on a sound cow, he improves everything! I have several Upgrades in the herd, producing outstanding calves themselves. Every Upgrade bull we have had has sold easy. We have two super Upgrade show heifers that the kids showed...

    Questions about fall born clubby calves

    So, our daughter bred her good Built Right cow to Monopoly (our first clubby calf), and we got a bull calf born about a week ago. This guy is pretty good, I think, with some chrome to go with him. Of course, he is still young, but now I am wondering what do we do with him? We are a seed stock...

    Some pictures of stock

    We are both firefighters, and wanted a maltese cross. We sent our idea to L and H (http://www.lhbrandingirons.com/) and they made the brand doable. It is a bit big because of the detail, so we wait until cattle are at least weaned before branding. Thanks for the comments. The bull has the...

    Some pictures of stock

    We consigned three head to our state sale this year, on November 21st. I had someone over to picture them earlier, and she did a good job. The two heifers have been on just pasture since the State fair in early August, so they are not butterball fat. The two heifers are bred heifers (due in...
