    Flushing THC to a THC

    I find this an interesting topic. I would not want to do this intentionally but i bet many are.  The great calves and  bulls are usually THC which means they got it from one parent but that parent doesn't pass it on to every calf. So if you got a THC bull and THC cow there is a 25% chance the ...

    Favorite Breeds?

    I would have to say angus if I were to pick one breed. In the midwest the color seems to make a difference sometimes and you can breed them to anything. I have mostly angus cross females and clubby raised bulls but I would prefer a cross over a straight bred.

    Share-A-Beef program

    Senate expected to pass debt plan, end crisis Tuesday

    I agree 100% and I won't start rambling about how frustrating the entire government is but they lack any common sense what so ever> I could go on and on but there needs to be a drastic change or else my son who is 1 is going to be living in a lot worse off country than I have lived in.  This...

    Animal Names?

    My uncle used to name his bulls after something or someone that was popular or talked about the time when they were born.  This has been years ago but a couple that come to mind was Swartzkopf and Desert Storm.  I named my herd bull T-Majic (hence my name on her) . The reasoning behind the name...

    Co-op Herds

    I don't have any experience with this. I have cows I would love to do ET with, but don't have the time to promote calves or show the calves and only have 50 head. I do however have a bull that I would like to do the same thing with as far as semen. To me the best way to promote a bull is to have...

    THF state fair grand champions??

    I read most of the comments on this topic and I would have to say that I checked my bulls this year because of the Th and Ph. I knew they werent Ph I guess but I don't want to take the chance of having a Th calf if I know my herd bull is positive carrier. I only have a couple cow that could...

    Opinions on Heifer
