Thank you Lynn for taking a look and your comments.  Many of the mothers of these bulls go back to KL Double Duty 6294, several are linebred daughters.  9610 is out of a granddaughter of 6294 and a 1/2  blood Connealy FrontPage(Angus)/Double Duty son.  9609, 9610, 9611, 9617 are 3/4 bloods all...

Thanks, guys.  Coyote, we are not taking bulls to Denver.  As for 4508, we can only seem to have heifers out of him.  Not a problem, as it appears he will make some great females.  There were two in the spring, and I think they are both in the very topcut.  I know Gary has pictures of his...

We have put most of our 2011 bull catalog videos on YouTube.  The rest of the performance and ultrasound data are available at out website www.lovingfarms.com and shortly they will be linked to YouTube.  Until then, visit out channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/lovingfarms?feature=mhum.  We...

Looks like a good one, Stumpy.  Good luck with her.

Didn't realize his picture wasn't on our website anymore. KL Double Duty 6294

We have tried to get away from bulls, and really females for that matter, that are quick growers and then never stop.  In saying that though, I know we are using bulls that are really quick to weaning and then the  growth curve really slows and we have used bulls that are a little slower to...

I apprecitate your comment on the cows on the website.  We have worked to produce cows that are 5-5.5 frame and 1200-1300 lb mature cows.  Now in saying that, I will say that some of the older cows are a little bigger, and some of the youngest genetics will be smaller in frame or weight or both...

AJ- I think that pen caught the low of the cost of gain and the high end of the market.  $.62 to feed, out at $.96, not hard to make a living.  Just wish it would have been a larger pen.  Oh well, such as life. TG- These steers were all out of Double Duty 6294 sons or grandsons.  The mothers...

AJ I believe the pen referenced was our set of fall steers that were harvested in March.  The closeout cost of gain was $.62, but I don't know for sure what the average for the yard was at the time.  I do know that the owner of the yard said that there were a lot of feeders at the time that...

Hey Davis, thanks for the reminder about posting directions.  I was needing to do this because there is a little road work if coming off of K4 highway and there is a little detour.  The directions from McCracken on K4 are: North on K-4 3.5 miles and follow the curve west 2 miles and turn north...

Sue, we would like to have you out, whenever you make it out this way.  Hopefully, Oct. will be much, much cooler and they would be way better anyway.  The invitation is good for anyone else as well.  We love to ride around, visit and look at cows. 

Glad to hear you can find time in your busy schedule Troy, lol!  Should be able to make a car work just fine, unless it rains then a monster truck may be more acceptable  (lol).  Either way, we would take the rain in a heart beat.  The roads at McCracken get a little greasy when wet, but we can...

Legacy 9533 is out of 7010 who was a son of the old 23g bull and one of the most consistent Blue Gate High Hope daughters we have.  We only had 7010 here through the summer 08 breeding season and then one of our best commerical customers saw  him in the fall and had to have him.  We made the...

I don't know about horseback, but he was talking some wheelcorrals out in the pasture.  I just hope the heat backs off a bit.

Hoyt glad you are going to try and make it. Prestige is the Jazz/Eagle 148 from JSF and we also have calves by Kaper 4508 and our linebred Double Duty grandsons.  Should be a good time!

I am excited to see how that turns out for you, we will have him up there.  He has handled himself very well considering the number of females he has bred since the first of the year.  I think his calves have exceeded expectations to this point, there will be around 30 of them to look at.

I hate to hear that TG would have like to have you.  Davis it will be good to see you again.

After a few phone calls about the status of the tour, I thought SteerPlanet would be the best place to invite everyone and post the details of the event.  The tour will be August 14 and will start at our ranch north of McCracken, Ks with breakfast at 8am and the tour to start at 9.  We will then...

Maybe we are the exception to the rule, but as we have linebred a bull that consistently lowers BWs, we have documented at least 5 years on steadily increasing pelvic measurements in yearling heifers.  When we started, are pelvics were consistently averaging 190+/- and now are in the...

AJ- I don't think we are going to bring the bulls, I just didn't get the work done.  It has been a long fall and the bulls look good, but just not quite ready for a trip off the ranch.  Dale-I can appreciate your observations on front ends in females, but we sometimes fail to remember the...
