Jody, I'll be glad to let you know as we move along. Right now we're planning to get him collected in the next few weeks.  Assuming he freezes OK we are considering offering semen on him later this spring.  If we do I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks again for inquiring! Joe

He's listed as Hillside Leader, ASA reg #x4135942

Jody, Thanks!  We're hoping that he's going to work out like he looks.  I appreciate you noticing his feet and legs - that's a BIG issue for me and he's pretty good there. Joe

She's just a baby so I'm keeping her hid for a while - my neice may need a show heifer!! <cowboy>

Thanks!  You should see his full sister!

Yes, we bred him.  We've been very fortunate over the years to have developed several bulls that went out to some of the best Shorthorn  herds in the country, but this may be the best one yet.  He's a little different than most of the bulls out today as he is truly bred for practical...

Thanks!  We're sure pleased with him.

Thanks!  He's sired by Matador (the bull in my avatar) and out of a straight Elbee cow.  Matador is a Tex son out of Missie 709 - a PACE performance dam who is also the mother of Massive.  The cow is a Gizmo daughter that goes back to Elbee Darrell on the dam's side.  We think he's bred to be a...

We'll be there. If you need any help with hotels, restaurants, etc., just let me know.  I'm on the University campus where everything is held, so I can help you out if needed.

Thanks to everyone who has inquired about the bull calf we posted pictures of last fall.  He's continued to do well and we've got him running with some heifers - cleaning up after AI.  Since several of you have asked about him, I thought I put up a couple of pics taken today.  Any and all...

Just saw on the ASA site that TM Gus was named Grand Champion bull in Denver today.  Great job Stumpy - he sure looked good in Louisville and I'm glad you stayed with him.  Tell Twig I'll buy him a beer the next time I see him!! Females show tomorrow - but if the Junior Show was any indication...

Scott, She looks like most of the Busters that we got - real easy keeping, soft looking and very maternal.  The two oldest females are making great cows.  Dad picked up some more semen this year to breed all the Matador heifers to - we think that may work real well. Joe

Doc, I thought she looked really good yesterday and could easily have moved up a couple of spots.  She looked like she had more gas left in her tank than some of the ones ahead of her, so things may very well change as time goes by.  She's one that will be fun to play with. Joe

Grant, I really like the Myrtle Bo heifer - she's the right kind north or south of the border.   The Leader 21 heifer looks unique - for me she seems like one of those females that you won't truly appreciate until she's 2-3 years old. She appears in the photos to be acceptable on bone, but I...

If the rumor is true (and I guess they'll find out tomorrow) I agree with JiT, Bert would be an exceptional choice.  I first got to know him when I coached a college judging team and have found him to always be a man of the highest integrity.  And JiT you're right - your skin better be pretty...

Bob, Doc and Malinda are correct.  I've been on various committees over the years and they have always been open to the membership - voting member or not.  I would encourage anyone who's interested to attend and actively participate in the discussions.  If you're not sure of the agenda, contact...

JiT, Try clearing your cookies and your cache - then it should work.

To bring this thing back full circle - and some have kind of hinted at it - over the past 25 years we have dramatically changed the phenotype of the cattle we think are "ideal" - we've brought the frame down a fair amount, gone from "lean and clean" to "soft and loose", we've taken breeds of...

Malinda, Sounds to me like you and your dad were pretty smart cattle breeders!!
