    Charolais cows

    What is the bull? In your Avatar pic?  Use unstoppable to maintain structural integrity, rib and moderation.  Cows need to be cool fronted.  He also has more power than Monopoly.  MAB won't moderate enough.

    Dakota Gold

    You should never fully trust online auctions.  I would say plenty of semen lots never actually sell they are trying to artificially inflate the price of a certain bull.  It doesn't really cost them anything to put in phantom bids and it's very easy to do.  Just ask and they'll do it for you.  If...

    Dubai, Grizzly Bear, or Whizard

    Look at older bull Tugboat. He's a Meyer angus power plant.  He's proven for what you want.  I have used Dubai and would say no.  I would say Grizzly  out of the other two just based on pics and pedigree.

    determining whether a heifer is a freemartin

    There is a 90% chance she won't breed.  We have had one that did but one this year did not have a reproductive tract when I palated her as a supposed to be bred.

    Mature herd bull photos

    It's cool to see these really good shorthorn cattle.  Not used widely enough I bet.

    Superstar Brahman Bull

    I think I have some.  I have tried him on normal good cows but he needs to be bred to a Small rhino cow to work.  I would probably sell some if I do.  I bought 60 way back.

    PURINA FULL CONTROL

    Yes it is expired. You should return it. The problem with that feed is that if not enough people are using it, then there is not enough volume moving and it will never likely be fresh.  A good product but one of the core feeds like Fitters edge would be better in your area.

    Houston Steer Judge

    Got home to see what the word was on Mark.  I think he went out of his way to make sure every calf got a hard look.  Pulled every calf that was close.  Nailed the mic and was truly humbled to be there.  That's the best job I've seen in a while.  Maybe not quite the emphasis on structure that I'd...

    Bull Calf Rectal Prolapse

    It happens alot on bigger bull calves that think they are ready to breed.  $20?  It would have been $200 here.

    Firewater

    He's a purebred so they don't look stout and clubby as babies but get better with age. If you want a club calf, you'll need to breed him stout.  They might add a touch of frame but probably keep similar to cow.

    What do you think of Fort Worth Steer Show?

    I am not a proponent of changing judges.  Even though I may not agree with them, I like to see them through and let them express their opinion.  One thing needs to be done here.  They simply need to fix the way cattle are prepped and enter the ring.  Possibly have three lanes in prep pen and...

    Mkt Steer Premiums - San Antonio versus Houston?

    San Antonio has gotten better.  It's whatever they bring in ring.  Could be 3500 to 6500.  Houston is set depending on placing with additional being added usually when check comes.  2500 for placing with 1000 to 1500 added later.  5 or 6 thousand for class winners and around 3500 for 3rd.  These...

    What do you think of Fort Worth Steer Show?

    The problem with the way they manage the prep ring and ramp is it results in your needing to be rude, ruthless, and downright mean in most cases if you want to be toward the front.  Those are not attributes I'm trying to teach my nieces, nephews, and kids.  They need to fix that part of the...

    Problems feeding Glu Coat?

    I think Heavy Weight is a derivative of Milk Replacer possibly.

    Man among boys?

    Yes he was not a dink, good foot and bone, good shape, and attractive.  He sires more substance than his daddy but maybe not as soft and Angus like.

    Problems feeding Glu Coat?

    Had same problem.  Tried it on 3 different ones.  Wont eat it.  Try Power Fuel from Purina.  It is a fat nugget.  Also may try Heavy Weight from them.  They don't eat it as good but after they get on it, some seem to like it.
