Hey, Sorry I just now replied. You can look in the Showbox magazine November online issue for info

There is a TCCA show in McKinney sponsored by Princeton FFA this Saturday that gives good prizes

That is a good brahman bull, but there are a LOT of good brahmn bulls nowdays. In my 8 years of having Santa Gertrudis cattle, I've pulled one calf and that was my fault for not know how to feed a bred yearling to minimize the chance of a 100 lb calf. I don't have the time or sanity to worry...

Cattle not eating and drinking at shows is part of the game. There are HUNDREDS of ethical practices and techniques to take care of these situations. Pumping is a cowardly way of solving a problem when a little knowledge and work can get the same results, and I could absolutely care less if I...

I have never raised club calves, however  I have kept up with the industry for many years. I Am Legend is one of  the best club calf bulls I've seen in quite some time. I am considering using him in a cross program with my Santa Gertrudis to raise what we call Star 5's (50% Santa Gertrudis). Any...

Pumping for the purpose of anything but the health of an animal is unethcial, plain and simple.

I find beet pulp more useful as an everyday product and use winning fill while at shows since it tends to be more appealing to them. 

The decline in emphasis on soundness has direct correlation with the continually increasing popularity of club calves.

I NEVER guarantee any of the cattle I sale to win anything. You can have the best heifer (or steer) to ever put 4 legs on the earth and still get mowed down at a show, whether it be a jackpot show or a major like Houston. Throwing out guarantees is asking for yourself to be proven wrong.

The roaning on the lower hip is from them continually laying down on one side and the hair dying. I have quite a few which are like that. The TT heifer you mentioned was was roaning out all over (by roaning out we mean white hairs popping up everywhere). The heifer was allowed to keep her class...

Alright, let me answer some questions and clear the air. Santa Gertrudis are allowed to have white switches and variations in color. There are Gerts from blackish cherry red to yellow. We however do have very strict breed standards regarding issues such as white on our cattle. There can be no...

minimizing structural soundness and frame score...worked real well

Throw some snow on that first bulls hip and you'd have a wicked back slope

Very impressive bull. Lot of turn and shape to his rib..I think he's pretty unique.

Yep, thats the one called Supernova with the white spot in the middle of her head. Jamie and I own this bull with Liberty Ranch

She is actually a purebred that came out with too much white. Jamie Stephenson exhibited her in TCCA shows last show season and she won a lot, even against true Star 5's and the fake ones people are hauling. I have a full bro and full sister that came out solid red. I've retained both for my...

Thank ya'll. I appreciate him for having that clubby style I try to breed into my heifers. It's hard to find them freaky fronted and stylish while still maintaining the power he possesses. He's sound as a cat too. He was calf champion bull at the Louisiana State Fair which was his first show...

Many of you might have a misconception or lack of familiarity with the Santa Gertrudis breed. Just for fun, I'm sharing a photo of our newest herdsire prospect with you. Keep in mind he's green (May 2010 model). I am usually a pretty lethal "picture taker" but that T-Post wasn't cooperating and...
