I do think there is a lot more people in the "middle" then on the far end of the spectrum on either side. Also just because some one "shows" their cattle does that automatic make them "show" cattle?

IMO if this is the case then see there is something the show side can bring to the commercial side of the spectrum and help out. I think tracking cow performance is important, If you have 300 cows it would be more realistic to track a cow family performance then each individual cow.

congratulations AJ. 

I can't be there again this year :'( :'( :'( Anyone know of good facebook or twitter accounts to follow for updates especially the shorthorns.

bump anyone got anything.

Thanks that is very insightful.  <beer>

How much hay ground do you think corn and beans took last year? How many people put in a crop hoping for a good year and got burned on hay due to the drought?

And before Simmentals it was Maines. What breed  will be next?

when did ? start meaning the middle finger on steer planet? oops.  Sure ticked a lot of people off.  (lol) Let me start by saying I breed my shorthorn cattle herd (small)  on the show side of the seed stock/show pure bred spectrum of the line. I have not had my feelings hurt by any of the...

I just realized this is a bid-off sale and not an auction. Was this sale always like this?

Amen....This goes for more than just Simmental.

Let me say this before I start getting hammered by someone I just pulled the HW versions and price out of the air I am not sure what ones are actually higher or lower. Next question: If each clone will carry the same possibilities for producing the same calf then why not just use a full...

I am wondering about the "playing".  Young animals "play" as natural practice for surviving in the wild and establishing a peaking order. You should not be participating in any of this with your calves it will promote her butting at you and if she ever feels she wins she will start thinking she...

Then why does heat wave 10 bring less than hw6 &2 but all bring  less than original HW? This from my knowledge is the same with all the clones. If they should "breed the same" why do originals and clones not bring the same?

Well it is a business. I am not sure that is a good business practice and will get you many repeat customers but hay people are in it to make money too. But like you said he is risking getting stuck with it or taking less then if you would sell now.Like they say in the stock market and hog farms...

Anyone have any experience with STF Park Place from select sire on purebred shorthorn cows ? Anyone have any pictures on calves from K-Kim Baseline 80s?  Wernacres Offroad?

What do you guys do with the receipts after they calve?

define "mean"

Why do you care what others think and say? If you are doing it right and only worry about your own program why does it matter what others say? I would say  “There ought to be a better way to do it;” and  "tries to learn from those who are superior to him" leads to a lot of the discussions on...

Mr. ZNT I was not implying in anyway that you where doing any such thing not even close. I took it like you meant it just wanted to add a different point of view to the topic. I did not read rudeness nor condescension in your comments but I do see it from some veteran posters at time.....but a...
