I was kind of hoping for a little more, I don't have enough I got more than enough I could sell you some. This is a "community", must not be as bad as reported. I would love to offer some but I have just enough( I hope) and not very good quality, I am having to supplement.

This is a great thread thanks Jamie!!!

Well you know when I started on here the threads of the time was how certain guys on here were to hard and rude to the newbies running them off. I will admit I have not seen what you are talking about anymore than usual. You always get the newbie that post the question he already knows the...

Back to my original point, I am not saying anyone on this thread is not experienced cattle people but when I started I was not( and still am not). I did not fully realize when I first started studying and shopping that it is more than just genetics to be successful in the cattle industry and...

OK I bow to the professional cowman. I start with stock yard scrubs and buy a couple generations of great bulls and make my cows excessively huge bodied, huge utters, straight legged and hopefully some day I too will be a professional cowman. Let us keep our fingers crossed (angel)

Ok I will bite, I am here to learn.( I feel like I am on big bang theory  and everyone is yelling at me for asking Sheldon why) but what is the difference in breeding to improve your cows weakest traits (I thought would be a no brain-er) and breeding to "your ideal". It seams that trait and...

Farm.com is reporting that if current usage of hay continues US will be completely out by May according to some annalist  !!! OCJ reported a truck load (pick up truck bed) went for 450 dollars right before Christmas. What is everyone's thoughts? How is your hay supplies holding up? How many...

good luck.  (clapping)

Keep us posted. With hay being tight I know there is a lot more grazing of corn fields and rolled stalks being fed this year.

I can agree a good bull can improve any cow's calf crop but a good bull on a  good cow that the mating compliments each others weaknesses and improves them will be a better calf than a good bull on a bad cow's calf. You can put a great beef bull on a jersey cow and a great beef calf it will not be. 

A good cow family is only 25% of the equation. 25% cow 25% bull 25% feed and development program 25% marketing and selling to people who will take the calf to the next level.Best advertisement is to sell calves that work for your customers.  Just because you buy a top of the line cow families...

Not to be Mr. Obvious but how small is the cow? You could be setting yourself up for a disaster if you start breeding bulls to add frame and size in an 1100 lb cow. IMO. Make sure you check any documented bw.

Thanks, I have been sending my half way across the country and there is one right here in Ohio.

If you don't sale your product who will? At least you put your money where your mouth is and invested in your advertisements. Good luck, wish I could be there. someday

Great bulls never completely  leave the farm ;) they give you great daughters that keep a piece of him around forever.  ;D

" but posting things about people that cant defend their self is wrong" call me wacky but did you not just "defend" yourself? it is all right here to see, accusations and public feed back. Mistakes have consequences. In the old days and still today this would go around the rumor mill and...

Nice. (thumbsup). way to be proactive and get your name out there. Really nice. Good looking cattle in the pics don't hurt either ;).

where are you located. their will be several sales this spring and more in the fall.

All he has to do is not use pictures of other people's calves, not lie to people when they call asking about calves he doesn't own and not be a dis-honest cattle man that gives the whole industry a bad name.  Won't be long people will start saying show calf sales man instead of used car!!!.  :o ...
