    American Royal places to stay and eat?

    Not exactly sure, but I think the KC BBQ is dry rubbed and typically topped off with a sweet tomato BBQ sauce where the Texas may just be dry rubbed.  Also, KC BBQ is a lot of pork and yard bird while Texas is almost always brisket.

    American Royal places to stay and eat?

    Near the Royal  I would opt to stay on the MO side of KC.  Cruiser has listed some good options.  On the KS side seek out Woodyard BBQ for something a bit less mainstream.  Young Guns BBQ on the north side is good too.  Country Club Plaza is nice if you like upscale shopping and restaurants. ...

    Thoughts on a maternal mating with this donor cow!

    I would look for a Simmental.  JS Burning Up or Chopper possibly.  I really like the cow and Anarchy, but I would avoid crossing her up too much for the sake of consistency.

    Bull calves "accidentally" banded

    I was always told by our vets that it would take at least 45 minutes before the bands would cause necrosis.  Sounds like Terry has had success with over an hour.  I think I would chance feeding the bulls.  They didn't use an emasculator, right?

    Bottle Calves

    While a nice idea, I think you really need to put a pencil to paper to see if it will work cash wise and also evaluate if you have the time.  These calves take alot more time than one might think.    Make sure they have had colostrum, have dry navels, feed them a milk based replacer, and keep...

    R&J Maxima was a great bull in his day, but I think the bull mentioned is most likely this bull. http://www.topsires.com/bull-pages/maxi.html

    Need angus help

    This was bugging me so I went to the library.  Sure enough in the Feb. 1985 Angus Journal, page 133 there was an ad for MR. T.  AAA 10348273  Good one Dr. Plum. Mr. T Stats, bw=74, ww=712, Adj 365=1156. Semen was listed at 50/straw or 100 for two straws and one certificate.  Huge money in 1985...

    power plant

    For a 1980's bull he is OK.  Nice clean fronts, but a bit tight wound.  In the mid -1990's Dave Faber harvested his dam's ovaries to create some oocytes for ivf.  I am not sure that worked at that time.  I agree with Telos that Miles has made better Maines since then.  Monkey Mouth could be an...

    How long to wait after cutting bull to show?

    14 days would be a minimum, but you should be good to go.  21 days would be better.

    Angus bull for hip, bone, and neck...

    Two young bulls to consider: SCC First n Goal, solely based on his full sister, no calves yet Dameron First Impression, check out Lots 117 and 118 in Express Ranch's Big Event catalog. Wow is all I can say. Lut, but at 200 a straw, might be a bit too pricey.

    NAME THE BULL!

    I was digging around trying to find out why Krugerrand of Donamere 490 is no longer listed in the Angus database when I stumbled upon his sire. I have seen all the bulls in the past, but Stacker was a tough one.  Funny that Stacker (Donamere's sire) and Krugerrand Moneyline and Merger (Donamere...

    Myty in Focus

    If you are looking at solely ABS proven sires and you are wanting the cherry as well I think you have to take a hard look at Brilliance or Final Product.  Upgrade and Hoover Dam if you can't settle on one of them.  OK, I admit that I hate In Focus' front end, but if you want to go that route I...

    Penn St. Punishment. Thoughts?

    I do think the school should be punished and I have to agree with the NCAA.  Football was bigger than doing the right thing in this case or cases and Top to bottom, everyone failed.  When the community and university let football, a game of entertainment, take precedence over the well being of...
