Correct.  A good bull, even by today's standards.

Close, 707 is in his name.

Champion: Buchanan's Pickles N198 sired by Champion Hill Fullback 380 Reserve and Champion bred and owned: Triple N Black Label 4081 sired by Plainview Lutton E102

While you guys try to figure out the simmy bull's name here is another bull to ponder.  He is an Angus bull from long ago for the old timers like myself. Grandson of the Rito 707 bull Bred by Grant and owned by Jorgensen and Knop Born in 1973.

Same here in Iowa.  Shipping is running $4/mile loaded.

That gadget would be great if I had any pasture.  Yes, an engineering marvel running on solar power.

Wow, self inflicted bloat.  Amazing.

I prefer to weigh shrunk, meaning empty.  When is your show?

It all depends on the amount of energy in the diet.  He should be on a finishing diet now, rather than a grower.  The energy content of the diet should be 3.16 and 3.45 Mcal/kg of dry matter and he should be eating at the very least a total of 27.5 lbs per day and more would be better.  Check...

Yes, Crowd Favorite 1 and 2 are both clones of that calf.

Here is a video of Faber's 2008 champ.  Jary Douglas is impressive as a judge.  I believe Brad Hook is the guy in the orange shirt near the end of the clip.  Godspeed and RIP Mark Pearson. Iowa State Fair - 4-H Grand Champion Steer

I won't eat it because at the local Wal-Mart they let it sit out on the dock or back room for hours at a time.  Same with the other meats.

Jersey, Guernsey or Brown Swiss would be my choices.  All produce high butter fat milk.  I love the Swiss for their teddy bear temperament and the Jersey-X beef, as others have mentioned, is great in the freezer too.

The only bull not available from a distributor would be Hot Rod.  His semen, when you can find it, will bring upwards of $350/straw.  If you have some Hot Rod to sell, please let me know.

Bring back the frame size and weights of the middle 1990s.  Life was great back then, no credit to the implanted politics of the time though as I blame a lot of those policies for the trouble we have now.

My embryologist says not to move the cows/heifers from day 9 to day 17 after estrus for both AI or embryos.
