Yep he sired the two high selling bulls in the One Sale and all 3 bulls in the champion pen of 3. The reserve bull was my favorite of the ones  out there he is one of the best dream on sons i have ever seen but that class of three year old bulls they were both in was one heck of a class with the...

Get rid of her asap. I have gotten rid of some good ones in my small amount of time I have been involved with cattle.  The one that irritates me the most is an et calf i had out of Double D Black Chyna.  Halter broke her as a calf kicked her in with the rest of the open heifers and when we went...

The sale did very well in my opinion I watched it on rfd till it ran out of air time.  The bred ave. was pretty good for as small as some of them were. The opens were pretty strong on the ones he had to get his money back on like lots 129 and 128 but all in all a good set of cows.

We used full tank last year and we thought it did a very good job. It helped fill them out and really increased their appetite when we added it to their feed.  We will definately use it again.  Started them out with about a pound a day and worked our big heifer up to 4 pounds a day.  I have...

Dream On definitely and a very very close second in my book is Black Joker because of what joker can do on the commercial side of things

Everything gets cut when it gets castrated around here. Cut the bag and use a cordless drill and this little tool to twist the nut off and spray with iodine and give a tetanus shot as well. Have did males up to 800lbs with no problems, wont go back to banding unless its a real big bull. the...

I know of one guy that take pictures and does a great job and his going rate the last i knew was $300 dollars a day plus mileage

What i can tell you from that list of sires is that 3C Macho and Built Right work ideally on opposite type of cows.  Most of the time Macho needs to be used on a soft middled cow while built right will soften up cows and if she is stout and has a good hip in her i would go Built Right. They are...

I have used windshield washer fluid multiple time doing it for shows or sales as julie described and we also put sheen or oil on afterwards to lessen the effects of it drying out the skin.

Most upgrade calves wont be born till the later part of feb. but i was told to use him on a cow that was a little softer made with a plenty big foot on her

Well I guess i will give my take on this subject.  Determining how a v. heifer is gonna respond to flushing is as easy as figuring out how many eggs a donor cow is gonna produce in her lifetime.  I have known of quite a few heifers that have been flushed some had good success in the 5-10 egg...

We are in the process of putting up a new barn as well that will be a dual purpose for calving/show barn. The few things i have learned in this process is take your time designing it we have been planning this for over two years.  Look at plenty of other barns and visit with people to see what...

Silvertowne won heifer, trey jass of Iowa was reserve, bull was hearthstone and reserve was hudson pines, cant remember much of the percentage show

Bill and Mike Zumbahlen around Effingham, IL.  They do an awesome job. 

I had the same question regarding if anyone on here as used any supplements that truly work or if anyone has used natural stride.

Rub absorbine high on the inside of the back legs near the cod right before they go in the ring. This works, I learned it at a Stierwalt Fitting Clinic.

I don't think they were bashing the breed per say but I agree with them in that there are alot of unsound clubby bulls out there that just take a picture but that being said there are some real good sound ones too, every breed has it.  Every bull can throw an unsound one, none of them are fool...

I completely agree that you should dye him its one of those deals that almost everyone does it you just dont talk about it alot.  My experience over the last ten years is to use the young color II if you can find it.  The sullivans has  a better smell to it but in my opinion the young color is...

I was curious as to the asscoiations registration requirements because i read in an earlier post how you could give a producer a registration certificate on an animal that wasnt purebred and yet you still call it angus.  I was just curious as to the requirements cause the wording seems like it...

Go with the proven Dream On. Its calving ease and it probably wont be a "throw away calving ease calf".
