I wish we could have calves like that. She must be out of a great cow. Wait a second we own her mom ;D. FYI we still have her mom and are planning on putting her in the Revival this fall. She is due to be bred to Sonny any day now

I look at it differently as a breeder who only shows at open shows. I see it as if a calf we raised wins we win because people see that we will part with our best and will want to come buy from us since they realize we aren't keeping something back that might beat them someday. Why would I want...

I guess I have the luxury of not showing myself so it was easy to decide what stayed and what went. I always think it looks better if you sell a winner in the jr. thing then have your child or yourself win. It shows potential buyers you are willing to part with the good ones. I just want my son...

You guys(aliens) are showing up and ruining everything. You can't even stay out of my beloved Indiana Jones movies. Sorry to ruin the ending for those of you that haven't seen it. If you haven't seen it yet save your money and wait to rent it.

From a totally outside perspective I would guess the Lowline breed has the most upside of any breed out there right now. With the current agriculture economy lowlines should have an large number of selling points. If lowline breeders are able to make the cattle available on a large scale and...

What is the TH status of the heifer. I sure hope you knew the TH status of the cow before the breeding decision was made. From the looks of things it was a good choice either way. We were the runner up bidder on Lucky when he sold in the Revival. I told Cory before the sale he was going to be...

For straight angus calves I think they look pretty good. I'm not going to make a recommendation of which on I think is best off a computer pic but I would guess any off the top end would be able to hunt in the angus deal.

Trust me if it was at all possible to purchase the land we would. However, in our area hunters and out of state buyers have driven the price of land to a level that it is no longer practical for anyone to use it for ag purposes. We have already had a lawyer from Chicago and a NFL player show...

I'm sorry your daughters didn't want to be active with your operation however this is not the situation here. Yes, I live a hour away from the farm but I am still very active with it(I lived five minutes away until a year and a half ago when I got married). I spent almost every weekend up there...

Thanks just noticed that and got it fixed.

Here is a link to the bill of sale for the farm http://www.gannonauctions.com/2008/06/14.php . If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thanks for all the thoughts. My dad is only 58 but the doctors say if he doesn't slow down he won't be walking soon. I have land and facilities to get calves ready to show and sell but not run more then a few cows so I think the contractor herds will work out nice. Another reason my dad kept...

As many of you know we sold a vast majority of our cows in March. My dad has been fighting back problems for the past few years and he has made the decision to sell the rest of the cows (most went to SRU's country) and is selling all of the land and most of the equipment except for 30 acres to...

There are alot of breeders in that area. Ohldes and MCF come to mind right off of the bat. Elbee isn't to far from there either. Stop off at Jill's before leaving KC. There are a few other char. breeders in the area as well. Fancy Creek Charlois and Finks are both really close to the area...

Red, let's not encourage Troy. You know how they have those signs at the zoo saying not to feed the monkeys, Troy is kind of the same way. ;D All kidding aside welcome aboard Troy, I'm sure you can keep things lively.

I judged with Jeff in Juco so I got to meet his family a few times and it is hard to imagine them not raising cattle. I don't know if they have any Keynote left in their tanks but if they do just imagine what it would sell for on top of all the great cattle they have. I have told this story...

Not a joke but it is pretty funny. She gets this behavior from her mother.

Aj everyone knows there are no trees west of Salina, so I would like to know where this land is that you own with trees on it. ;D We had a wood burning stove growing up but as soon as us kids(free labor) moved out my folks moved into a smaller house with propane heat. So unless Dan is moving...

I love all types of baseball but I don't really have a favorite college team. My brother-in-law has coached all over the country and is currently coaching at Barton County in Great Bend. We have gone to the CWS the last few years and it has to be the greatest college event (even better then...
