    Heifer Calf with a twisted rear leg?

    Looks like a genetic mutation,  something went wrong just like as it can happen in a human. Is tge leg hard or are the joints flexible?  If it has mobility you may be able to help it form into the correct shape, but she will always have issues. If the joints are solid and there is no movement...

    County Fair Steer???

    I have raised grays for about 18 years. great breed, only thing is you have to be vary watchful feeding them. I'm raising a few of our own gray steers along with my clubby steers and I have had to put them on about 5# grain a day versus the 16# my clubby and Simmental steers are getting,  they...

    at the end of the rope

    It'd a horrible thing, taking someone's word, spending the money to have a monster calf but the worst mistake would be giving up after a bad go. Whats the true point of showing that fuzzy cheeseburger around the ring? Teaching her its ok to give up when the going gets rough isn't a good life...

    Issue: Daughter's show heifer acts like she wants to hurt my kids

    In my opinion that animal would be gone, no questions asked. Its never worth risking a child over a walking cheese burger for a ribbon.

I would consider a good Simmental with how popular the breed is right now, especially if...

    What do ya'll think of this exciting bull calf?

    I think your looking at this the wrong way, you have to consider what you want out of him. Do you plan to run him over your own cows? If not, who are you targeting as your potential buyer and at what price? If your simply hoping to sell him to a local commercial guy at a base price say...

    Tiger woods bull

    I personally really liked the bull and used him rather heavily two years ago but I ended up with a lot of calves that where shallow flanked and popped their pasterns expecially on the left leg (opposite show side) when he clicks they where amazing, but that was not always the case. I also...

    Two embryos per recipient cow?

    Free martens result in the transfer of testosterone between the cell walls during development if I remember correctly. It transfers from the bull to the heifer. So yes even embryos and not just double released eggs or embryos splitting will cause free-martins. Aka the cons outway the pros of...

    opinions on this bull calf

    He's super sound he is a bit bold in his sholders not so much of a brake. Iim thinking he may be a tick to big frame wise he's surpassed older calves in frame size  buy he's plenty thick to follow it. Hes also th and pha free.
