I have some in my tank.  I was going to use him on my big Heat Wave x Meyer cow.  Knowing he was a Monopoly (Heat Wave) as I've had luck line breeding in the past.  Plus I wanted color as she threw me a colored up Shorthorn Plus heifer this year.  And he's a clean bull as she's a TH Carrier.  I...

mainecattleks, What kind of cow was that heifer calf out of?  Breeding size, etc.?  And how has she matured?  Were you pleased?  Use him again? Thanks, cattlecards

Rules for the 2015 Riley Round Up for MS

Everyone who enters, gets a t-shirt!

Dec. 5, 2015 Texoma Expo & Livestock Major Arena at Loy Lake Park Denison, TX TCCA Sanctioned Judges: Cheramie Viator Dr. Ryan Rathmann

WANTED! STCC Total Improvement 307W (Chianina #344990) Semen. Only need a few units to breed one heifer (and would like to save on shipping cost).Will not pay over $25/unit.  Better be from a well maintained tank.  Looking in the North Texas area.  If you're in Tarrant, Parker, Wise, Denton...

I agree with several of you.  But with my own twist.  My calves don't always like a pellet or like a sweet feed.  So I mix Purina Full Range with Purina Precon.  I'll even add cotton seed hulls (what we feed in the south) as they get older.  By the time they're weaned, they are on their full...

Sure that had nothing to do with my comment.  But when you have some of the best fitters around and you can watch them do their thing, why not watch them do their magic and learn what you can.  I watched John Griswold, Bobby May, Ed Cody, and Pat McRenyolds when Suddeth, Poad, & Weigel were just...

God forbid we have a heifer/cow that's bigger than a 5.5 Frame Score.  I have a 56" Angus second calf heifer and a 58" 3rd calf Chi cow (Heat Wave x Meyer).  With today's bulls, I'd prefer to have a larger cow.  Seen too many clubby bred calves with no cannon bones that mature early, Jackpot...

There is no bull like Jesse James.  I bred two totally different heifers to him and got a 75 lb. heifer calf (both) times that came naturally, quick to get up and nurse and quick to hit the feed.  One was out of a Heat Wave x Meyer cow that's 58", 1600 lb.  The other was out of a 1200 lb. PB...

She looks long spined.  Probably free moving.  Maybe needs to be softened up a bit.  Maybe a tick more spring of rib.  A bull that impresses me, gives the "Show Look" and improves what a cow already offers is Barstow Cash.  Combines Sitz Upward 307R on the top with SAV Final Answer 0035 on the...

In Texas, the Blow & Go is very popular and even gotten to some of the Majors.  When hosting a "Fitting Optional" show, I was told that the kids couldn't pay $200-$300 to have their animals fit for the show(s).  What happened to the day when people like myself clipped and fit their own heifers...

Sorry that my thought got ahead of my typing on that one.  That "...you should be sired by a bull of that breed". Which since you so kindly pointed out, I corrected the comment Secondly, I do run my own show.  Quite successfully.  It's a benefit for MS.  And in our first 3 years, beside giving...

You mean that that there are people using the rules to their advantage.  No matter what rules are in place, there will always be people who will go as far as they can and push those rules.  I live in TX now but grew up in WI.  Don't think I don't know shows, rules, etc.  I grew up showing...

People are getting more and more savvy with social media.  I'm sure they can find someone on the show committee that could monitoring these things.  Facebook, the Pulse, Lautner's Blog, etc.  As soon as someone posts that the Champion Angus steer was sired by Monopoly, go to the exhibitor...

I admit that Carpe Diem is an interesting bull and though deceased, still reasonably priced.  He used to be listed as a calving ease bull as well.  Is that the case?  Have a really nice Jesse James heifer that I need to figure what to breed to for her first calf.  Thought that might be...

So you do recognize the benefits of Smilin Bob.  He's done a lot without all the hype and his offspring are sought after.  Again, why go to one of them when you can go to the source.
