crzyrockinT, I like hearing that you had a good experience.  It similar to my experience.  How about temperament?  My JJ heifer is calm and curious.  She mimics what the cows do.  Then again when you only have a few and you are able to spend time with them it doesn't hurt.  My heifer is 6 weeks...

Freddy & ejoe326 - I bred to Jesse James to get a nice live calf that was marketable.  And I think I did pretty well.  I'm breeding my cow right back the same way for her second calf.  I am also breeding a PB Angus yearling heifer to Jesse James.  I don't have the numbers of cows to gamble...

Any color, any breed, clubby, PB producer, this bull looks like he'd throw some nice calves.

You're starting to get the picture.  Again, it the cows.  Breed them all the Jesse James, or Monopoly Money, or Who Da Man, and you'd say those were the best looking set of calves you've seen.  It the cow power boys.  If it were the bulls, we could all go to the local sale barn, buy up some...

The problems with this is there's no control group.  I would expect Garwood's have some great cows as well as some great management practices.  Now if they bred an equal set of cows to I-80 and to Jesse James, then we could compare. Last hear there was more hype about I-80.  They sold a lot, I...

There was only one heifer registered in the ACA by Jesse James for 2011 and only three heifer registered so far from 2012.  More Jesse James calves are being born this year.  There are 22 heifers registered in the ACA alone by I-80 born in 2012.  Not to mention all of the Commercial...

And talk to people who have actually seen the bulls.  I've been told that it's hard to believe that Jesse James is a calving ease bull.  Very muscular.  But then a calf can be if it's the right shape.  From the pictures I saw, he was great topped, muscular, clean fronted, and all four legs...

I know I'm putting my self out there.  Because I'm pretty happy with my results.  But here is goes.  I had a heifer calf by Jesse James and out of a Heat Wave daughter, shown extensively up to a little over a month before calving and she was fat.  To be safe, I did assist but just a hand, no...

The best is to use a gestation table, figure when you would like he/them to calve and then look at the respective breeding date.  I always start a month early because you can't just chose when they come into heat an you can take note of her cycles ahead of time.   You could also implant a CIDR®...

It is called radient heating.  Very common in the Southwest.  Coils with water are encased in a top layer of concrete before the flooring is installed.  Usually done with tile or stained concrete floors.  When I lived in Santa Fe, it was nice getting out of bed and stepping on to warm floor. ...

I agree.  I'd consider doing that with "Black Power Play", too.  And I agree, the cows better be small framed and soggy.
