I will go ahead and do my shameless promotion of our proven easy calving, heifer safe Maine bull Montego Bay. He has not only proven himself as low birth weight, but also for producing calves with plenty of muscle, a cool look, tons of hair, and very marketable. If you compare his pedigree to...

My Doctor Who's ranged from the 70's to the 100+'s.  I personally would not recommend him on heifers.

I don't think you have to be THAT much of an "in" to know what is going on with the ages.  I've seen a major player/breeder sell a December as an April in his sale.  Not rumor, but fact.  It's out there.  We all know it's out there like the elephant in the middle of the room.  And it will...

I would start with the Steerplanet Classifieds.  Lots of calves for sale, and the breeders are supposed to be listing where the cattle are located.  Just figure out how far you would like to travel, and then happy searching.

Well I am sorry ECC if you thought I was attacking your decisions as a bull owner.  My only point was to give the perception of the customers you are trying to reach.  Not very often you get the chance to hear what your customer, or lost customers, are hearing and the information they are using...

I've had to advise the youth purchasing our cattle to not get discouraged when the cattle in their class are weighing a couple hundred pounds more than their calf at the early shows.  I just tell them to be patient, and as the cattle mature, it will all even out, and as even more time goes on...

I do not think people are directly saying there is shady business going on here.  I think it is an issue due to lack of information and experiences from the past.  Rumors do not start on Steerplanet, they are just said out in the open on here.  As you said, it has been 6 months since any real...

I think it's kind of a conservation type approach.  It's a catch and release, that way they can be caught again another day.  (lol) (clapping) In all seriousness, I don't know what the exact penalty, but would guess they would not receiving the sale money, and probably barred from showing at...

Stop by any time on your way to the big city.  I'll be kinda up in your neck of the woods next month breeding cows.

I would hold off a little bit and see how he develops.  He could be a bull prospect for someone looking for a herd bull the spring 2014.  Some people would rather use long yearling bulls rather than a true yearling.  That extra age helps them cover more cows that first year.

At this point, so close to breeding time, I would hold on to the heifers, sync them, and A.I. them to a popular easy calving sire.  About 45 days after you are done breeding, get them ultrasounded an you will have one heck of a good set of bred heifers for sale.  Buyers are willing to pay extra...

His name is Moves Like Jagger.  He is a GVC Suh out of the dam of Montego Bay.

Just got in the first of the promotion material for our new bull ZNT Moves Like Jagger.  We are still planning on getting a "hairier" picture of him this winter, but he is ready to be collected now, and we don't want to wait for winter in Texas to finally get here.  May be waiting a long time!  ...

Very nice herd you have put together, and I really appreciate seeing you use the Green Valley Cattle Genetics in your herd.  We have an awesome PB GVC Suh son that we are just starting to promote.  We will be using Suh again, along with the Hawkeye bull of Dennis' this fall.

I've had my DVR set to record it all week.  Looking forward to watching it!

he was sired by Full Flush.  Not for sure, but I think he was double clean.  Again, don't quote me on that.

I do understand the logic of this strategy to get only the good cows bred to him the first year, but by not explaining to the public what is actually going on the bull you can also lose sales.  I had planned on using Hard Whiskey on one of my good donors, but with the rumors of fertility issues...

Right out of college, I used to help a family that told me this same thing.  And I do agree.  They didn't go on family vacations other than going to a couple of majors.  They spent more than most of the families in their county for calves, but the spent an equal amount of time out in the barn...

So are you saying we should just have the two candidates play a game of "chicken" on tractors, just like they did on the movie "Footloose"  (lol) (clapping)

Yep, that is pretty much what Romney said, and well, it didn't work out for him.  Maybe it's time to look at tweeking the GOP message.  That's pretty much what we were saying above.
