Needing new blacks?  How about the Res National Champion Fullbood Female from Ft. Worth this year due to have a Montego Bay calf this coming spring.  That said, we love GVC genetics, and we have been huge proponents of Dennis' cattle for years.  Many of our cows and GVC genetics in their pedigree.

The day we see judges stop rewarding people for changing birthdates, then people will stop changing the birthdates. It is hard explaining to young exhibitors who buy our real birthdate show heifers why their heifers are so small at the early show and get buried in class.  I just tell them that...

Wish I would have heard this suggestion a few years ago.  PVC sleeves are a great  idea.  We used metal pipe for the sleeves, and rust has become an issue.

I second the Green Valley sale.  If you want Maine genetics, it doesn't get any better, and honest than them.

So happy you are using Steerplanet Auctions to market your cattle. I hope you have the same positive experience that we have had using it.  From the looks of the sale, y'all did a very nice job of picturing and videoing the cattle.  I tell you who could make a nice addition to someones herd is...

Here are some pics and a video I took of our Gucci bull calf yesterday.  We sheared him 2 month ago, and he is already shagging up quickly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzaq2YpzgG8

I was actually going to try and do some picturing of a couple of our bull prospects later this week.  I'll post pics when I get them.

Bull Barn Genetics is not only the best place to search for bulls, but also the best place to order your semen.  They work with most of the other distributors out there, and can easily combine orders from multiple distributors without any extra cost if you give thme some notice.  We get pretty...

Maternal is..... Breeds easily Calves without assist Bonds with calf Produces ample amount of milk for environment Calves every year Longevity

And this is with the Majors only allowing 1 steer per exhibitor. Jr. Heifer show numbers are also pretty similar, and they only allow 1 heifer per exhibitor also.

This is really one of the most interesting posts that I have read in a while on SteerPlanet.  What this commercial cattleman said is off track of the focus of our herd, but it sure makes a person think.  He is right on about the fact that large birthweight calves have a performance advantage...

Actually, you will have 2/3 of your live calf crop as TH carriers if you breed carrier on carrier.  That is because 1/4 of the calf crop will be dead.  Not sure if I would sign up for a 25% mortality rate right off the bat.  Some think it's worth it though I guess.

Here is a Montego Bay steer out of a Bojo heifer.

Saturday night concluded the Bluebonnets & Buckles online sale here on SteerPlanet.  I want to send a HUGE thank you to Jason and SteerPlanet for providing this online auction service.  From start to finish, everything went smoothly. The cattle sold well, and everyone involved with the sale was...

Selling 2 young bulls, 1 steer, and 10 heifers.  Sale ends at 7pm on Saturday, April 26th.  All calves will be on display at the Texas State Jr. Maine and Chi Show at the Ft Worth Stock Show grounds on sale day. Also selling are 12 semen lots that have been donated with all the proceeds going...

Very good made, and very functional bulls.  I personally like the deep red solid color pattern.  I know it isn't what people choosing show and raise Shorthorns are looking for, but I think it would be a great trend for the Shorthorn breed to take when considering the feeders and the order...

For all you Fullblood enthusiasts, there will be a couple of Fullblood semen lots in the Bluebonnets & Buckles Sale right here on SteerPlanet on April 26th.  These lots, just as all the semen lots in the sale, are donation lots with the proceeds going to the Texas Maine Anjou Association to...

Not sure how much chi you are needing, but ZNT Triple X is 6.446% chi, and has proven himself for years as a low birthweight sire for heifers.  He is clean on both TH and PHA, and can add just a little bit of growth to a moderate, thick made heifer. Below is a link to his pedigree.  He is a full...

I would agree also about answering your own question.  Show genetics are not necessarily associated with cattle that make great breeding animals.  Not saying they can't, but in the real world, people are not worried about how much bone and hair a bull can put in their calves, and they sure don't...

Anything with a GVC in front of it is a pretty safe choice for great commercial genetics.  Programs like Nagels and Truline also spend a lot of time focusing on the commercial application of their genetics in the industry. Dave Steen is the go to guy that can point you in the right direction. ...
