Thank you.  We are pretty dang excited about this one.  He looks right and he's bred right.  He has a really cool look for a purebred Maine that is TH and PHA free.

I would sure check out the Bluebonnets & Buckles online sale the TMAA is going to be putting on right here on SteerPlanet.  There will be several nice Maine and Chi heifers, that should sell for affordable prices.  Any of the sellers in the sale will be happy to work with kids with scramble...

Here is a 2 month old Gucci bull calf out of a SZH Deuces Are Wild x JAZX Audrey 352N first calf heifer.  He is polled, jet black, super stout, hairy, and had an 82 pound birth weight.  He was bigger than I would have liked for being out of a first calf heifer, but he is definitely made right. ...

We have been very happy with our Gucci calves.  One is in the showbarn getting ready for Jr. Nationals out of our Audrey donor cow, and we have another out of an Audrey daughter that has a bull calf that is most likely going to be in our showstring at Ft. Worth Open Maine Show next year.  Birth...

We have had really good luck with GVC Suh, and our Suh son, ZNT Moves Like Jagger, seems to be working very well on commercial and straight Angus type cows.  All of our calves out of Suh have been in the 70-90's for birthweight.  None over 100#.  Moves Like Jagger has been thowing calves mostly...

Here is our agent from Ft. Worth, TX.  They have been super friendly and very easy to deal with.  We have been lucky enough to not have a claim yet, so I can not tell you how that end of the process is with them.  Howard Miller Livestock Insurance 5913 Lovell Ave Fort Worth, TX 76107 (817)...

There will be several for sale in the Bluebonnets & Buckles Online sale ending on April 26th right here on SteerPlanet.

Thank you all for the complements.  Unfortunately I do not get to market these guys.  The steers are going to be shown by their family.  I will get to watch them develop and still do some fitting on them.

Just clipped out just a couple of the fall prospect calves that Wesley Ruddick from Decatur, TX had born this year out of Montego Bay.  Calves have been weaned right at two weeks, and are coming on like crazy.  They are so happy about all the money they will save by not having to go out and buy...

This is just my opinion, but showing should be a progression.  If you have never shown a calf before, county fairs and local shows are the best place to start taking your calves.  While you are showing your calves at these smaller shows, I completely encourage all showman to go visit some of the...

I have really enjoyed writing the ones I have done for Steerplanet.  Hope several more of you take advantage of this opportunity that Jason is giving.

The second calf crop should be hitting the ground this spring.  What are the reports from last years calf crop and how do they look this year?  Please post pics, bw info, soundness, etc.

DNA it and remove all doubt.  One of the luxuries we have these days that we didn't years back.

We like to body clip all of our show calves in early spring if we are planning on showing them in the summer.  It is a similar philosophy of keeping the cattle cooler to improve gains, but also to get the shedding process over and work on new hair instead of old hair.  We are in Texas, and...

This post reminded me of two blogs I did almost 4 years ago.  And really, they need to be read in the order I am linking them below, because without the first, the second, and all other decisions are pointless. http://www.zntcattle.com/2010/03/decision-time.html...

If you have ever been to our website, you will find mature pictures of some of our bulls, and all throw low to moderate birth weights.  But we have always been ones to buck the system.  ;D

If you want to raise a great chi out of an Angus cow.  CTR Success is the answer.

I think we could coin a new term with the HW and HW derivative females, and that would be "Terminal Dams".  These females can have their place in a herd, but they should not be a long range direction if someone wants to be in the cattle business for the long term.  As I see it, keeping say a...

Thank You Gargan and Freddy!
