What percentage is the bull, and what percentage is the cow on their registration papers?  The Maine Association rounds the percentages to the 1/8th, sometimes up, and sometimes down.  Here is a link to the upgrade table:  http://www.maine-anjou.org/pdfs/UPGRADING_CHART.pdf

We mostly fall calve, and I am a huge proponent of early weaning.  Depending on feed costs for the cows, I shoot for weaning calves at 120 days old.  The higher the feed costs, the earlier I wean them.  We have gotten along great with calves as young as 90 days old.  That being said, all the...

Yep, Wednesday, it was 80 degrees in DFW, then the front rolled in and 50's for Thursday, but we have been right back in the upper 60's yesterday and today.  This has been the warmest November and December that I have ever seen here in North Texas.  We do have a chance of snow on Christmas...

I would have a couple more to add to that list, but I wasn't able to catch their license plate number.  (clapping) (lol)

Here is a yearling 1/2 blood Maine heifer out of Breathe Easy and a Triple X x Bachelor first calf heifer.  She was bred earlier this month to GVC Hawkeye.  She is located in North Texas.  http://www.zntcattle.com/2012/10/breathe-easy-donor-prospect.html Zane Mai 817-233-9357 [email protected]

I am amazed how so many of these sales by influential breeders in the industry omit any TH and PHA information on their cattle.  One sale that stick out to me because I got the catalog in the mail was the recent First Class sale.  They had a catalog full of potential TH and PHA carriers, yet I...

First off, I was being facetious about the believing in God and gun control.  And secondly, GONEWEST, I don't think they are listening to your post here.

Perfect!  The gun debate is now solved too!  Anybody that believes and trusts in God does not need guns, because they fear no evil, and anyone that feels we must have guns to protect ourselves DO NOT believe.  That makes the only need for guns when you are hunting to feed your family.  And even...

Interesting first post you chose to put on steerplanet Brent.  I am assuming you are Brent from Rincker Simmentals.  You don't seem to have any TH issues in your herd from what you are offering on your "for sale" page.  That being said, I do appreciate that Lautners do have several clean bulls...

I think you did a great job setting up your Blogger website.  You have a very stylish banner, and your site is full of great pictures of great cattle.  Not sure if you hired someone to make the banner, but you have done a great job updating the rest of the site.  I don't think people realize how...

So from your answer, I take your answer as the marketplace is determining the lineup of bulls that Lautner offers. Using that logic though, if 1/2 your calf crop is TH carriers from TH bulls, and 1/2 of those carriers are heifers, and using the criteria that all good showsteers must have TH...

You mean like the Calf Champion bull at Ft. Worth that is on my profile picture?  I am sure you raise some really good ones.  We would all love to see pictures of them, also maybe your name and location so you can get some promotion out of these great pictures that you post. 

Not sure what a "bame" is?  Not sure if you were trying to be insulting and meant to write "name".  I guess if that was your intent, really good use of your 6 total posts on steerplanet. 

First off, this was an absolutely tragic event.  I can not even comprehend losing my child in this manner, nor being any of those educators that are entrusted with the safety and well-being of our children.  So much good took place in that building in a time of so much evil.  Teachers gave their...

You mean clean bulls that are safe on heifers that can produce calves like this?

Here is a yearling Breathe Easy out of a Triple X first calf heifer that we have for sale.  The heifer was born unassisted, and has been great since the day I saw her.  I am pretty sure she had a birthweight in the low 60's.  We bred her last week to GVC Hawkeye.  Picture was taken in October...

Looks like you have a great crew working the cattle. That is so good for the kids to just get in there and do it. You are creating work ethic that they will have for life. I really appreciate you letting you oldest do the A.I.ing. There is no other way to learn and get good than just doing it...

I think that this is exactly how it got started, but now it seems like everyone has been convinced that you must use their carrier bulls to win.  And this concept is based on a bunch of champion steers that have not been tested for TH and PHA, and even better, haven't even been DNA parent...

I thought these charts that were posted on Lautner Farms' blog were interesting.  Only 6 of the 41 new bulls in 2011 and 2012 were TH Free.  I guess this begs the question.  Do they think that these TH carrier cattle are the best of all the cattle out there, or do they only want to carry THC...

Had a great couple of days in Henrietta with Robert (Chambero) and his family working and breeding cattle.  The last day, I brought my daughter with me, and got a kick out of what happened when her and Robert's youngest son were let loose on a group of calves while we were working.  Here are...
