Your right Trevor, a few bad apples spoiled the whole box. Sure did. And I have paid the price. To the tune of close to 10,000. Isn't that enough? Trust me, those the screwed will never, and I repeat never, get a kind word from my mouth. THAT is the price THEY will pay. Shorthorns4us - you are...

Don't fall for it. Look for another calf.  Unless you can get the price reduced alot and just don't mind putting up with the sloppy neck.

DLD is just stating the obvious.  That is why the shortie breed will fail in the long run. 1. The blind eye - not willing to see the weakness in their breed and not willing to change it for acceptance.  2. The "your attacking me." whine. whine. whine. Your sounding like the president. Blame...

You might try the CLASSIFIED section, that is where things are SUPPOSED to be posted for sale and wanted to buy. Try there.

I like the second bull.  I believe they are thick enough, but lack a bit of "flash and style" that is needed in the show ring. No, they are not freaks, but I am seeing a trend away from freaks and back to just functional "do everything right, and nothing wrong" sort of animals instead of the...

Roughly 85 head. So enough to know I must have learned SOMETHING doing the research.... or not.  (pop)

In the eighties in our area black hided calves were discounted.The people who put them at the top weren't too worried about coffee shop laughter! We have been able to be right at the top of the market with our shorthorn steer calves the last few years. There are shorthorn genetics out there that...

Yep, peta would say the horse it twitching its tail, therefore in pain. The horse has its ears pinned back, so therefore it is unhappy. And it surely must have been beaten into submission to do that kind of performance. Not to mention how the boots felt on the horses back when she stood on...

Thats just stupid. Why doesn't the parents of the "beef eating" students join and raise some hell? They can offer an option... our school does it all the time.  This might be the case of "parents blaming the system" instead of stepping up and defending their childs right to eat beef...

I was involved in some research on vaginal ph, and timing to determine the sex of the calf. All I can say is in the last three years of AI'ing, I am running 86% heifers (which is what I want).

Not around here. They are dead. Big birth weights, unacceptable colored calves, too much hair for summer, bad PR from breeders, and the fact they are known for (and themselves publicize) that they are the "show ring breed") will prevent any commercial producer from even considering them.  I...

Maybe if you go to the CLASSIFIED section, you would find some "good calves for sale".

What are your intentions?  Commercial herd? AI? Purebred use? Do you own him? EPD's?  Age? Seems pretty nice, and has a super hip, and I am not much of a Norseman King fan! 

First off, it wasn't a $15000 clone, it cost way more if you add in the 8 full clone sibs that DID NOT MAKE IT, yet cost the same to "develop".  If you figure that in, it was more like a $100,000 animal.  But since fabers basically are trans ova, then it was actually probably free. Only you and...

Wonderful picture!

Develop a tough skin enjoy it. Sort the info to best serve yourself and forget the rest.  Meet lots of people and be picky about who you retain as friends. Do it for the enjoyment... not to win. You will be much happier!

From personal experience:  WMW might add too much rounded muscle mass in the rear quarter.  I would recommend Hannibal, or Dr.Who. Both will clean up the front, yet not add the rounded muscle pattern. Also, might "search" this topic... I know it was discussed several times!

I know someone that has a TH/PHA carrier that hasn't bred this year, had a c-section last year, and then starved the calf to death and never bred as a heifer. (She is a 4 year old) They were actually just going to hual her to the salebarn but... She is super hairy, and requires having every 30...

Love my Andis... also just got a set of Legends, and so far, love them (they are not small though).

You mentioned several other "show steers" in the group.... how did they do?  But congrats on your accomplishment!
