I had my first bad day of calving season today. Had a first calf heifer calve breech. the calf only weighed around 80lbs, but the cord had snapped before I could get it out. I only bring to topic up cause about 90 to 95% of our death loss the past few years has come do to breech birth, it just...

I showed cattle and hogs for 10 years and sheep for 2 years, hog were by far the easiest for me they are way cheaper, and you can produce them much quicker, I mean you can get 2 litters a year with a sow, but a cow or a ewe it takes much more time to improve and advance genetics. To do it right...

I think the club calf industry doesn't have that bull out there right now to replace HW, but what I do think is over the next few year clubby producers will still ride the HW sons until that bull arrives. If you look at trends HW was a product of what was hot at the time. Think about it when...

I pretty sure it is going to take the market a little longer than 2010 to turn around. The number one reason cattle prices are so low now is because the U.S. beef supply is not exporting enough beef, this is largely do to the fact that the top 3 countries we have exported beef to have greatly...

We start feeding creep about the 15th of June (Calving 90% mid to late march). What we usually do is buy 100lbs of 18% feed to get them started and them go to a 16% until about a month before wean, after that we feed a 12% ration. Most other people around me feed what I call a day-one creep...

SEK has him listed at $210/unit, don't know what his clone will be priced at.

kfacres, I am alittle confused why you seem so sure that his dam is not clean, am I missing something? I don't see any dirty bloodlines in her. Please explain! 

Ok, his reg # is:*4146894, I want to thank all of you who have responded to this post. I appreciate all the comments on the bull even the negatives about the bull. I know this bull well most likely never be promoted, and never be use by most/ if any other breeds, but I also know that if the bull...

Ok, here are some more pics...

I have not had him TH/PHA tested yet, but his sire is clean and his dam should be clean be pedigree. I think I should have used a different pic. It's funny most people who have seen him in person, the first things they comment about him is how smooth shoulders, long fronted, and how he has great...

I would go with them all, the key is to always to be picky, look around, and don't buy on impulse, do your home work and make a long term plan if you are in for the long haul. For me I found the type of cattle I wanted at Joel Brooks' and I have form my cowherd around his genetics and management...

He is by a bull called Sondown (Sonny x Double Down's full sib) and his dam is a JBS Frosty (Steermaker x JBS Puma II) back on Deerpark Leader 13th. Not very well known blood-lines up front, but goes back to some good ones.

This is my new shorthorn bull Designated Hitter, I just want some opinions. Thanks dhs
