    Cowz, Wravenna judged at BHE for Dan Hoge and then at Oklahoma St. for Mark Johnson. She is a very talented individual who should do a nice job of sorting the livestock there. Jim

    What are your vices in life?

    1. Livestock Judging - I don't know if this is actually a vice, since I look forward every day to getting up and doing it, but it occupies the majority of my life and time at the moment. 2. Copenhagen - a habit I've been trying to break for the last 7 years of my life, don't know if it's ever...

    Livestock Judging Update

    SRU, Connors is looking very good this spring. They were 4th in Denver and 2nd in San Antonio behind Coffeyville. I'm not sure how they did in Ft. Worth since we did not go. I don't know much about Cloud County since I don't think they are pulling a team right now. I know they weren't in Denver...

    What Red Angus bulls would be beneficial to starting a Durham Red program?

    aj, I'll try to answer your question about Lancer the best I can. We had our first set of Lancer granddaughters calve this last spring. I really love them. They are moderate framed, easy keeping, and sound. The picture doesn't do him justice. I heard a story that he was in the feedlot for almost...

    Red Angus - searching for....

    Show Heifer, Which Julian bull are you looking for? If you are looking for Beckton Juian B571, semen is getting expensive and very hard to find on him. I have no idea where you are from, but Dwight Elmore from Hutchison, KS might be able to point you in the right direction. He is building a herd...

    In defense of incomplete EPD's.

    i agree we can't put full faith yet in the markers as well.  Jimmyski, were all the progeny tenderness tested that were slaughtered and equal star individuals compared on any basis?  for instance, you could  have one bull by chance passing on more of the T2 marker (the rarest by the way), and...

    In defense of incomplete EPD's.

    Elbee, I will agree with you to a certain extent that DNA doesn't (or isn't supposed to) lie. However, after watching a presentation by Lorna Marshall (Bull Buyer for ABS) they did Marker tests on many of their Angus bulls and found that the bull that had the best tenderness score had a 2-1-2...

    my steer

    Garybob, I agree with you on the not using ramps. I can see that definitely causing some structure issues. However, I will respectfully disagree with you on the Implant. I would definitely implant him, it will aid in his overall muscle development and that steer could use that, especially behind...

    CWA Prospect Steer (updated pic Nov-28)

    I like him a lot from what I can see in the pictures. He's got plenty of muscle, is deep bodied and looks like he'll be an easy feeding type of calf. I also think that he is pretty correct in most of his angles although he might toe out a little bit off of his right front but not too bad. I...

    Which one is best? A weeks chores at stake

    As of right now, I would say that I like the White Socked calf just a little more. In the pictures, he looks a little more correct in his angles and looks like he should hold up better in the long run. Part of this could be do to how you have them standing in the picture, but the black one looks...

    Jill, I believe it is the NW Missouri AGR Beef Show in Syracuse on March 3. Usually the University of Nebraska AGR show is right before Christmas Break as well. I don't know anybody that's left in AGR or I would try and find out for you. If I hear of anything I will let you all know. Jim
