    BDR calf

    Thriller would work pretty good on her too.  He's double clean, thick and they come a little smaller plus he's 50% Maine.  Broker in my experience has been a crap shoot with disposition.

    I-80

    I have not, but one thing I will say is he is almost 11 and he is at Nichols right now being collected. Not too many bulls can do that.

    Has anyone ever crossed a clubby bull w/highland cow??

    Pretty sure that’d be a train wreck.

    HIA Offspring Dispositions

    All the ones I have been around have been good, I’m sure there are some exceptions, but I don’t think they’re as consistently good as Monopoly.

    Non paying show cattle trader

    I had this happen to a friend who is also an insurance agent, he filed a theft report with his sheriffs office and then turned it over to insurance who went after him whole hog. So he got his money from the insurance company and the other guy is now forced to defend himself against deeper pockets.

    Executive sires bulls?

    They have several bulls that are pretty good.  The new one they are carrying; Top Secret bred by Schroeder is a really good bull too.  No Worries has been making really good heifers and steers for quite a while now, you'll start seeing him on the bottom side of some good ones.  Django is...

    Dual Threat sired the Grand Champion Maine and Mainetainer at the Ohio State Fair.

    Simmental Heifer

    Pedigree, pictures, strengths and weaknesses would help.  If you're just wanting a colored up show steer, there are quite a few possibilities.  Do you know her TH, PHA and DS status?  Because that would limit who she could breed to.  I have a Simmental heifer that is a PHA carrier because of...

    Maine Bulls

    If you can find it, Dual Threat 50% Maine and 10% Chi.  He is an I-80 son out of Onset's full sister.  They are good either way.  Minneart's Class on Class looks like he is going to make some really good offspring from the early reports from him.  Making Time from Griswold or his sire, Maternal...

    Steer keeps running/dragging me into pen and feed pan

    For me rings are a last resort unless its a bull.  Have you tried feeding him first and then exercising him?  We always halter ours to eat, that way we are not playing games in pen to get them caught and they like wearing the halter.  We have had difficult ones like that too and have found that...

    cow/calf not thriving....suggestions welcome

    Probiotics for both might help.  If the gut flora are off it may not allow them to utilize the feed they are taking in.  If they or some others have been outside of the herd it might be smart to have her tested for BVD.  We lost one this year that started out similarly and she ended up having...

    1 OAK

    Once the fall sales start you should see some, it’s probably more of guys not wanting to show them off because then they’re locked in to a date of birth. Hard to show off a newborn in January and claim it’s a mid March with an 85 lb birthweight. Plus the flushes would have been a little late...

    Mature bulls

    This guy has served us well he's 6 1/2 in this picture and still getting it done like a 2 year old.  Throws good heifers and pretty decent steers with some performance to him.  He's a Sooner out of Wisnefski's 2012 Reserve Champion Maine at Denver.  Disposition is an A+, still can walk up to...

    Does here I am carry a red gene?

    Don’t think he’s been tested for coat color, but should carry it with Heatwave in his pedigree. They typically follow dam’s coat color and pattern.

    Thoughts on Wide Range and Big Timber

    A close friend the other year bred all of his cows to Wide Range. They are 3 now and the heifers were good. Moderate, Broody with good power. They milked good as heifers and have nice udders now and are raising nice calves. He is using Big Timber a lot this year, so he’ll have quite a few...

    what are the most popular/proven/best calves, bulls right now?

    It all depends on the cow you’re breeding. None of them are the same, be honest with yourself about the strengths and weaknesses of your cow then match your bull to her. We still have a couple older cows that are Full Flushes out of Total Play dams and they have to be bred to bulls that will...

    Opinions on a club calf bull

    MAB on one that is clean fronted. I Believe if they are sloppy up front has worked for us.

    Mature bulls

    This is his 2 year old Denver Display.  He looked pretty close to that at the Ohio Beef Expo.  Little larger outline that most clubby bulls. https://youtu.be/zGtpZpkT1Dc

    Clubby bulls for Plain old commercial cows

    I'd have to agree with Mark, but we have had really good luck using Maternal Perfection on plainer made cows.  He adds a lot of power and puts a great chest floor on them without making them puds, that's kind of what the Whiskey's are known for and they make surprisingly good steers too.  Just...
