    "MY TURN" Information by Brad Hook.....please read.

    Let me try this one more time.....the sire of My Turn is a out of Hotmail and the Kroupa Donor that is an Ice Pick/Dunk/An, that's all I know about her.  My Turn's dam is a Kaboom out of the Ruby donor of Ohlrichs, which as I stated in my first post, is out of a SON of REALITY from Horsely's. ...

    Sorry for the delayed response.....I'm really not that familiar with the Maine Assoc at all......  It appears you found out what it takes and if there's anything I can do to get him registered as a Mainetainer, I will do it.

    WONDERING IF A NEWBORN CALF HAS SUCKED YET: I always used to get gun shy wondering if a newborn was actually getting ahold of the teat, making sure it was opened up, and if it was actually getting the milk......(especially on MARGINAL uddered recips).....  A buddy of mine told me to simply lift...

    "MY TURN" Information by Brad Hook.....please read.

    Correct me if I'm wrong......but I think what you're seeing is probably years of embryo transplant drugs taking their toll on her.  I'm sure she had alot of power to begin with....but if a cow has been flushed a bunch of times, and I'm sure SHE has, they CERTAINLY GET BULLY LOOKING. Everyone...

    "MY TURN" Information by Brad Hook.....please read.

    In my opinion....you really can't consider My Turn a "TRUE" outcross.......BUT, in comparison  with the close knit matings of the past 3-5 years.....he opens up a DIFFERENT ROAD that's similar and proven, yet not quite so crowded with the same ole stuff... Many called Heat Seeker an "outcross"...

    "MY TURN" Information by Brad Hook.....please read.

    I'm 10 for 12 heifers this year so far......on steer matings!!!  Aggrivating!  The only mating I wanted to be a heifer came 9 days early and was a BULL!  We didn't have that GOOD of luck with our sexed female semen!  (lol)

    Walks Alone reports

    I've got 5.....ALL out of my 301 donor, that is NOT your typical cow......she's REALLY FUNKY pedigreed (Warhorse x DeBull x Hot Coffee), and I expected about what I got. One solid black heifer is AWESOME....probably a breeding heifer......has some grow to her. One Black and White heifer...

    "MY TURN" Information by Brad Hook.....please read.

    Ain't that the TRUTH!!!..... Let me tell you a WEIRD story about that...... One day I was on a four wheeler just driving through the herd that Heat Seeker was raised in, looking at that years calf crop for the Pasture to Purple Sale.......I kept noticing ALL of these cow with tons of leg and...

    "MY TURN" Information by Brad Hook.....please read.

    "MY TURN" is unequivocally the BEST bull I've EVER promoted......and those are BIG WORDS, especially since I owned Heat Seeker, which has overtook our industry in nearly every possible way through HIS OFFSPRING. I feel My Turn is the best, BECAUSE of his CONSISTENCY.....I've never, ever seen a...

    What does Pale Face work on?

    SOME can do this......you have to use him on LITTLE TH Carriers....like Heat Seeker and Waves, Double Stuff and Visions, and those type of cows. Pale Face produced many Champions and awesome cows that are working REAL WELL, like Womanizer's mom and 2008 Ohio State Fair Grand or Reserve steers...

    Power 2 Change Update....Part 2

    Couldn't find the original thread I started a month or so ago,  but wanted to give you some reports on what I've heard so far. The breeder of P2C calved 11 1st calf heifers to him.  10 of the 11 settled to sexed female P2C......and the 11 head averaged 68#.  There was one of the 11 that had...

    Grizzly Calving Reports

    Heat Seeker x Mailman raised by Jay Solsma in northern Iowa......could do some nice things.....would never consider HIM calving ease though........  I don't think he was a tremendously hard calver, but NOT easy enough for heifers.
