Thanks and good luck. He should work well.  I have also been happy with my royal affair calves.  I have a heifer out of a golden child x Meyer cow that I like better than the one pictured.  Might want to consider him for your Maine cows if you want to save your lock and load semen. I also saw...

I agree on the Angus based female. I would also use him on a heavy boned female.  I think he works real well simmental females as well as long as they're angular and feminine. This is a lock and load female we raised out of a purebred Angus cow.  Just love her as a cow. Thinking about flushing...

Yes. Also use hot sweat.  It will clean them up.  Use it daily and wash out.

Since no one has chimed in yet i will say that I have not seen any calves by him,  but he should do what you think you need for that cow.  He's a very good bull. As is his sire and full brother.  I have seen them all at stud.  I would definitely not be afraid to breed to any of them.

That's great advice. Many producer's  are feeling boxed in by dwindling opportunities for grazing and high feed costs the last few years.  High beef prices are currently creating optimism but still difficult to compete with large farm and ranch operations and the advantage they have. Sounds...

Nice looking heifer.  I have a couple that are bigger framed than I anticipated,  but are starting to get some depth and are looking better.  What age is she?

If she was registered or could be id use No Remorse.

I was there.  Very deep steer show.  There were a couple left standing that you could actually make a legit case for grand or reserve.  Most notably the reserve division 2 X bred and reserve charlois. Division 2 was extremely tough and judge talked about that during show,  then used division 3...

Keep an eye on her.  I've had several do that. Some are just prone to it for some reason and it's never really a problem.  If she hasn't done it before I would say she is running out of room. Could be a big calf or twins. If it comes out after she calves then as others have pointed out you've...

I was surprised Jorgenson steer that got 3rd overall didn't win. I also really liked the reserve Charolais a lot.  It was a very high quality show with a much better top 5 than last year. A lot of really good ones.

I used fat butt on a couple Angus cowd and was very underwhelmed.  Not real thick and not real deep.  I think I would try cerveza as well.

Wow...you're very dedicated to your heifer and getting her ready.  I really admire your dedication.  Keep working with her like you are.  I would tie her up with her head high for about 3 hours every morning.  If you can I would blow her out and rinse her, blow/brush her dry. Then tie her down...

Those are all very good bulls. The kicker is the stipulation of 85# bw. They are all potentially 100+  or could very well be 75-85#. The first year I used monopoly they were all 80-90# Next year I pulled everyone of them.  Biggest 140#. Most of the calves will have very manageable birthweight...

Cattle Visions definitely has the most sires listed.  Many breeds and lots of choices.  Otherwise use Google search to look for something specific to the breed or particular bull you're looking for.  Hope this helps.

Wow...talk about stepping in it.  The executive who made this decision needs a pair because they're up to it knee deep. Love the comments section,  the whole customer base is alienated by this move.  Thanks for sharing.

Haven't seen many Optimus prime calves and have been curious about the quality.  She looks good and certainly has the pedigree to be a great cow. Good luck. Looks like she is coming along nicely.

I would definitely contact the seller.  If he wants to sell you anything in the future he will make it right.  What is the breeding on this heifer?

In my part of the world I would say the lower numbers are directly related to the number of farm kids. As the planters have gotten bigger,  the population has gotten smaller.

I guess we can all assume they will not be buying any show pigs either then.  Some how these sales have to be able to identify individual carcasses and hold the people responsible for what they put into their animals. A producer who feeds out commercial cattle would be held accountable as I am...

Royal Affair will add guts,  soundness,  and overall mass.
