What is this heifers EPDs like?  Actual birthweight?  What is her breeding?  WR wangkler is a good bull but he combines tow of the better heifer bulls uded in the past 20 years Baldrige fasttrack and Oakdale Duke  I don't want to get into a line breeding situation here.  In any event other bulls...

The synthetic lines developed at the university of Alberta ranch ar still going strong.  They are a milticolored group of very useful cattle.  You can buy bulls from this operation but be warned their is a waiting list.  They have every color in the galloway herd book which is to say many.

Here is a study that actually measured milk production in diffrent beef populations including butterfat: http://pubs.aic.ca/doi/pdf/10.4141/cjas84-032 Note the breed with the highest betterfat is the Hereford.  The othe breeds used were the beef synthetic ( approx 30% Angus, 30% Charolais, 30%...

In the 6500 Watt portable class the Ridgid RD906812B from Home Depot isn't a bad buy at around $ 1,000.  No power spiking and very clean power.  Run time is 9 hours at full load.  The Honda cost 4 times as much, didn't have the capacity but is quieter.

For black simmy bulls look at MLC Mr Justice or Mr Hoc Broker. For a Full Fleck I would look at IPU Romano.

What does kind of cololor does the IP want?  Diluter gene or non diluter gene?  What is the desired color of the calf?

If you are lookng at getting the diluter gene in an easy calving package look at the Murray Grey.  Very easy calving and moderate framed.  For a good selection of bulls see; http://www.eaglesrun.com/sale/salesemen.html

XBAR, The tan or dark cream colored cattle are heterozygous for the non diluter allele.  The diluter is not completely dominate and you will likely see some color in heterozygotes.  A homozygous non diluter is ether red or black.  With out the diluter allele being present all Charolais would be...

The correct response is that you want a bull that is homozygous for the dilution gene.  Fortunately the vast majority of purebred Charolais are homzygous for the dilution gene.  However having a pink nose is no indicator that an animal is a homozygous diluter.  The vast majority of red factor...

I would look at VIN-MAR O'Reilly Factor for an Angus.  She should be able to handle a bull alitle above 0 on birth weight on the angus summary and this bullhas as much power as you can get in calving ease Angus. If it we me I would be looking at a purebred calving ease charolais bull like ...

Whaty is the pedigree on this cow?  Has she ever skpped  havinga calf for a year?  What are tyour brreding goals?  Areas for improvement?

A a high performance bull that combines WCR, Effertz and Cnadian breeding with super high EPDs is RAWES Arden 54U: http://tripleaaacharolais.com/charolais-herd-sire-rawes-aden-54u/.  Tjis bull come out of one of the biggest charolais herds in canada and the cattle are not shown.  Their purbreds...

How about using JDJ Maximo on some those impressive M6 females.  Plenty of performance  and an outcross.  The semen is tied up but is being sold art auction.  Also the debruycker program is noted for strong cow families. Also if you like Cigar type breeding what about WC Benelli? I also think...

Thomas is using WR Wangler W601 on their Firewater heifers with good results.  He is available from Genex: http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1CH00961&lang=EN

Freddy, If I offer to take back a bull a customer is not satified with for any reason I am the guy taking the risk- NOT the customer.  This is particularly true if I don't know my cattle, my customer, or his cattle.  By the way I in making recommendations for what bull a customer should buy I...

It is very difficult to make generalized statements  on whetger any bull will work on heifers.  Much depends on what the heifers are like physicaaly genetically. Also what the management capabilites are critical.  One way we found to get around the hard calving problem is to sell a bull we know...

It wasn't advertising that did it for the Charolais.  It was word of mouth from people that used the cattle.  The  big thing is that the breed created a performance evaluation system that allowed for the selection of easier calving and better growing cattle at the same time.  After that...

The big thing that separates the Charolais bred from also rans like the Maine Anjou, Chianina, Blondes and to a lessor extent the Limousin is that Charolais breeders listen to their bull customers and select accordingly.  When the first Full french came over they established the Conception to...

The fact that many of the imported breeds that had dispostion problems were dual purpose doesn't explain everything.  By the far the worse offender in this department the Chianina has the least milk production I know of for an import.  I was told by the Italians in selecting a drought animal...
