I case someone wants to look...

    Calving ease Char bull

    Charo, Which group of claves had better performance and confirmation? The Wranglers or the Xplorer calves?  I am asking because the Xporler calves seem to give up plenty on birth weight with a -9.1 BT EPD.  I know Xplorer is a complete outcross to the Bluegrass decended bulls from LT mentioned...

    Maximising weight gain

    Ralgro is a chemical called Zeranol it is a mycotoxin that functions as a estrogen agonist.  It works by simulating the adrenal gland to produce the hormones that produce the growth affect.  After looking at the show rules I would not use Ralgro with out asking them first.  Given the rules I...

    Maximising weight gain

    What kind of condition is this steer in?  If he is thin you have a much better chance of hitting your minimum 1.33 kg per day weight gain requirement.  If he is already fat tthen it becomes hard to get him to sustain gains near that level.  The main thing is to keep his feed intake up with out...

    Do you suspect the 150 coq has the diluter genes from perhaps having some Charolais blood?  He lloks greyish brown and that is what give me the throught to aske the question.  Nice bull calf and I don't thnk his front end is that bad.  For heavy front cattle see some flecks.

    Dakota Gold bull

    All of these Char cross bulls closely resemble red factor charolais bulls.  why not increase your consistency by using a bull like HRJ Bulletproof: http://www.semexusa.com/beef/i?lang=en&beef=view&view2=MC357978

    Colby Community College Bull Test sale in Kansas

    My comments are based on the reality that a bull needs to be at least say 1100 before you can use him to breed cows or he will get beat up in a multiple bull situation and if he is that small we has little reserves to draw on during the breeding season and fewer cows will be bred as a result...

    Colby Community College Bull Test sale in Kansas

    I bet the prices on some of the bulls will be very reasonable even though I don't think they will be good buys due to very low performance evident in at least half the bulls. Any bull with either a an actual or adjusted yearling weight of under 900 LBs in the northern plains should be...

    Game On, Hoo Made Hoo, Hoo Dat....

    Freddy, The only reason why I suggested Pilgrim is because the guy seemed to want from his responses a power bull with some show ring credibility. If you want a sleep easy calving ease bull that showed well then look at MVY Xplorer's 21X get at...

    If you want to record the calf stay witha purebred bull.  Of the bulls you mention I like Game on and firewater the best.  If you want a red factor bull look at HRJ BULLETPROOF 411B.  Right now their are plenty of purebred bulls that show weel that also calve well.  see the latst show edition of...

    You have plenty of confidence in her.  I aways herd that the Coleman cattle were more performance than calving ease.  He doesn't have the ussual calving eease profile. But I like the bull choice for her.  For the [eople on this board in his area she is an average sized Limo heifer nothing huge. ...
