    Galant Semen

    I also used Bar 11 Ueli and King Author.  Both were good, solid bulls that produced many high performing progeny particularly out of angus and hereford cows.  King Author stands out in my mind because he was from Britian and didn't have the classic white faced simmental pattern. I also remember...

    Galant Semen

    I remember seeing Abricot back in the day several times and that bull was MEAN.  When they fed him he would bunt the rotating feeders used in the pens and try and slam hands and arms into the feeder as it turned-hard on fences.  He was a big framed narrow bull with out much muscle. Basically a...

    Ford Ecoboost

    Delete the EGR on any car or truck and you won't pass any emissions test- even the simple diesel test were thye just check readiness and look for fault codes.  Something else to keep in mind is that if delet the EGR you will need block off plates and a custom software flash to make the engine...

    Ford Ecoboost

    The problems with the new Direct Injection turbocharged gasoline engine trucks are many.  They get great fuel economy until you try and use the available power then fuel economy drops like a rock.  Remember unlike a diesel gas engines consume fuel in a 14.7 to 1 air to fuel ratio. To get more...

    Charolais cross cattle with skunk markings

    We had problems with the french bulls throwing spots but not sunk tails or white line backs on other breeds.  The interesting thing is that many red factor cattle mark like red Holsteins or Herefords.  It it is not usual to see a buckskin coat calf with white Hereford markings since so many...

    Wrangler heifer beside firewater steerplanet veteran

    Show stppoer, 383 is a sleep easy heifer bull that in his time was one of the great Wyoming Wind sons for calving ease.. Since our cow calved so well from wrangler I would not bother with 383 on her.  The extra calving ease is wasted and I want a bull with at least the same power and...

    Wrangler heifer beside firewater steerplanet veteran

    Charguy is right.  Don't follow the crowd.  Find bulls that are unrelated to what is popular right now but right and you will be ahead of the game.

    Stopper, mcf bohannan doesn't have any calves on the ground yet and kass quiet riot has just a handful of calves registered from 2013.  This will be the first rel calf crop for quiet riot so the jury is still out on both bulls.  Bith bulls have projected EDPD below average for growth- well...

    any RED Maine bulls to buy semen on?

    Aroud a decade ago it was easy to find red purebred Maine bulls of not bad quality at stud.  I just don't see them around anymore.  I would try and call Manitou Maines up ad see if they have any solid red exportable semen in the tank they can sell you.  Using a fullbloof bull is also an option. ...

    Wrangler heifer beside firewater steerplanet veteran

    Great news that Warngler worked so well for you.  The fact that Warngler has great calving ease is validated by this BWT. EPD dropping in the latest summary.  Keep us posted as she develops. The next question is what to use on her next.  My vote would be to use a bull like Keys Ten-Acious 166S...
