Please only positive comments because I only want to hear how good she is...

Burch Livestock in Casper, Wyoming is having their spring sale on June 1st on https://wlivestock.com/Willoughby/Sale/burch060117-1 If anything give calves like Lots 10 and 17 a look.  We feel that they are pretty darn good.  Any of the steers would work at the county level on up.  This group has...

Update on some of our heifers. We consigned them to Burch Livestock's Spring Sale on June 1st on CW Cattle Sales

A couple more options to go with, I personally like Mr. Custom Made. He looks like he should make great females. Another to look at is Good And Plenty.

Thank you for your interest and comment. In all seriousness, we will put her in our fall sale unless someone wants to buy her private treaty.

We're pretty happy with them. It's crazy how similar they are. The Solid Gold is 43% maine. The BDR isn't registerable because Young Money is less than 50% shorthorn and the Uptown Funk is 37% simmi

Lol! Thanks. Yeah surprisingly they're all like peas in a pod. I half expected to get comments that they run downhill. Just the way they're standing.

Did those calves get big enough?

We are thinking of AI-ing to Comfort Zone (hoping for a heifer) this May before breeding her clubby down the road

Thank you!! We were just glad to get a live calf out of our heifer. We know he's not a barn burner but we think he should be at least a competitive county fair and some state fairs steer. Our BismarckXChopper heifer is milking better than a lot of the 2nd calvers so this calf is getting plenty...

This calf is out of a BismarckXChopper 1st calf heifer and a LuttonXMaine bull. He is standing on a downhill slope. He is a month old.

I have also heard that I-80 has sired some larger birth weights every so often.  Its too bad this thread stayed at the forefront for a while so everyone could see it. I think someone will have had a large birth weight calf or bad experience out of every bull that was suggested. 

Will do!

I'm not sure. We bought her as a bred heifer. She's not registerable Shorthorn or maine.She's THF/PHAF. She could even be 1600lbs. She puts a great front and a lot of bone in her calves. If I could change anything about her, I'd like to see her deeper middled. The calf she has her this year is...

Thank you. She's at least a 1500lb cow with dinner plate sized feet.

You have a very nice solid thick set of calves!

I would suggest getting a good maternal base whether it's  Simmental or just good functional females that are super sound, will milk and lay down and calve on their own. Some that could handle larger birthweights. EPDs are great but you kinda have to halfway throw them out the window when you...

Thanks! We can definitely put up some updated pictures in a month or so...

Thanks!  We don't have a lot of cows (with a few more to calve) and this year we are really heifer heavy.  We're looking at which ones we'd keep as replacement heifers.
