They are all about frame 6's... They certainly don't need to be bigger...but we won't need them to be downsized too much either!

NICE heifers, oakbar...! I always found if a heifer got lost in the middle of the class as a calf, her calves usually ended up at the top!!! You know how it goes!!!

I am starting to look around for clubby bulls to use for breeding this spring and am hoping some of you Steerplaneteers can help me out! Does anyone have a suggestion for pretty easy calving (consistently, I'm scared of Monsters!!!) black clubby bull that will add some bone, hair and thickness...

We've had great success for maternal genetics with MSU STAR Headliner, and FCC Absolute. Both bulls have given us excellent daughters - low birth weights, extremely sound, moderate frame scores, and with excellent udders, feet and legs.

Romax, We used Gigolo Joe on Hereford x Shorthorn cows this year and our birthweights were between 85 - 95 lbs (Of course, our Canadian winters tend to add 10 pounds to an American birthweight), as does using him on cows. I wouldn't hesitate to use Joe on heifers, as they were moderate enough...

I'm wondering if the misunderstanding wasn't perhaps, a bit of a misquote?? The story also states that the steer was being shown with a nose-ring, which I highly doubt was the case....hmmmm.... ::)

I'm not knocking...knocking the showing. However, it seems a little bit absurd to paint everyone with the same brush. I go out and report the exact date my show calf was born (because I can compete without lying). If I have a bull calf with a 122 # BW, I steer him because I don't want anyone to...

We are just getting started for 2009, with 20 calves on the ground out of about 100 head. In addition to our herd sires Canasta (Sonny son), Maverick (Mr. Gus 30B son),  and Grandmaster (Quartermaster son) - all Shorthorns, and our Headliner 10H son (Hereford), we used DR World Class...

Thanks to you both! That is perfect timing for me. Perhaps I will see a few of you down there this year!

I am trying to get my plane ticket booked for the NWSS. Can anyone tell me when the club bulls are supposed to be on display this year? Maybe I am reading things wrong, but I can't seem to find the dates!! Thanks for the help!

Thanks everyone for the great comments! It is always nice to hear such a positive response. All three calves are the same breeding. They are sired by Daines Thriller 111F (Purebred Black Maine) and out of Hereford/Shorthorn cows sired by KMS Maverick 30B 17L (the heifers dam) and KMS...

We have two steers and one heifer selling at the Canadian Western Agribition Prospect Show and Sale on November 25, 2008 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. They are half or three quarter siblings to last years Reserve Champion Steer at the same show. Please visit our website for more information...

I think I've figured out how to attach a logo without a background to Steerplanet! I sent you an e-mail anyways!

Linnettejane, PM me your email address and I will send you a file with what you are looking for...!!!

As an interesting aside, traits that are exhibited by a carcass winning steer can also NOT be acceptable in the commercial world. ei, ski feet that would cause a sister of that steer (who was slaughtered at 14 months) to not be able to walk through the pastures until she was 12 years old...

I, too, think the Shorthorn EPD's have gotten a little strange...and useless. I know bulls with a 0.6 EPD that others have reported 140 pound calves off of. Shouldn't a bull with a 0.6 EPD NEVER  have an 140 lb. calf? Our best cows, who normally wean 800 lb plus calves, have dropped to having...

Ha Ha, I agree! (and I'm young). What's the message with that one? Book now and get a free escort?!!  :D Things that make you go **ICK**

We breed and sell cows specifically to be recips. They are Hereford Shorthorn crosses that we normally sell or start putting eggs in at age three, which seems to be a great age for this. We like the Hereford Shorthorn cross because they have the milking ability from the Shorthorns in a tidy...

I'm with Stumpy on this one! We usually surgically dehorn the ones we are going to show at about 5 months of age, so the sooner you can get him to a good vet, the better. If the vet knocks him right out, he won't remember a thing and won't be head-shy later. The vet can also file the sides of...

It was actually Proud Spell that ran in the Kentucky Oaks, same trainers different horse. Eight Belles wasn't raced in the Oaks at all - that WOULD be silly!
