Great set of heifers, love the deep roans. How have you used the 329 bull, will be interesting to see the results.

Hadn't thought of manipulating a whole sire group which i guess would work, was more thinking of an individual where it would be buffered by the pedigree info. I'm not sure only recording a couple of your top calves helps their numbers at all, it could actually hurt them. If you only record your...

Would it be easier and more of a worry to manipulate actuals than EPD's Are EPD's just an easy target when the performance of an animal disapoints. Do EPD's have a minimum accuracy or must data be recorded for that trait  before they will be published. The most important part of an index is that...

The itenerary and costings are now available.I believe there has been good interest especially from the UK where shorthorns are on a high. http://www.shorthornbeef.com.au/2013worldconference

My understanding of EBV's, that i presume are calculated the same as EPD's, is that they are calculated from the comparison of the variation within a group and between linked groups. So in  a group of 100% unassisted births there is no variation to compare so will not be used in analysis. The...

Three are here, two i've used and ones being marketed but hasn't been collected. I like Prophecy as well but don't think he's coming this way. Maybe a roan son sometime. ;) Primo's left some good cattle, added some volume which we wanted. Rama looks like he could be similar, Has anyone seen...

Can anyone give opinions or compare these bulls, Saskvalley Primo and Victor, Paintearth Rama, Alta Cedar Real Steel and Red Rose Gold Spear Ruffian Thanks for any help.

Mature cow weights are poorly recorded but for Australian shorthorns the max was 2420 with an average of 1300. If i'm reading the table right thats from the start of the durham project

A combination of ebv's and what i think is a suitable structure. I think we are lucky to have the durham reasearch herd where every calf from all the sires has been fully recorded. Using a couple of these bulls has a big affect on the numbers in our herd to where i think they match what i see...

Yeah but there sires are from up there. Thought you might recognise the bull to or the background. Aussie that might be right about how we speak but you guys wear underwear on your feet (lol)

And some more, I'll add that we have no snakes, crocs, poisonous spiders and not many sharks so you will have nothing to worry about.

There has been quite a large north american influence in our cattle with many imported semen sires. In recent years i know of Crawfdown fighter pilot, Shadybrook powerplay, Major Leroy, Red Rose Goldspear Ruffian, Saskvalley Primo, Crooked post AAA and a number of bulls from Alta Cdar,Eionmor...

With no knowledge other than a google search i would guess taipan which can be black and 3m long, not sure if thats abit short. but on the up side they have the most potent vemon in australia.

Hopefully attached is our AI sire which is being used in a trial at Mt Linton Station, one of the farm vists, where 160 angus heifers have been breed half to shorthorn sires and half to angus sires to evaluate the difference from birth through to end product under the same grass feed conditions...

Hi Everyone. Hope that some of you are starting to plan your trip to the 2013 world conference in New Zealand. It runs from the 8th March to the 26th March with a couple of different options depending on how much time you have. I believe it is also timed so that the Sydney show will be straight...
