    2017 Denver Display Bulls

    IMHO: Seems like he would still need some advertising of some kind.  And the NWSS is the place to do it for a program like his!  Does he have a booth in the yards?

    Silveiras style is he heifer safe?

    GCC Gold Standard.  Got a heifer calf out of one of my first calf heifers this year out of GCC Gold Standard.  May be the best heifer calf that I have ever had out of a first calf heifer.  Nice front end.  Feminine.  Good Structured.  Good on her feet and legs.  Should give you some extra depth...

    Squeeze Chute/Alleyway System

    When setting up your system...Is it more beneficial to place the opening going into the tub, and the controls for the squeeze chute on the same side? Also, do most of you have a narrow "raised walk-way" attached to the side of your "alleyway" between your tub and squeeze chute? How much is it...

    Mckinley bull

    Has anyone here seen McKinley's dam?  Wondering what her udder and teats look like and how much milk she has?  Also, how much rib and depth of middle, she has? Anyone know where I could view a photo of McKinley's dam online?  Thank you.  :)

    Squeeze Chute/Alleyway System

    Thank you!  Many of my cows have been handled allot.  They are pretty calm.  Perhaps a "Bud Box", would not work well in my situation.

    Mckinley bull

    It will be very interesting to view and evaluate his calf crop next year.  I do not like to use "new and/or unproven bulls" to make replacement females. I will be anxious to see how much depth of rib and "middle" he transmits to his calves. Has anyone here seen McKinley's dam?  Wondering what...

    Squeeze Chute/Alleyway System

    I live in Michigan and Cowco Livestock Equipment is made in Indiana.  I have seen there cattle equipment and agree with your assessment.  I am planning on purchasing a Cowco tub and alleyway and three gates (to attach to the tub), to start and use my old squeeze chute for now.  Planning on...

    Squeeze Chute/Alleyway System

    Thanks for your ideas!  Please excuse my ignorance...but, what is a "bud box"?  What/how is it used in an alleyway system?  I have never seen one or have never seen pictures of one.  Who sells them?  Where might I see a photo of one online? Thanks,

    Squeeze Chute/Alleyway System

    Do most of you have some sort of squeeze chute/alleyway/tub system? I am about to re-do/build a new system for handling my small 25-30 cow calf operation. Is yours outdoors or in a barn? Any ideas or thoughts, especially for movement/flow and gating, for getting cattle into the tub, would be...

    Calf reports on GCC Wizard?

    Thank you, Sherudam.  Sounds good! Can anyone comment on how he is working on "clubby bred type cows"? Cows that are "harder doing", need softening up and could use some added milk? Will he improve udders, and teats shape and size"?

    Calf reports on GCC Wizard?

    I remember reading many sale catalogs last fall and winter with bred females being bred to GCC Wizard.  Along with quite a bit of semen selling on him.  Who among you had GCC Wizard calves this spring?  Or have seen GCC Wizard calves somewhere else? Please give us your thoughts on his calves. ...

    Question: Where can I have testing done for TH and PHA?

    Where can I have testing done for TH and PHA?  I haven't checked any cows/heifers for several years and I would like to check a few cows/heifers status on TH and PHA. Could someone please give me some contact information or a link to a website for testing? Also, how is it done now? Is it...
