There should be an amendment to the constitution about private property being taken for public use with just compensation

Because it looks cool, its history, he spent time in russia as a jounalist, he met his wife in moscow , and primarily because bfd...or maybe he is a commie and wants to turn the USA into the former Soviet Union...I bet there's a  swastika or sickle & hammer flag in his bathroom...why else would...

he looks really good...are you using purebred shorthorns anymore?

tongue in cheek. I know

You're losin' it

The dam side...ultrabrite allegedly...but red calves born in 87 with notorious prefixes are anyone's guess as to their background

You're right, Mollies Defender Adair (Surge as he was known) has great numbers.  Too bad there aren't more similar to him, but not born in the late 70's.  I understand Haumont tried him but stuck with their home growns afterward. He was super popular before the frame score bulls.

TGCC is right in that it's a shame that Shorthorn breeders can't rattle off 10 names instantly who have a proven track record.  The good news is that most shorthorns can grade prime fairly quickly compared to other breeds.  Picking the right one should be easy if you're also looking at calving...

I'm picturing something like this... And, that white bull is awesome!  Of all the grainy, black & white, retro bulls everyone is using I think his picture is as good or better than any of them

I agree with Knabe on this one.  Too often people are looking for jobs that fit the degree or vice versa.  Working in show cattle is not much different than working in entertainment, comedy, music, writing, the arts, etc.  While it may seem that an "agriculture" degree would be helpful, its...

LOL...you could say the same thing about sex, alcohol, music, food, adrenaline, etc...i bet nothing's ever gone wrong with those plans

I really don't see legalization of marijuana as a threat to society.  It might be a threat to big pharma, wood paper pulp, private prison, and alcohol businesses, but not society. It was cool and popular for the youthful baby boomers back in the 60's and 70's, but now it's more of an after...

Not sure about the 50's or 60's, but it seems more likely that the black noses from the 70's and 80's would stem from Holstein or Chi as opposed to Irish Shorthorns.

I understand why there are a lot of emotions around this topic and how it can be interpreted.  Although, I didn't interpret this as a slight to beef.  They're trying to differentiate a commodity similar to what you see from restaurants who promote their use of Certified Angus Beef.  I don't...

Mark, what maine genetics were being used in these Shorthorn herds at the time?  Are there any specific maine sires that were prevalent on shorthorns in this era?

Nice picture of Real Silver!

Can anyone speak to what Irish Enforcer and Real Silver were like in person?  I've seen pictures of both as champions at shows, but never as mature bulls.  There's another pic of Irish Enforcer as champion of a show out there in a 1982 shorthorn country (I believe). These bulls seem to be the...

Wow!  That's an awesome sale result!

The book on improver would be fascinating, but I don't think the story is over.  And where the subtitle of Battle of the Bull Runts was "overcoming dwarfism", this book would have to have a subtitle like "Capitalizing Tibial Hemimelia".  We're probably 30 years away from this book.  It could...

Yes, start it with yourself
