Wow...I like the way he looks!

No offense to anyone, but Philosophy and History should be in the top 5 for sure.  You don't see help wanted ads for philosophers and historians.  I majored in Ag Business, worked on farms and ranches, and smoked the regular business students when I went back for an MBA.  The emphasis on...

I'm 99% sure it's a son.  There were a number of Apache bulls of varying ages in the field.  I don't think the pics on the website do the bulls justice (not that the program is trying to win any beauty contests).  I've seen another picture of the Cherokee bull taken during a different time of...

I've been a fan of "Albaugh's Frosty Acres" for a long time.  I had a chance to visit Norris and Ron at Albaugh Ranch in Fallon last June.  They are wonderful people.  The AR and FA prefixes are genetically the same.  J.E. Albaugh started Frosty Acres back in the 40's.  His sons went on to...

Par Defender

I think I remember hearing that the Haumont herd was linebred to Whitehall Sultan who was famous over 100 years ago. My favorite Haumont Bull (that I've seen in pictures) has to be Defender Promise who was by Par Defender.  This guy looks thick.  Both bulls look good.  I'm going to try to add...

I remember these AI catalogues from back then.  They are like the "missing link" from the 10 frame cattle of the 80's and early 90's to todays cattle.  It's interesting to me for a couple of reasons.  First, there seems to be more genetic diversity back then (albeit probably not the best...

Funny you mention Frank Haumont.  I visited Mary Bell Cooksley at Haumont Farms this summer and was completely humbled by the experience.  Mary Bell is an amazing person.  She's in her 90's and she drove up on a swather while I was waiting in front of her house.  Her cattle don't have appendix...

I'm not familiar with Angus, but did the angus cattle that won at NAILE have genetics or the "type" that appeal to commercial cattlemen?  Or, were they "showring" angus? (if there is such a thing)  It's been mentioned that the Shorthorns that win are bred for the showring...I'm wondering how...

I noticed some older semen from the 80's in the Swing the Gate sale- SMF Fifth Avenue, CSF Valentino, Ballyart Vantage, and Huberdale Master Charge.  I'm kinda worried about bringing back Fifth Avenue.  I'm not trying to bash him because I've seen outstanding calves by him, but the BW are...

I've noticed this same trend...I have Shorthorn Country's that go back to the late 70's and there was definitly more to read, and more to take away from a learning standpoint.  I often wondered why it changed.  Even Doc Hunsley would write articles and source data.  Now it seems as though some...

Speaking of the articles in the Shorthorn Country, I'm wondering if there is factual proof or confirmed evidence of cheating why not make the names of the unethical breeders public?  I don't know who they are referring to, but as a consumer I would like to know so that I can avoid them.  Not...

I can't wait until the video game version comes out!  What are you doing right now if you were on that SEAL team???  Whew!!!  How about if you were the guy that did the deed???  Hard to follow that up...to express your feelings to family and friends...especially when you can't talk about it!?!? ...

That is a heavy muscled shorthorn cow.  Where does her muscle shape come from? (dam, sire?)  I see she has a good mix of American, Canadian, and Irish genetics.  She goes back to CCS Sterling II four times.  Don't know much about him, but I really liked his sire, CCS Sterling.  I saw a video of...

The Test Station #1 Bull could be the next great white hope...he looks good and has good numbers...he's polled so the irony wont be too great...Im betting on an above sale average price based on what everyone's been saying about hide color in Canada  http://www.shorthorn.ca/lot1.htm Peronally...

can someone post pictures or a link?  sorry if I missed it

Does anyone have any reports on this guys calves?  How do they perform, are they good, is he still alive, etc?  Thanks!  GM

OKshorthorns, it's interesting to see how the term outcross is used in Shorthorn Country advertisements.  I don't know what the rule of thumb is for "outcross", but based on what I see people labeling as outcross my assumption is that they mean there are no common ancestors up close in the...

Future Breeder, I'd say it depends on what you want to do.  I did Ag Business at the community college prior to transfering to a university where I got a BS degree in Ag Business.  Depending on the job market in your area, it could be tough getting a high paying job even if you have a 4 year...

Reading the subject I thought this was a thread about a new promo bull  (lol) hope you're cows turn out okay! GM
