We owned DFS Red Rider 839 flush mate to 844 which is in this calf's pedigree.  We used to wonder how anyone would consider these genetics low birth, calving ease?  We had multiple with abnormally large bw.  When i had a chat with Dr. Byers and Lincoln Job about there 878 calves they said the...

Dale- i did not see test results on the calf you had concerns about. So, did you just speculate that myo might be the culprit.  I have quite a few cows with very similar breeding to the bottom side of that pedigree.  I really dislike having to pay more and test for more things but, as they say...

I would breed her CSF LONG LOOK i have 30 of the on the ground now and they are great. BW are good and i like how they are growing so far. I will try and post photos soon recovering from surgery. semen will be available after the first of the year. If you want to go asterisk free we collected...

I would use night watch.  I have a neighbor that used county O and the smallest bw calf was 98# and the largest was 128#. These were angus/Hereford cross cattle. He was really surprised and said quite a few had structure issues as well. 

I have been contemplating doing the opposite.  I was going to look at my larger calves at weaning and push them to be 1200 by 12 months.  I have one now that has only been on 9 lbs of grain and free choice wheat hay since weaning and he is right at 1000 lbs.  So, i thought if i had known he...

Yep, cross your DM shorts with wygu. Sounds like the latest craze.  What do you think they would look like?

Try National Hardware Supply.  Their website won't have it but give them a call and they will help locate some.

Those are some good looking bulls! I really like the style of the curfew bull and the depth,mass and muscle of belvedere. 

That appears to be a very useful bull you've got there!

Bill Jacobs once told me to pick a number say 550lbs at weaning for heifers keep all that are above and ship the rest.  Then 5 or so years down the line increase that number to 575 or 600 depending upon how well it is going.  After awhile all the poor producers will sort off.  A agree with...

I believe they are called educated idiot's!

Cf sonic, ar su lu tonic, jfs goldenrod, crooked post stockman, jr legend, lc diamond cutter, chs royalty,  dunbeacon venture, sc irish mark, ideal irish, i will try to think of some more.

Footnote?

Another thick bull was greenridge courier. How much does it cost to produce a calf from conception to weaning. Then add the cost from weaning to harvest.  What does it cost to AI a cow, calving labor, weaning processing labor, feeding labor, harvesting labor and data collection.  What would...

Mark I did have some calves by diamond cutter they were good. The second super sport was the one I was thinking of. Ss super sport by mb steetmaker. The issue I have had with the 119N cattle is poor teat shape.

Coyote those are some nice looking bulls.  Cowboy I like the one on the top best.

The RB Eagle line (eagle 148,255,239,etc..)has some muscle but are inconsistent in quality in my experience but may work for you. They did produce some good cattle. Alta cedar signature 119n or perfect storm would both add muscle. Waukaru used IWF MAGIC and made Copperfield both very thick...

There are many things to consider for this.  First half of the genetic input comes from the COW and the other half from the bull.  The other thing that is often overlooked is that the genetic component only makes up half of the equation. The other half comes from the environment and how the cows...

I would contact the assn for clarification and actual percentage but, the calf should be considered 50% in the regestry.  My understanding with shows is that nationally sanctioned shows calf must beb50% or greater. Smaller county fairs and most jackpots, go by if you have a pare then you show. ...

Sultan of jazz, hp manimal, muridale robert, and jdmc remedy are ones to look at.  non jazz, non bonanza options are coalpit creek leader, kaper 4508, ar su lu osage,sull handsome reward, kolt Kane nitro and crooked post stockman.
