3500 on the high end 2500 low end 90 days bred. You are correct that salvage value is low but the cost of labor to set up these cows is huge.

I like the photo! Does it say where in California the photo was taken?

That sale appeared to have some of the most useful and diverse genetics I have seen all year. 

Any sale results?

By submitting dna, I meant just turning in the sample and storing it for a 10-15 dollar fee.  Then the owner or new owner could test easily at anytime.  I have the same thought to test all herd sires and use only those that are free until pedigree provides proof of no carriers.  I think in...

Maybe it should be mandatory that all bulls must have DNA on submitted before they receive a registration.  Now I not sure what the cost would be but, you think we could get the cost down if that many samples were submitted annually.  This idea sounds simple but, I hate forcing people to do things. 

Earlier in the thread it was stated that there are 9 variants and that Angus have 2.  How many are in the shorthorn gene Poole is unknown so, the sires you have identified could have separate variants. With that said, I agree with Dan an Jamie testing current sires will be more beneficial since...

Mark I have not used the bull but of the 269 reported calves at the Asa 30% are over 100lbs and five were over 140.  His epd suggest that he would be this way.

Thanks for the info Okotoks!

Has anyone used this bull or no much about him.  His bw is stayed at 104 so I am wondering about birth weight and then how they grow? His photo on the lucky springs Web page looks neat and I really like the cow family he is out of.  I saw his half brother in Denver and thought he was sound but...

Since you stated that it is a heifer I would suggest Diamond proficy.

I don't think the animal was ever tested. I believe that a random designation for genetic condition was assigned on older animals to make the program work and they have been going back through and removing them once they have been found.  Yes, if it was homozygous for PHA it would be dead. DS on...

Nice calf! The dam really helps to make him interesting.  Who wouldn't want their bred heifers to look like her.

The only issue it that the sire is PHA positive.  This creates a problem in that it sits on the same allele and seems to bring out the DS and make it more prominent.(i.e. heterozygous calves can and do exist DS conditions and are more prone to when also carriers of PHA ) which the calf would...

I have not tried to peruse breeding black shorthorns, rather, I have been putting a purebred bull out with my recipe for years and retain the daughter for future recipient cows.  In doing so, I have had on female that was a blue roan and was 15/16 blood.  However, she was kept at 1/2 blood...

The gut is typically full of good bacteria that can be wiped out by strong doses of antibiotics.  I would start him on some probiotics as well as following Olson's advice.

Get her in and check her temp. She aborted the may a.i. and came in but may now have a u.t.i. if no temp and no further symptoms then a may be due to the breeding on 7/11.

Tuff to say for sure but she my be cystic.  This will require a shot of GnRh to remedy.  However if you spent a lot on the embryo wait and watch her for 21 days at the end of that time a good vet should be able to ultrasound for a pregnancy.  If she comes in again before 21 days give here the...

My cousins Angus bull calves avaraged 850 at weaning this year with one in particular that weighed 1018lbs at 215 days old.  The cow weighed 1500lbs.  He also had a 105 lb bw.  They only get grass an salt.
