we have been experiencing the same thing with our Angus steer. he is a son of Sankeys Lazer our of an Iron Mtn daughter.  several people have suggested to us to push more energy, predominately Corn, was told as much as he would eat for the next month.

this is a Blue Chip bull calf we are raising & are going to show in 2017.. this pic was from October 2016.  the performance has been amazing.  He was a 71lb calf at birth & weaned in September at 904lbs non creep.  He is a February calf

Thanks

2/7/2016 Angus Bull / CM Blue Pride 166 / Sire:  EXAR Blue Chip Dam:  EXAR Pride 5261 Adjusted weaning weight: 903lbs  Ratio 104 Adjusted Birth wt: 71lbs  Ratio 101 Any and all opinions are more than welcome...  We are going to show him in 2017 and then not sure what the plans are for him after...

How can we get more capacity without blowing out her brisket.... We stood 3rd in class probably profiled the prettiest, but the two in front of us just had way more mass...We feed steam crimped rolled oats, beet pulp, ground corn cobs, and just enough of a 14% ration to get her to clean it up...

nice calf... you should have a lot of fun with her..

I also agree with the feed twice a day & also might try a supplement, like Moor Mans eat more or a apetite express... both of these help keep the good bugs going in their belly and help keep them on feed better.  also feed at the same times everyday (more routine the better for some of them)...

thank you... when you look at them everyday it is always nice to get other peoples perspectives... 

I know its tough to tell much when they are this young, but we are pretty excited about this one!!! Sankeys Lazer x Sandhill I M Girl 172 (iron mtn x TC Friction) Any opinions are appreciated!!

I have reg angus cows.  Wanting to breed a couple this year to a clubby bull.  I have a couple options already in my tank... Opinions on Power & Balance bull.. Or Ida Man... Pics of power & balance.  Has anyone had experience with calves from this bull??

I really like that shorthorn heifer.. she looks really nice... thank you to everyone for their comments so far... I really appreciate all the feedback on these calves.  Thats what I keep trying to tell myself that our goal is NJAS in July so sacrifice some greenness early to end at 12 o clock...

the first pic is of our bred & owned heifer...  She is a June Burgess out of CM T816 IN Focus....  got the same response in ring with her.. too green & gave up to much condition to the calf in front of her..  was 2nd in class.

February Classen heifer... she stood 3rd in class of 8 at our State Futurity show... Judge said she was too green to stand higher in the class.. Any opinions on the heifer are appreciated & how do you put more condition on without getting them fat and blowing out the brisket?

I am trying this for the first time this year.  Using Sun Valley Vet out of Salina, KS... cost was explained to me as $60/embryo transfered if flush not done there... calve out program= $800 at time pregnancy confirmed & $1000 at time pick up calf...  when you figure cost of...

i am an agent in KS, OK, and Iowa and write policies on cattle... the Hartford is where I write most of these policies.  They have different kinds of policies for cattle depending on what you want them for and to cover.  They do have a Full Mortality policy.. this is what I usually write on show...

not the best pics, but here is a couple rough ones of our Angus heifer for this next show season. She is a EXAR Classen out of a Dawson's Cherokee cow. opinions welcome...

thank you cowboy_nyk!!!  I think the CM Cult Classic calf will make a pretty nice Angus Show steer / this will be the first bred & owned one in 4 years that we have had.. so kind of super excited for that aspect. The other one would make a good Bull, but with CED only +1,,, gets tough to sell...

Bulls are weighing 700...thinking about castrating them because their calving ease numbers are horrible & i have a small herd in my area without the big name so makes it tuff to sell a bull...

These are all bred & owned calves.  First pic is a June Heifer calf --- top side is an in Focus out of a Forever Lady, bottom side is a Burgess our of a Providence. Second Pic is a January Bull/Steer--- He is a Dameron C-5 American Classic x Iron Mtn Cow Third Pic is a January Bull/Steer--- He...

american classic will add growth...  used him on a couple moderate 2nd calf heifers and the calves are phenominal... both of them equally as good...  calves were mid to uper 70's birthweight and have exploded with growth one of these calves is out of a iron mountain x TC Forever cow the other...
