    We do the farm tour as well, and its great! Team grooming is also a great way to get kids to mix and as a bonus the young kids learn from the older ones!

    Angus Bulls Help!!

    I saw some really nice SAV Camaro heifers.

    EPD's are an indication of a bull's potential. If they are making EPD #'s based on a small group of progeny, than to me they are not a sound, reliable tool. I feel more comfortable with ones that have been used on large amount of animals. I've seen dairy guys lose enormous amounts of money in...

    justintime I really like your bull, I think he's improved in looks since Agribition! We have a angus based commercial herd, with all kinds of stuff mixed in. We used a Black Angus bull and a Shorthorn bull last year and we averaged in the high 90's for birth weights. The calves were born...

    New 4-H steers (updated with show results)

    Also, a BIG congratulations to Upthecreek's daughter who got Reserve Grand Champion heifer in her first year of 4-H! Her calf was Hatfield Dottie sired by JT Ultrawash, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong upthecreek! Beautiful looking heifer!

    New 4-H steers (updated with show results)

    As you can see the steer has a slight size advantage to my son. We also wore hot pink shirts to celebrate 100 years of 4-H in Canada. It looked pretty sharp! We had put it to a vote with the 4-H members and it was the boys in the club who voted for pink!

    New 4-H steers (updated with show results)

    Well, we had our Fair this weekend and it was very successful! Unfortunately my son had to leave his heifer at home due to ringworm, but his steer did a fantastic job making him feel better about the whole deal. The sale was the most successful one we've ever had and Shorthorn steers were...

    Happy Canada Day.

    Happy Canada Day to you all! Our town has a fun day and our 4-H club participates in the parade, works the canteen, and then we have a practise show in the afternoon. It's a fantastic day!

    HB Moto Moto (Yearling Galloway bull) cleaned up and clipped. New pics 01-02-14

    Very nice! (thumbsup) My hubby keeps saying that one of these years we're gonna get some Galloway. If he sees these pictures, that might be enough to convince him! How would a shorthorn/Galloway cross herd look?  ;)

    wow! that's impressive. I love the muscle expression on him. And like XBAR, the first thing I noticed was how masculine he looks! Who were his sire and dam?  (thumbsup)

    Clean up bull

    I always find 2 year olds bulls difficult to judge. They are in their akward growing stage. That being said. Yours looks like he is doing just dandy. Would love to see him with his head up some time.  And with results like that you are probably smilin' from ear to ear ;D Would love to see some...

    Clean up bull

    How old is he? from the picture he looks pretty smooth but sometimes a head down shot helps with that. What kind of cows are you breeding him too?

    Floods

    Hope you guys are all okay over there! I am sure it will have a big impact on your pastures and crop lands! I hope that Saskatchewan can prevent a lot of damage when the water comes their way. Take care and stay safe!

    Shorthorn bulls

    Bulls like that do the breed a lot of good! Nobody can drive past a field where they're in and not take a second look!

    Opinions on Shorthorn calves

    Blossom and Zelda May look pretty good. I think those two are my favourites of the bunch.  (clapping)

    Nothing like a successful purchase!

    very nice (thumbsup) I wouldn't mind if all my 2 year olds looked and performed like that!

    shorthorn herd sire

    Thank you From what I remember of Prophet at Agribition he is a nice lookin' bull. Hatfield also had a really nice son of Governor there. (but I may be a bit biased in my opinion on that one ;) ) Its really hard to get a good picture of Governor because he's always moving/bellering.
