YOU MEAN THE RED MAINE BULL?  YA, I THINK IT'S DAMN HARD TO FIND A ROAN MAINE.

I didn't raise those other calves- the Jans, Mays... notice, they don't have my prefix... We get a few Julys- those are the cows that breed back a month early, notice my post above said it had a couple of summer borns- one a heifer bought, the other a july that was an odd ball. not that I care...

Now, but he's been there for 2 months, so theatrically-- they should all be bred. In case you cared- we just moved into a new house- that was top priority-- breeding the heifers was not.  they got pushed back..  hence, why I decided to turn in a 10 month old bull calf to breed them.   I...

No, just Aug and Sept...  have a few stragglers worked into spring breeding-- less than 10 percent of the herd. 

yup, if I'm going to be bored, may as well be bored in another breed. 

I'll stick to Redline and the Maines=no offense to those three programs, but not my cup of tea, I don't mind the birthweight- and want more hip shape.  Red bores me, matter of fact, every solid red on the place is getting bred to redline- then those heifers to the Ali bull-- and eventually...

That's what bulls are for...  Confidence in your own genetics... I'm not the only one who believes in bulls-- if I have to pay for them- may as well use them.

I think it's the direction of the intended breeding program... First calf heifer-- just weaned her first calf just over a month ago.  I'd say BCS is acceptable- and even though I haven't preg checked yet-- I haven't seen her in heat but once. 

best producing cow I've ever had on the place calved at 18 months, course I didn't breed her to do such- cuz she was bred when I bought her-- but none the less-- she calved at 18 months first time...

Yes, I start watching for heat at 12 months on the heifers, and if I'm AI'ing- by 13, they have been bred ideally...  If they hit 14 months, and haven't been turned in with a bull yet- I'm off my game. The bull is losing some mass since I turned him in.  I wish I would have had time to clip and...

I prefer to raise cattle than can do it on their own.. Survival of the fittest for the most part.  Most of those heifers haven't had 50 pounds of grain in their life-- I have no use for fat little made bulls. I tried the patches-- just couldn't get them to work for me.  I've used them with...

I agree he's not the widest assed, or based bull- but I'm not keeping him for that purpose- however, with that in mind, I think he's got more to him than most highly promoted 'heifer bulls'.  That's why I've got this bull:

I'd rather have calves-- than bulls that look good. I wanted to AI this group of heifers, but couldn't catch any of them in heat between winter daylight and working 10 hours every day.  Leave in the dark, come home in the dark- you know... Pretty damn hard to catch heat...To me, getting those...

He turned 12 months in Jan.  I put a halter on him for the first time the week before christmas... and the 2nd time last weekend when he was rough clipped.  He has been with 10 heifers for almost 2 months now.  He is on a grass bale, and a worn out stalk field- actually--this is what it...

I hear Leggs was a small bull who bred plenty of flash into his calves...   What makes you think so?

List them Then show me the ideal that you've produced...

I'll take that as a compliment, since that's the only fault you can find.. (lol) (clapping)

Ha.  It's almost funny (your comments).

Is Leggs a bull worth using today- if one could find semen?

Another picture to shred apart- took this morning out in the lot.  Sun was shining, and he didn't have a ton of mud in him.  Attached a straight from behind view too-- for those of you who think one foot forward from the 3/4 rear view- yields an upside down triangle..  O wait, it does-- until...
