I do the same thing.  My kids show some plain old commercial most the time.  (Although I am breeding some cows clubby and for clubby mamas) This year they are hereford sired and red so that gives them a double black eye.  (pun intended)  I also calve in April and May.  I would get on a good...

Guess all those carrier cows will be bred to simi bulls to jump on the sim-angus commercial bull band wagon.  I noticed more of the commercial sim-angus bulls at angus bull sales.  Is it just that it is a good cross for commercial cattlemen or is it a way to use the carrier cows in the program...

Got to have the Lupher C17 cow in the mix.  Mother to Whiplash and a host of others. 

One of the first 3 show heifers we had didn't breed.  Her being a free martin might have had something to do with it.  Also the reason she was shown in the market class.  ;D

Fat Butt is pretty good hair.  Better than most. 

Snow, wind, rain, hail and back to rain today.  Haven't seen the mountains once today.  Price you pay to live in the chosen land.  <beer>

(clapping) (clapping) I almost completely agree with you.  My only exception is a good angus/hereford cow.  Tough to go wrong with a tried and true black baldie mother cow.  They just flat work.  In my world if a cow can't be bred for a heifer to make a replacement or bred to clubby bull and...

With these cows being 3/4 or more Angus would you still use Monopoly? 

I would second your good maine bull response.  I am using an IW son out of Whiplash's mother.  He is flat out working on my cows.  Doubt I get any big winners but I have several that are good enough for most Idaho county fairs.  Hair is okay but stout, square, and clean fronted.  Only complaint...

I would use this bull as my maine and simi influence.  I think his daughter will flat out work as cows in any operation.  Meyer is known to work in the simi-angus deal and the old lash cow isn't exactly a slouch. Lash is a Cunia son so there is your good maternal maine in the background.  For...

We showed a Carnac heifer that finished at 1,110 lbs, Prime, 13.8 rib eye, and a yield grade 3.  She was also done at 14 months.  We had to push her hard to the end as the show had a 1,050 weight limit.  Made it but it was close.  So club calves can yield and grade but they can also be hard...

There is a new bull called Insanity.  He is a Sun Seeker out of a Kryptonite out of a Windsor cow.  Kryptonite is a Whiplash.  There looks to be plenty of grow in the pedigree.  I am thinking he should work on angus based cows.  We will see in a year as I will be putting some in this spring.  ...

Wow! I leave a few days and wonderboy shows back up.  Guess we all need to take the advise of not feeding trolls.  Commercial cowman here.  Raising commercial cattle in the wild west.  There are times that you need a vet.  Pairs right now are bringing 2250, calves were contracted at $1.84.  To...

We have done a number of c-sections over the years.  The vet we have now that has been the vet for the last 20 years had always gotten a live calf out of the situation.  We have lost a couple of cows down the line with infection or just did not rebreed.  Nothing surprising about that.  I have...

Back when I was milking cows on a holstein dairy we had a few that tipped the 150 lb mark.  They were out of 1900 lb cows so it wasn't that big by comparison. 

What type of cows are you breeding him to?  I am looking for a consistent clubby bull.  (I know a consistent breeding crossed up clubby bull is a bit of an oxymoron.)  Not looking for all world calves but some county fair calves. 

So does that mean that the 100 lbs calves out of meyer are the anomaly or the 75 lb calves are.  Generally speaking Meyer is not considered calving ease and heifer safe.  That said Whiplash was a first calf.    As I tell my kids all the time can and should are 2 different words. Can you breed...

Never had an EXT cow that wouldn't mother up to her calf.  Never had an EXT leave her calf either.  I am not sure on a farm they would work too well. 

Tough calving.  Not recommended on heifers.  As said above if you have semen on him use it on a proven flush not a single calf from and unproven heifer.
