OK, now you're on to something. While I've said I believe they are manageable defects, I see VERY few of the farms even attempting to manage the situation. Look at the major sales this year alone. Every sale will tout the productivity and commercial viability of the group "with show ring...

She just has something about her, but I can't put my finger on it.

I like her!

In my experience AA's have a little more stretch to them, not quite as much middle.

All I've seen are the bulls on Matt's blog. What else have you heard about? Thanks

Listen, I am not condoning breeding carriers to carriers at all. But a little common sense allows you to easily navigate a breeding season and manage carriers.

"At least with scours and coyotes the calf was born with the chance of living..."   Even a carrier * carrier mating has a 75% chance of survival, depending on your predator density you could call that a wash.  ;) How many calves have you lost?

Almost every discussion at some point seems to elude to a need to rid the world of the genetic defects known as TH and PHA. The difference between a genetic "mutation", such as double muscling, and a genetic "defect" like TH is............? Nothing. Not really anyway. Maybe the guy who is...

Damn some of you people are crazy. Are we still talking bulls? If we are still talking cattle , I'll take the original.

Well, considering every heifer (bred or open) sells with some reference to being a donor in the future I would expect more marginal cows to be flushed. I mean think about this for a second...our industry is based around pictures, fit jobs, and hope. Embryos fulfill part of that equation.

Thoughts on the offering?

Bull Barn had the picture of Lautner's Untouchable not the actual IW son...so disregard my comments about him looking great, it was the wrong bull.

Lot 10 $7250 She was one of the cheaper lots. Lots 13-$48,000 1- $25,000 15 -$30,000 19 and 31-$15,000 17- 10,500 If they were the top end of the group, they were 10k+

What about GCC Untouchable, Diamond Driver, Whiskey 7, etc. All are old enough to have lots of progeny. Untouchable looks great but even the owners seem to have left him behind? Thoughts?

What is the best Irish Whiskey son to mate to Angus females........or is the original himself still the best? I want females to make club calves.

How would you like to have been the parents of the A&M player in the pile? Watching your son come out of the closet on national TV, just sad.

None of ours were over 85 lbs. Both heifers were actually under 80, I was surprised.
