Knabe- You said a mouthful. Right on, right on right on.

Beet pulp has approx the same energy as oats.

xray- if you want to try and use the clenbuterol, please keep us posted where you land in jail.  I'll send you a card for your birthday- maybe even 2 or 3 bdays.

We used Chopper pretty heavily in '09, and were pretty happy.  Conception rates were good, and I really like the calves. He sure did stamp the calves with a darned good look. Very consistent.  We used him in a couple of flushes, and had good results as well.

This fancy 3/4 blood heifer sells in the American Royal Simmental Sale 10-30-10. She is lot #25.  She is structurally correct, deep and smooth in her design with a great front end. Sire: Chopper  Dam: DJ Salute Daughter. DOB: 3-8-10. The video and picture were taken 10-19. Also attached is a...

Thanks for the comment on our red hf, LinZ.  I like her.  We had several Chopper calves.  We are pretty happy w/them.  They are consistent, moderate framed, have a nice look and pattern to them.  I'm sure using him again.  Tom R.

Cattle put off a tremendous amount of heat.  They need to be able to cool down in the evenings. When we have those days where the temp/humidity/lack of air movement do not let cattle cool off at night,  creates a difficult situation.  Then multiply that times ten, twenty, thirty thousand head in...

I was told the that Jirl Buck hfr was raised by Bobby Price from TX.

Hopefully this question isn't too redundant.  Is Calberta Black Impact a carrier for any of the dreaded genetic defects commonly discussed on this site?  On Cattle Visions site it says status for TH & PHA is unknown.

The process would be similar to "steam rolled oats".  Many commercial feedyards steam roll corn.  It would raise (in corn) the energy level somewhere around 10% vs. cracked corn.  The starch is more "available".

We have a half-dozen choppers.  I've been very pleased.  Moderate framed, Really nice profiled, clean-front. Thick enough for me. Not clubby thick- but sure thick enough for breeding cattle to suit me.  Birth weights have been 80-105.  I probably wouldn't use him on heifers.    He apparently is...

OCCA website says that the rule conforms to whatever the national breed association says.  (I believe that means she would have to be 50% simm or greater to show as a lo%.  As far as her showing at KC, she sure should have been  50%.

I'll try again-is she a quarter- blood or a half-blood?  I'd think that would make a difference in your bull choices, if you want to market to potential Simmental  people.  Thanks.

I was just curious how you were able to show her as a % simmi, when she is, according to you, one quarter simmi.  In theory, they need to be at least 50% simmental to show as a low% simmi.

Then how did you show her in KC as a simm?  They are to be at least a half-blood to show in an ASA sanctioned show.

Just a question-  You say she is by Invincible out of a simmXangus cow.  Is she a quarter blood simm? 

For what it's worth, the Macho hfrs are quite nice uddered.  They tend to have very nice size teats and have very good placement. Iin addition, they are well attatched.  He really stamps them for udder quality. They have been making very good, easy -keeping cows for us. 

I've got a handful of choppers and they are pretty nice- moderate ,thick, clean fronted.  I'm tickled with them.

Anyone know how Yardley's sale went today? 

Okie St has a lot of good info about different feeds.  Go to their website, then ag science area/extension.  They have several pages of different ingredients, and their nutritional values.  They actually have some really cool, free spreadsheets for balancing rations.  Or, google " Iowa Beef...
