Not to Hijack the thread....but:  Chap did you purchase your new edition/ace bull from the Deiter Dispersal, did you purchase a bred ace daughtere, or did you just raise the calf?  I ask because we have used a lot of their bulls and bought some of their cows.  We didn't care for the new edition...

I am trying to avoid the defects.  I am starting a herd and trying to breed for look and maternal qualities.  I really like the Monopoly calves, but I don't want the TH or to pay that much for his semen.  My alternative is to try his full sib, All Aboard.  I am hoping that he will produce...

I was wondering if anyone had attended or had any information regarding these sales.  I was curious what people thought of the Special Delivery heifers and what they sold for. Thanks.

Pictures are on the website, but you have to do some hunting.  The sort cattle feature of the catalog will reveal the pictures.  I don't know why it isn't more obvious:  they are some darn nice pictures.

Thanks for all the insights and comments.  I have considered some of those options.  Mama's Boy, Star Power, and I used Nelson's Gigolo Joe bull on a chiangus heifer.  I haven't heard much about the 262T bull though.  I would like to stay polled especially with the Fear This in her pedigree.  I...

I saw something awhile back about an ISU project that utilized semen from a scottish bull named Ballot of Bandolier.  They managed to create three bull calves from this champion from the 1950's, and I believe they are marketing semen from one of them.  Ballot of ISU 667 or something similar was...

I was thinking of something a little more modern and more readily available.  Are you suggesting that line........draftpick......or something else with midas in the pedigree.  I am certainly not limited to using a maine bull on her.  I may end up going chiangus.  She is due any time to a...

I have a strictly business cow that is very moderate.  She is a former show heifer of my wife's.  She is not a good milker, and I would like to build our numbers.  I am looking for a bull that will increase frame a bit, clean her up a bit, and provide milk and maternal traits.  And is free of...

I am still amazed at how strongly he has been promoted..........and this is the first time I have seen anyone write or show a picture of his offspring.  I would like to see some calves and here more reports.  I know that several cows in Deiter Bros. Dispersal were carrying his service.  Anyone...

Is In Focus a defect carrier?  I was under the impression he is.  I think you could find another angus bull for calving ease and maternal genetics that does not have a defect.  If, you are looking for a bull with a defect that is angus based:  I would go with RDD New Direction.  We bred him to...

I think that Mytty In Focus has been dramatically overused.  I would stay away from using a angus bull with a genetic defect.  Final Answer seems to be a decent choice.  We pulled some Northern Improvement bull calves, but the heifers didn't have the best pelvics either.  The heifers were...

I am also very anxious to hear about some 1 in a million calves.  I am considering using him on some fall calvers, but I like to see some calves on the ground first.  I also am curious about Star Power and Copyright.  I have liked some Star Power calves, but I have yet to see a...

I really like the looks of this bull, and the amount of quality females this program has.  I am curious if anyone can provide information regarding this bull.  I was thinking of using him on some mature chi-maine-angus cows.   Thanks  Didn't see the previous post.....sorry.......  Has anyone...

I just saw that BPF was having a mature cow sale along with their regular October sale.  The ad showed most of their proven donors for sale.  Are they shifting gears?  It seemed strange to me to sell that many donors............Donors that are the matrons of bulls in stud.  Any opinions?

I have been pretty sceptical of the sooner genetics, but Green Valley has also used Sooner and produced some excellent looking cattle(in pictures anyway).  I certainly agree that the price of the genetics has been inflated due to the lack of availability.  I considered using Boomer, but I would...
