Maybe, just maybe... (lol), love the name. How did he wind up in Wisconsin? I thought all cattle bred that way were in Oklahoma <beer>?

I see an ad with Pour some sugar...Your choice here (lol)... with a Union Jack in the background...not a copyright attorney though... <rock>

Never doubt the resourcefullness of this bunch! Love the bull's pic and pedigree, are you collecting him at Shamrock or Stillwater? Would not mind seeing him (if it worked out...lol) since I tend to go by one or both sometime during the year...

This mans speaks the truth...The best steers at Fort Worth in the day had owners "sweatin' teeth" (hoping you would get "F" on jaw before they spit them)...Several spring calves at Fort Worth. June calves are the youngest calves in the barn with a chance in anything but the light weight classes...

Show heifers are purchased with the fantasy of trophies and belt buckles. Bred heifers are purchased in hopes of making money... ;)

Shiver is homo black. Have not used him, he is supposed to a calving ease bull. WMW is a feast or famine deal on Charolais, if they are structurally correct enough they are nice...TH originated in Shorthorn bloodlines, so homo black cattle would have less tendency to carry it...The yellow...

Painfully true...

Great looking bull. Love to see mature pics. People are on here all of the time talking about the small genetic pool of the Shorthorns. If they had the same upgrading system as the Maines (7/8 being purebred), you would have to clone him to keep up with the demand. Nevertheless, I really like...

This is an interesting thread. I have moved back to the farm in the last 2 years and am in the process of rebuilding a clubby herd. I sold most of my better cows in the mid-2000's (career took me away from farm, kids came along, bills to pay, etc). So, I guess in a way, I am living this...

Like the pic, keep us updated on calves next year...

I feel your pain, I would love to jump out there and be "holier than thou" and sell all of my carriers to the butcher, but you forementioned situation is common. I am stepping where I shouldn't (not a shorthorn breeder), but I liked the bull WHR had that won Fort Worth. He was big footed and...

I thought that stuff only happened at my house... (lol)

Any feed over minimal maintenance in the last trimester scares me.JMO

I totally agree, the Simmental breed started making data driven decisions...I agree that hard times tend to clear our thinking... (clapping)

I am sure there is, I just saw that cow back in the day... <beer>

This has been a fascinating post. If I responded to everything interesting to me, it would be a small novelette. This heifer needs to be bred Angus (I have a few biases here) or Jake's Proud Jazz. If she was mine, I would never breed her club calf (Heat Wave derivatives) or at least for the...

Cool on the current cowherd! (clapping)

Faulkner is a name I have not heard in years, bought our first WMW from him. She was a WMW-Draftpick, made a nice cow. I personally like the bull and wish you all of the luck in the world. Don't know Mr. Rogers, but You Tube is free... ;) I know it works because one of my associates wants to...

Did not know that, but I am not young either.... (lol)
