Good calves. I especially like the two solid red calves in the first pic.

I think this is close to accurate. How are the calves off the bull you bought last year? Sub- 8800- Munroe Lehne AB 3-2750 4-2500 5-2800 6-NS 7-5000-Up The Creek Shorthorns MB 10-2750 13-6500-Semex Alliance 14-2700 15-4200 17-4000 20-NS 21-NS 22-2250- Munroe Lehne AB 23-4000- Dale Studer Iowa...

I don't pretend to be an epd expert and I have no idea how accurate shorthorn epds are but I will agree with Grant that selecting for high milk epds in our breed is questionable at best. I think one of the biggest challenges our breed has faced in the past is udder quality and excess milk at...

The semen and embryos were probably the buy of the sale. Don't know why, but there didn't seem to be much interest. These are the complete sale results: Lot 1-4400       2-5800       4-5500-Bernie Vacura?, Kansas       5-4250       6-4000       7-7000-Wes Wise, Illinois       8-3600      ...

No harm done. For the record, I have no problem with your comments. You raise some valid points. I think our bull customers will accept 100 lb birth weights. I think you start to see some resistance when you get over 110 and it's almost impossible to sell the ones that weigh 120. I still am...

To answer wise guy's question, I have heard plenty of stories of birth weights dropping as you move south but I don't know how you prove it. Our bull calves out of cows probably average just under 100 lbs. I don't think there is a cow in our herd that can't easily push out a 110 lb calf and most...

If I were to use him again it would be on smaller framed, easy fleshing cows. He is probably the most influential bull we have ever used but that was 25 years ago and cattle were different then. It was the era of the frame race and at the time he would have been considered moderate framed and...

Okay I'll play. Based on pics i would choose bull on top row, far right. I also like top row far left and middle row far left.  Carl

If you are looking for a Saskvalley bull to use AI that will put some guts and middle into your Shorthorns I would suggest Saskvalley Ramrod.  The Ultra and Navajo bulls that were mentioned here both bred very well for us but I really believe this is the most consistent sire we have ever used. I...

Sasvalley Ultra semen is NOT qualified for the US, only for Canada. Not the smartest decision we have ever made. We do have semen on Saskvalley Ramrod, a bull that may be breeding better than Ultra, stored at Hawkeye in Iowa. Ramrod's calves have a little more performance and might be even wider...
