    Best Charolais Bull to Add Depth

    You can get sexed heifer Firewater 5 million from VeeBee Thomas at Thomas Ranch to increase your odds of a show heifer from that mating.  With the Wyo Wind behind his Oahe Wind sire, it should click on your female.  My FW's have been extremely sound and great fronted with all feet pointing...

    low input smokies in Nebraska?

    Something that stumps me is why Char bull over angus female makes such nice F1's, but flip it the other way, Angus bull over Char female, and the results aren't so impressive.  Both are 50 percent of the genetics of each so it should be the same end product, but it doesn't seem to work that...

    Hi Ho Silver

    Is there a video other than the promo for Caldwell Willoughby where he is just standing tied at Denver or the baby calf video?  Any pics from the bull stud? Is there a pic of the dam anywhere?  Is anything known about her?

    Has anyone seen any MAB x PB Charolais calves?

    I think he'd work.  I want to try M2O.  I was lucky enough to stow away two straws last year.  I like M2O as much for the Kelly cow as I do for his Monopoly sire.

    MAB

    He framed down for me, as well, using a purebred charolais dam. Sound Sound SOUND calf with phenomenal movement and great length of stride, sane, wide-based front and back, level topped, deep chested, lots of muscle.  Pretty to watch coming, going, and from the side.  No complaints.  Purchased...
