    Which ANGUS for PB Char heifer sired by Firewater?

    Who would you use?  I'm thinking OCC -bred but not familiar with angus.  Looked also at Duff Hobart, Connealy Confidence, and looked at some of the Dameron and Lutton bred but not sure if calving ease is on them is an issue for a heifer. Female is very sound, very thick Firewater heifer with...

    Charolais Flush Options

    I've seen Bells & Whistles in person twice.  His personality and disposition was as impressive as his phenotype.  I have semen (bought a package) and will be able weigh in on calves as soon as our three around here are all on the ground.  I'm sure I'll have plenty of pics.  I talked to Kevin...

    Tattooing Charolais Cattle

    The registry requires a permanent marking for registration, and on-line registration or paper forms give you a space to indicate the herd# and whether you placed it in the left ear, right ear, or both ears.  I believe many use the year check digit, with 2014 being the letter "B", but this is not...

    Monopoly Club Calves

    I like M2O (Made to Order) if for no other reason than the cow power behind him.  His mother, the Bridwell's "Kelli" and a couple of sibs had phenomenal show careers.  Kelly just produced the Reserve Grand Steer at the 2014 Ohio State Fair.  She is a sister to the promo bull I Da Man.  Young and...

    man among boys calves.

    We have a MAB bull calf in a recip coming in October that is for sale if anyone is looking ahead to the 2015 show season yet.  His dam is a half-sister of the bull that sired the Reserve Grand Champion Bred & Owned heifer at the 2014 Charolais Junior National today!  Great Genetics!!!  Here is...

    Why is Char bred so popular?

    How much do you think it costs to make those $600 Monopoly embryos?  For what mine cost to make, I don't think I'd be willing to part with them for even $600.....

    What's the latest news on Turton?

    I asked VeaBea Thomas about a week or two ago.  The bull seems to be recovering; she did not know when he would collect again. My concern is fertility after such a bad infection.  I have two straws; they are recommending if you have it, use it for flushing or on your best cows.  I'm thinking...

    Flushing Cow suggestions

    I'm wondering why more aren't interested in the proven females behind I DA MAN, MADE TO ORDER (M2O), and AFFLICTION this season.  I DA MAN is a full sib to the Bridwell's "Kelly", who is the dam of M2O.  M2O is a Monopoly while Affliction is a Whiskey.  Don't know if those would work on your...

    Selling animals with a right to flush

    I wouldn't hesitate to agree to a flush back if it was the only way to get my hands on some desireable genetics and it helped get the price in my price range.  For smaller breeders wanting to get their hands on females that are otherwise out of reach, I think this is reasonable and can be...

    Charolais cross cattle with skunk markings

    I had a guy come out to look at some bulls....he had previously run a Camp Cooley-bred bull over his commercial cows in his operation and was getting calves with "longhorn markings".  I think this must have been what he was referring to.  He said after two calf crops, and with said markings...
