Half the visitors to this site are probably too young to make sense of the Grasshopper reference, lol!  I'm showing my age.

You done good, Grasshopper. 

Thanks for finding that!!!!!  Now can you find KC and Frog for us.

National Charolais Junior Show in Hutchinson, Kansas July 6-11, 2014. Information packet attached, char composites eligible.

There's something to that.  I got antsy and put some semen of a 914 son in a heifer and got a 62# heifer, while my buddy up north using the same bull had a hundred birthweights ranging mostly in the 90-100# range.  I got nervous after I looked at all the BW of that bull's progeny (after having...

You have a baby out of that girl yet?

The one who sired Houston grand steer this year.

And if you're thinking of using the Rapid Rewards bull, you'll have to let me know how that one turns out  ;).  If I see it works, I might want to try the same thing, lol!

I watched Houston; I was struck by how the grand steer always seemed to have perfect foot placement and how he just seemed to walk into it on his own.  Almost as if the steer knew on his own exactly where to place his feet when they came to a stop. Now, whether that was trained into him, or just...

Distributor told me it was the reserve who was sired by Hef, and this one was also out of a heifer.  Here's a picture of the reserve at San Antonio.

I hear ya, but here it is, right there on the blog....

I called Wyman Poe who is a distributor, he said RR is a calving ease bull.

The 2014 Houston Grand Champion steer is supposed to be a Rapid Rewards bull x HW; Rapid Rewards is by Hef out of a Yahtzee female.  I haven't been able to find Hef, either, so had the same questions as you.  Here is Rapid Rewards, he is available through Genesource.  Interestingly enough, the...

Wrangler Cooley Royce Ledger Full Throttle 914, if you don't mind the expense You're in Tx, I think, and Bovine Elite carries all but the 914 which is a rare one you'll have to do some digging to find.  I think Riverdale has some for $300/unit. Don't dismiss Royce after seeing his pic on...

These are PB bull calves sired by Turton and out of a full sister to Zsa Zsa.  Mid Feb, so five weeks or so old.

Some things also to think about .... Something you may or may not want to consider in the Maine breed.....you start flushing you are going to get females (you always get what you DON'T want, after all).  You cross any Maine with your char, you automatically have a paper-able percentage female...

And just for grins, old FW himself

Did you see my post about Full Throttle in the other thread asking about maternal charolais bulls? Also, a little research assignment here....  Go find out the pedigree of OBG Nancy that stormed the Charolais purebred rings all last year, both here and in Canada.  She's a Firewater, but look at...

First and foremost you need to take a good hard look at those cattle destined to be recips and see if they are good candidates for that.  It is possible that those Heatwave progeny may be a little much for 2nd calf heifers to handle.  Who bears responsibility in the event of a hard pull where...
