Since i love to discuss bulls and look at bulls i was hoping to get some opinions on what to breed my 2nd calvers to. They are plainer made kind of slab sided structurally correct commercial Shorthorn X. At 24 months they are 6 frame. My goals would be county fair steers or i would be fine with...

"Just my opinion but there is no such thing as a clubby bred heifer safe bull" This is good advice, i had to learn the hard way even though i have read on here a thousand times "don't breed heifers clubby". I have a couple Shorthorn X heifers. last spring i had a friend come over and breed them...

Here is a March 2015 Jose X Ali X Miley pic was taken late October, so at 7-8 months, he seems to be easy keeping. 6lbs grain a day and unlimited grass hay. i can get an updated pic if your interested. His ears got frosted in case your wondering about that.

Style and Paradox are both have negative docility ratings, how much of a concern is that? 

Here are a couple pictures of a February Uncle Si out out of a PB Shorthorn. The pictures were taken late August. By the end of September he weighed 650. I'm not sure what the dams temperament was like but my buddy's daughter bought this guy to show and he was by far the craziest calf i have...

Is there any reason why Red Devons never come up? Are they considered a "mini breed"? i dont know anything about them but they advertise  in my grassfed magazines/newsletters. The bulls look nice!

The insides of her ears are black.

Thank you for the replies, if she's Shorthorn cross she will fit right in. Thanks for the suggestions as well, i appreciate the input. Monopoly is to rich for my blood, do the clones work just as well? For this round i bred her to BNWZ Jose (don't know if she stuck yet) i didn't want anything to...

After reading Librarians post about Galloway/Shorthorn calves i was curious if anybody could help me distinguish British White's from White Galloway? i bought this cow from a friend who buys cattle at the sale barn strictly to fatten up. She was not guaranteed bred/not bred. She ended up having...

Check out Classic Doc Holiday 457Z on Cattle Visions, i have a couple non registered Herf heifers i want to try him on to try and get some clubby looking fair calves as my daughter would like to show a Hereford also. Let me know what you think.

This is all so very confusing, i could swear there was just a thread about not keeping clubby heifers to make mommas with. So if you dont want to breed clubby to plain mommas and you dont want to keep clubby heifers how do you get a cow that will produce nice club calves? :-\

I know this topic has been discussed in depth and i have searched and read everything i can find. My question is if i want to breed a couple Shorthorn cross heifers is a calving ease Maine Anjou as safe as a CE Angus? I want one that looks like a bull, as close to a Pure Bred as possible. I am...

Wow, tough crowd. Its like our first year at the fair. So is it a dumb question or should i have started in "the Big Show"? I would really like some direction on what kind of cows i need so i can eventually breed to some of the club calf bulls?

So i've been asking my wife if i can buy some cattle for a while now. (we have the facility's but we both work full time off the farm) Now that the kids are all in school she gave me the green light. Last fall i bought 2 Hereford heifers and 2 Shorthorn cross. My goals for the first go round are...
