Does it really matter what you get, either way for the most part the calf is going to be terminal. Unless your promoting a bull or trying to make a donor what's the point of using sexed semen. I would assume there really isn't much of a market for it.

I actually bought this heifer from Songers this summer. She is 50% shorthorn so I would like to breed her full blood shorthorn to get a 75% calf. If anyone has any other suggestions All are appreciated. The heifer is a TH carrier and I would like to keep her calf fairly showy, but I'd like to...

When I say clean up her front I am mainly referring to pulling or tightening up her brisket. She has good neck extension and is fairly smooth shouldered. Is captain obvious available north of the border?

Carlson do you just go off the pictures from the blogs on these bulls or have you actually seen them. I have only seen a few clubby bulls in person mainly at agribition but I have to say nearly everyone I have seen looks very different from their promotional pics. There are also a lot of things...

I like the thought of yesterday, he seems to have a lot of depth but I don't know if he will tighten up her brisket which I think she needs. The reason I was thinking capiche is because I can get sexed heifer semen on him. Mark, I am from Alberta, Canada. No color really doesn't matter to me.

I have a eyes on the money x pb shorthorn heifer that I would like to breed back pb shorthorn. In my opinion she lacks depth/ rib and needs her front cleaned up. I was thinking of using capiche. I've attached a picture of her from September.

Simple biology carlson

Is his semen is canada approved? Also could a guy just purchase a couple straws through griswolds sale and have it shipped north of the border through hawkeye to alta genetics?

I one had a herford x angus steer who's front hooves were tiger striped and back hooves were pure white. I have also noticed that a horse with a white sock will usually have a white hoof.

I like your logic Xbar. <beer>

I heard gonnet got fired from trausch, The Rodgers bulls are all from lautner families Is that why Raymond's website no longer has champion drive genetics?

Why use the clones when Mab semen is still very reasonable?

:)

I like him alot, although I may be bias, he weighed 918 at the show which was in december and was born in february. He is also a great eater.

I am currently showing a bodacious steer, bought from jt livestock. He's the hairiest and biggest boned steer I have ever shown, great temperament and hits his track every time. If your interested I can post a picture of him all fitted up.

Will he add depth to the average female? Also is there a video on him?

Alongside my little purebred shorthorn operation I have been forming. I was thinking of developing some maine x angus x simmi females, so that by the time I finish University I would have a good base to breed clubby. After seeing those charolais mommas at agribition I might consider purchasing...

My guess is the focus changes to maternal characteristics, judges start picking cattle acceptable to the commercial herdsman and everyone forgets all about this hair and bone stuff. Lol   ;D ;D ;D

Knabe can you expand on imprinting ie methylation. My understanding has always been that the donor egg has no effect on the offspring since it's nucleus is removed prior to insertion of the DNA from the original organism.

Clones contain identical DNA, as a result the gametes that the clone and the original produce will acquire their DNA from exactly the same somatic cell DNA.  So both the clone and the original should produce the same.
