I'm not by any means an expert in cloning, but from what I have learned in grade 12 biology clones are formed by removing a somatic cell from the donor (monopoly) and is fused with an ovum that has its nucleus removed. The resulting embryo develops into a blastocyst which than develops into an...

Aftering seeing all the hairy clubby bulls posted this past week it's definately a nice to change to witness an excellent honest bull such as this one. A large scrotal and an awesome pedigree. He should raise some eyebrows.

Great looking bull, that photo sure emphasizes the muscle that this bull possess. And just take a look at how showy he is. Is semen going to be available north of the border?

Caledon101: Can you please elaborate on why you believe this bull is calving ease? I can understand the concept that in any business risks need to be taken, but they are usually accompanied by evidence to support your decision. The only calving ease aspect ive  read about this bull is his low...

Trevorgreycattleco: well said! Caledon 101: despite my opposition to your position you are absolutely right, this is someone's  personal work we are critiquing and need to mindful of the producer. Despite my views on the bulls pedigree, my opinion is merely one mans. I don't think anyone can...

I'm just curious caledon 101 what about the bull makes you believe he is sutable for heifers? As stated previously his pedigree doesn't really favor great calving ease or birth weight genetics. Is he really smooth shouldered for example, what makes this bull heifer safe in your mind.

The angus bull or the simmental bull?

I take it you're not familiar w/ selective linebreeding to perpetuate desired qualities and characteristics???  Homozygosity and prepotency are the goals; variety is a bad thing.  If you're into show cattle, the best thing this bull calf has going for him is his stabilized, which suggests...

I don't know Xbar but this quote right here is craziness to me, The main show bulls being inbred these days include heat wave for clubbies and Trump for shorthorn, from what I have seen these bulls are the farthest out of any from producing consistent offspring. They can be inbred all you want...

There are good bulls and females out there that are not linebred, TM Gus 36S, ace of diamonds, many of Grants bulls, homedale creole 135, many of alta cedars bulls, many of the waukaru bulls. Definately trump produces some of the most showy offspring of any shorty sire to have ever existed, and...

In my opinion the fact that most of the highly regarded breeders in the club calf industry and the show side of the shorthorn industry remain satisfied with recycling the same genetics, is why there is no sustainability in either indusrty. Until these show breeders reroute the goal of there...

I couldn't agree more that in establishing a good herd, consistency and predictable outcome is the goal of any breeder. I just believe it can be done by breeding animals of similar phenotype and "monitoring genotype" ( ex. breeding homozygous polled bull so resulting offspring are all polled)...

The bull goes back to Trump and Augusta pride 3127 on the sires and the dams side of the pedigree more than once. When the gametes unite during fertilization and chromosomes cross over, genetic information is supposed to be exchanged in order to produce variety in the offspring. When genetics of...

The bull definately has some eye appeal to him, in my opinion he looks fairly feminine and that will boat well for you when producing show heifers. I don't think he carries enough power to produce steers or future bull prospects. Also when choosing a herd bull I like to shy away from having The...

He is sired by full flush and out of a meyer 734 dam, just wanted to know if anyone has any information on him.

Just want to know if anyone knows of anybody that carries his semen or semen on any of his progeny. I live in Canada.

Thanks for the responses. I live in Canada so I don't think I would be able to get ahold of any purina products. The only two gut expansion products I have access to are stretch and winning fill although my understanding is they are more of a product to use at a show. The ration I am feeding is...

I am trying to be pro-active here. I have a heifer that needs some expansion to her rib, a bigger bellied look. There are a lot of posts on here about how to get fill in a heifer at a show, but what I would like to know is what in a feed program is crucial to developing a heifer with that...

From the side view he looks pritty good, the only criticism I would have is in the rear view photo he looks like he could use a little more top. Although that might just be the photo.

I have a cross bred heifer that was inseminated the start of June to the bull pritty snazzy. For the last 4 months she has not shown any signs of heat ( and she has been watched quite heavily) although just yesterday and today I have noticed some minor signs of heat, she had a little bit of mud...
