    Red Angus Bulls

    I would use Sakic over Mulberry.  We love our Sakic calves both the bulls and heifers are good.  No shortage of stoutness i think that mulberry would throught less stout cattle then Sakic.  It depends what you want if you are looking for nice show heifers and dont care about the quality of bulls...

    Mulberry

    Wow. Just wow. Some people need to back off. I think that this is just being blown up way to much.  There was only one case of marble bone in Canada and it was in a commericial herd out of bulls sired by a known carrier.  To start attacking people is just not right.  I went to enough bull sales...

As far as angus having TH if you know something then...

    TH/PHA test

    I hate age verification

    Up here in Canada we have RFID tags and you have the chose to age verify your calves on the internet.  I use to be a really behind this b/c it was suppose to help get our cattle into extra markets over seas.  I still think that the RFID tags are a good thing just for the sake of point of orgin...

    retaining the right to flush a heifer calf

    Heres the thing it would meen that you lose a year of breeding if you have a strict 60 day calvinng season like us and also most people that do embryos like to leave to cow open for a year to let her rest for awhile. Second alot of cows dont produce near as good after they have been flushed...

    retaining the right to flush a heifer calf

    Why do so many people do this? As a buyer I see this as huge turn off on bidding on that animal, usually we will talk to the seller before the sale to see if they are dead set on it or not and most are willing to drop it.  My thing is why even do it in the first place.  First off if I am going...

    Need Suggestions for Red Angus Steer Sires

    You are right Fully Loaded isn't a sleeper. In fact he is already a proven producer! Let me also make a correction for you: Six Mile's top seller in their bull sale was Full Throttle 171T a son of Fully Loaded ($37,500) and part of him was already sold to Genex before the sale - AND all the...

    Leader 21 heifer

                I just had to chime in.  To start with i dont think that bone size has a thing to do with birth wieght and is completly based on gentics.  We raise purebred red angus a bred that is well known for low birth weight and we constitently get calves between 70-85 pounds and dont have a...

    New RA Genetic defect rules

    As a Canadian red angus breeder I havent heard  much about this genetic defect but I will be sending a note to the assoc. to see what they have to say.  I was also wondering do you guys think that the american pure bred breeders tend to lend themeselves to be hit more by a genetic defect b/c...

    Diesel Driver!!! What you think about your truck?

    We were looking at new trucks up here in canada and we like the duramax so we were looking for a one ton dually crew cab and found a nice one on the lot that they wanted 62k for but it was zero percent financing.  So then I asked what there cash price was and just about fell over when they told...

    08 Trucks

    I was told to stay away from all the new trucks if you want to burn died diesel b/c they wont take it b/c of the new injectors that they are putting in all the new trucks. I know this for a fact in the dodge and ford trucks b/c two people that we know have had lots of problems since they got...

    Prolapsed Uterus

    If its a first calf heifer I would rebreed her cause chances are she wont prolapse again.  We have had a few heifers do this and we always keep them and rebreed them and never have a problem as log as you remember to take the string out before she calves again the next year.  We have never had a...
