Thank you Ryan is very excited about her.  She has quickly became his favorite in the barn.  Super good attitude.  I have a video of her and another Throwback on our lane cattle facebook page.  I took the video yesterday as we unloaded them off the trailer after being at their first show.

She is a very end of November Throwback out of an Angus first calf hiefer.  Her first outing will be the county fair this week.  I think she could end up being fun.  She has a great attitude.  Plus my son can show her bred and owned.

That is great.  It is very rewarding to have your own be successful.

As the owner of Throwback I will say we really like his calves.  His daugters milk good and flesh really easily.  we have had over 200 calves out of him and only one over 90#.  We have sold bulls and heifers out of him from $5000 to $15000.  And his calves have done well in the show ring.  He is...

First off I will say I like winning.  But that is not the goals we have with the kids and their projects.  We want our cattle to look good and be a good representative of our operation.  We want our kids to learn how to work hard and win or lose with grace. One of the things I was most pleased...

The very top end were very good.  They are a couple steps up.  But I feel like you do not have to win to be competitive.

Mark I will say I was disappointed that the numbers were down.  I had several tell me that they did not go this year as they did not feel like they could be competitive.  I am not sure what everyone defines as competitive. But what I will say is my kids were winners before they even entered the...

We had a great time in Grand Island.  We saw a lot of good friends and the kids had a ton of fun competing in all of the competitions.  Lexi won a class and was third with her other heifer. I thought that was really good for her first time in the ring at a Junior Nationals.  She was also 3rd in...

We always creep the calves we are going to show or try to sell as show calves.  With the level of competitiveness if they get any behind it is hard for them to catch up and be competitive. On the commercial calves we creep when it makes financial sense.  Right now it cost me $1.04 to put on an...

We travel with a family that has one.  It pulls great but I would not want one.  I am 6 foot 3 inchs tall and I have bumped my head going out the back gate.  I would say if your shorter than say 5 10 it would be fine.

No the owner of the cow will be shown on the papers as the breeder.

A lot of the times you are paying as much for the program as you are for the calf.  At times it is money well spent and other times it is not.  There are a lot of small breeders that have the same genetics available but do not have the skill set to develop those calves and it will take time for...

Mark We used him some in the mid 1990's.  He worked pretty well for us.  I cannot remember the exact year but we sold the champion steer at the Tulsa State fair futurity and he was a diamond cutter.  At the time they were on the moderate size, today they would be about right.  I still have a...

Sale results?

I got my catalog yesterday and looked through it last night.  Very impressive sale, looks like there could be some very good cattle change hands.

This is a late summer born we weaned Friday and tied this weekend.  We led her to the barn after being tied for a couple hours.  These throwbacks break so easy.  My son likes her but I do not like her color.  We will feed her a while and see how she comes along. She has a very unique pedigree...

I am looking forward to some nice weather.  His actual birth weight was 63 pounds.  I bred him to some coming three year old to calve this fall.  I have not bred him to any heifers yet.

I am going to do a little self promotion.  We own and have used Elbee Throwback for our heifers the last few years. His calves come very small and easy.  We calved out his first set of females this fall and they are going to make great cows.  Just this year we sold a bull half interest for $7500...

Thanks Mark we feel like he coming on nicely.  We take him to Fort Worth this weekend.  Hopefully we will have a good weekend. By the way we had him collected as a yearling bull and got almost 200 straws on a one day collection.  My experience has been not many yearlings do that well.  We are...

Lane's Mr Colt at Denver. We were fortunate enough to win our division.  We had a lot of people show interest in him.
