    PB Angus Cow breeding to which Club Calf bull

    Simple Math should work well on PB Angus. He's got the Simmi for the power on the move, WMW for the length of body and clean front end, and the PB angus from the cow should give the depth of rib.

    I second the Special Delivery, easy calving, lots of thickness, really clean fronted.

    SunSeeker

    I saw some very very thick Sunseekers in the Maine Sale at Ohio Beef Expo. I found they were way to straight in the leg, and not nearly sound enough.

    Body Clipping Animals

    How many people actually body clip the winter coat off of their animals? It seems like it would be a good idea to get that wooly/fuzzy hair off of them as quick as possible, but I'm wondering how long it would take to grow back. I don't have a cooler, but i keep them in total darkness with lots...

    Twin heifers born, 1 might die.

    Thanks for the replies! I had her covered in horse blankets with the hair drier running underneath it, making it very warm under there, but her mouth just wouldn't warm up. We gave her another warm IV bag in the vein after a few hrs, then another litre of warm colostrum but it just didn't work...

    Twin heifers born, 1 might die.

    Just had twin Sheriff Taylor heifers out of a heatwave cow. 1 is up and sucking while we have the other 1 in the house warming up and she looks like she might die. The cow wouldn't lick her or anything and she was born outside and it was below freezing. We've fed her lots of colostrum and 1 bag...

    Smokin' Joe

    We've had 3 had out of him: 1 out of a big maine cow, she just spit it out I assume, it was up drinking when I saw it. 1 out of heatwave heifer, it was and still is very small. Damn heatwave heifer won't milk, lol 1 out of our Who Made Who/ Meyer 734 heifer, 10 days early, tough pull, calf...

    7ft or 8ft chute?? or 1/2 chute??

    Should I buy a 7ft or an 8ft chute? How do you truck the 8ft chute when you have a full trailer load? On top of the trailer or strapped to the side, or what? I think I'd like a 1/2 chute but the old man is worried about heifers that aren't broke yet in them.

    gigelo joe

    The only problem I have with Joe is that he throws red ones sometimes, has anyone else had solid red calves out of him? Besides the red gene though, he's one of my favourite Maine bulls at the moment, along with Special Delivery. Calving ease, growth, muscle, and lots of power.

    BC Eagle Eye

    I see no shoulder issues at all with my heifer, she's actually quite clean fronted. I'll try and get an updated picture later today of her.

    BC Eagle Eye

    Here's our heifer calf, she's very thick for an angus and is nicer than the picture shows.

    Have we gone to far with genetic engineering...?

    Well if its more like human milk, then it actually makes more sense to drink that milk instead. Humans are the only species that drinks another species milk, not that natural to begin with. Its a strange world, why stop now...lol

    What is the greatest bull ever?

    The name of the site is "SteerPlanet" so its not surprising there's going to be support for a club bull, who happens to make good club cows. There's lots of $$$$ spent in the 'Club' business.

    Halter Breaking question

    I agree with this. You should also tie this guy up for 4hrs a day with his head up for about a week, that will change his attitude.  It has worked for me you just have to try harder than him, and be patient. I've also found tying younger calves to a collar around their mothers neck (if the...

    Womanizer baldy

    Has anyone else had any nice baldy's out of Womanizer? I think we might have got lucky on this one, its pretty much a perfect bald face. I actually had this one on intravenous for 8hrs, but he's doing great now.
