Yeah, definitely get her looked at by a vet if she's hurt and suffering from pain. But I assumed she wasn't in to bad of shape or you wouldn't be thinking on breeding her. But if she is suffering it would likely only get worse as she gets older and start calving and nursing. Remember don't get...

Looks pretty good to me, might need a bit more depth but there isn't a perfect animal out there, therefore I'll take him to show and wouldn't think twice about using him as a herd bull. Sure several like blacks better but there is always a place for nice red bulls.

Maybe Shock Force, Gunslinger, or Magic Man.

Named the twins Walker & Trevett from the TV show Walker, Texas Ranger lol. Don't know if I spelled Trevett right but anyhow they got names and they are getting to know them, especially the black one. I've been giving him an extra bottle of milk per day, at least most days just to help the cow...

Just a quick thought but maybe Lazy H Pathfinder R104.

Calves have got the nursing figured out, now if I can get her to pass all of her afterbirth, they should be good to go. I sure was glad I got her out of the open pasture and in the calving lot this time or else it would have been a wild situation like before. I told my dad she was gonna have...

Here are some quick snapshots. Both are doing well, I've been helping them realize they need to reach a bit lower to nurse all 4 quarters and quit licking the side walls.

Well, she has done it again. Two more twin bull calves and again a black baldy and a solid black in back to back years. Again one backwards and one not. About the only difference is that they are sired by a different bull and I had her in the calving lot this go around. Hopefully will get some...

This young guy is the last product of the mating between his dam and sire. His dam FLS Merry, a Power Stroke & Mr MT grand daughter is one I've raised and boy have she been having some nice calves out of my Dream On son WWCR Mr Dream. I sold Mr Dream this year and now I'm realizing I'm gonna...

Congrats on a nice calf! Yeah, I know how it feels to be expecting a bit of chrome on a particular mating and you show up and it's a solid, but I've had it the other way as well. So now I try my best to be patient and to be ok with whatever the newborn is and looks like, as long as it is nice...

Sounds just like the sitaution with the twin bulls I had posted on SP last year. I think we were both blessed we got them all here live and well. Good Luck with them!

Yeah, firesweepranch I considered Ranch Hand but right now I can't think of why I ditched him aside unless I chose Stetson over Ranch Hand because of his sire Shear Force. But you have spooked me now with that 110 lb birthweight calf. But I'm sure it was just a combination of that particular...

Yeah, Stetson has some mixed reports, I've heard some dislikes and likes. I also find myself doing the opposite of alot of folks, lol probably should have just used Grandmaster. But yeah I decided on going a safe route on these heifers for their first baby without going to an Angus or another...

Decided to go with BF Mr Confidence on the Register Heifers and RCR Stetson T17 on the commercial simmental cross heifers. Hopefully, I made a decent choice and that they'll stick when AIed. I guess time will tell, also thanks for everyone's advice and replies.

We've got a Lucky Dice Daughter that we purchased at a Family Tradition Sale and she had an attitude problem, but also very nice calves. So we kept her and she settled down for us after a while, but we give ours plenty of attention. The first two years though was hard working with her and her...

There is a market for him it just might not be as large of one as a black bull would have. I've always liked the red ones better myself but the feeder market favors the black calves around here. I keep a heterzygous black bull just to keep some of the reds around. Also have a red purebred bull...

Yeah Leanbeef, I've seen that EPD too and that's what held me back from ordering any so far. I have a hard time believing his disposition would be that bad or wild, but at the same time I hate wild crazy cattle. Thought the Lucky Dice son might click with my pedigree's and hold a chance to throw...

Looking at these Two Sires to breed on some heifers, a few register purebred black simmental heifers but mostly commercial red & gold 1/2 and 3/4 blood simmental heifers. Thoughts or experience with the bulls wanted? 

Thanks alot everybody for the replies so far. We've got 4 Replacement Heifers we're keeping for brood cows and I'm thinking on AIing them as well, therefore I may just try to pick out one sire instead of multiple ones. Which means I'll guess I'm leaning to a calving ease sire. Heifers are 2...

Think I'll hold this one away from the herd bull and AI her this fall. Her name is Whitestar Dream 8226U, she's a CNS Dream On daughter out of a Meyers Bonus Dam. There is a pic of her 2011 heifer in the classifieds. This is a pic of her when she was a bred heifer, sorry it's old but its the...
