2 day old calves sold here through sale ring the other day.  Bull calves went $480 and heifer calf was $430..... 50lb bag of medicated milk replacer $90......I don't know how people can make that work.  If I have twins this year I will have no problem selling a calf for $450. No risk or extra...

I have some clubby heifers and I also go through ABS. I am going to use Northern Improvement as I think my ABS rep can get semen throught ORIgen. They have a partnership together. On my other heifers I was going to use sexed heifer semen, and wanted to use brilliance but I think ABS only has...

Thxs for all the discussion.  I am leaning toward sexed heifer semen for most and then Northern Improvement on my Sun Seeker/WMW heifer.  A lot of the older posts i have read sound like he works pretty well on clubby females and keeps bw lows. If I do this I will have extra NI semen to use on...

Mine I need to go back to school. I am having a hard time trying to find a bull. I didn't go to school for animal science or any other related course. I just love cattle and I am trying to improve my overall herd both for maternal traits and clubby calves and wow. I don't have a clue where to go...

I posted a similar question. I don't have too much experience with heifers, but I am going purebred angus.  I am looking for good calves of potential replacement quality. I haven'd decided on a bull yet but from most of the post's I  have read the concensious is go with a low bw angus and get a...

I had bought a semen tank that went bad and it had a couple straws of money shot that i was looking forward to using. Now I don't feel as bad, (about losing those straws anyway, had some others that still hurt to lose  WMW & Heat wave)

Thanks for the input. Know I am wondering about what everyones thoughts are on the calves out of Final Product, Image Maker, 878, and Bluestem (he is a new bull that ABS carries) not sure of his age or if there is many progeny out there.  What would throw the best for replacements (ABS carries...

For years my father in law has used 1/2 sim  1/2 angus or 1/2 ang 1/2 gelviegh bulls and the calves have always grown and sold well as the sale barn. His cows have always been bought at sale barn withouth any background on their pedigree. They are prodimately angus influenced but some are...

Ya,  if not sold as clubby calves for show, some guys try to get the colored ones sorted off at the sale barn and bring less money.  It happens in our area sometimes with ones colored up or even solid reds or whites when the rest of the group are blacks.  Personally I like his coloring,  what...

One out of Sunseeker, the rest out of  sunseeker/angus bull  and all the dams are all commercial.  I think I might take your dart idea  <cowboy>

I agree about selling too many calves by the pound and taking it hit.  He certainily catches your eye and I like the look

I have searched this topic and read a lot of older posts but would like some thoughts on a low bw angus bull to use on heifers. I was thinking about possibly using the same bull on some cows to try to get replacements. I go through ABS and a lot of the bulls I have read on the posts, they don't...

I am buying a semen tank from my uncle and he has some heat wave clone semen left. I am not sure what clones yet but I was just wondering what the goin rate is for the clone semen. I checked lautners website and see only about 5 clones listed out of the 15 or so there is. Most are at $30/unit...

Ya the char this year was out of their herd bull and a Northern Improvement cow I believe. At least that is what they stated during the broadcast on MLC. It was an awesome steer. Will be interesting if semen for sale or possible already is..

Thanks, He was will some of the deepest cows I own. Hope they click well.

She looks good and should make a good cow.

Here’s T-Magic a bull I raised out of Carnac and my best Angus/Simm cow. He is in his working clothes and always has been. Thought I got a decent pic of him this morning so I wanted to get some SP expert opinions and thoughts on him. He has lost some weight and condition from running with the...

I don't have time or any family members old enough to be in 4-H so I am selling my heifer.  I would really like to have her shown as she should make a great breeding or market heifer. She will make a great cow someday too.  I am planning to halter break her and get her clipped up in the next few...

More Pics.

I have around 10 - 15 heifers that I can't keep due to facilities. They would all make good replacements for someone or good starting group for someone wanting to get into cattle.  All heifers were born in April or early May.  Sires include a Sunseeker/Angus son, Dr. Who/Angus Son, and Dream...
