more steers to come

Am discovering that I can only attach 2 (maybe 3) files per posting due to size of each file.......if anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know!

How are you feeding them the last trimester? Our hiefers get grass and/or hay  and mineral ONLY during the last trimester. We do not wish to "feed" the growing fetus. After the calf is on the ground, we pour the feed to her because that is when she really needs it.

I will also add, the management of your bred heifers the last trimester is often as important or more so than the BW EPD of the sire.

EPD's, IMO, were created to 1) sell cattle 2)improve cattle. Both are noble and worthy goals. One must remember, the numbers are only as good as the guy holding the pencil. There is some discrimination, also. Many of the "show bred" or "efficiency bred" cattle will never have the high numbers...

Post #1. (With another to follow)Ag teacher has some good points. There are people who buy striclty on EPD's here in Texas. Many are wealthy individuals who own a hobby ranch (that may be huge and employ a lotta hands) and like to rub shoulders with real cattlemen and "talk cattle" like they...

I would say turn that truck a little west and get to Hamilton County as fast as you can! In our little county, we have good to great steers available through Poe's, Randal Craig, and ourselves,  Christian Cattle Co. 254-688-0840

Looking forward to seeing what we get out of him, Bred 8 cows that will clale in Sept.

Well, it got your attention, didn't it?" Just kidding. I am not too "savvy" on this internet stuff, but am working on it! BTW, one of these steers is a Char X out of an Airheart cow and Golden Child. Smokey and tuff! 254-688-0840

Congratulations to Peyton Hunter of Lindale for exhibiting the Reserve Champion Steer @ the Smith County Fair. Just an OUTSTANDING job with this Heatwave sired steer raised by us! Christian Cattle Co. , Mike Christian, Hico, Tx. 254-688-0840

An old saying is, "A bull is half your herd". It is true, as he lends half the genetics for your calves. It is sometimes hard to sell bulls for what they are really worth in our part of Texas, as so many bulls are available, and so many of our customers are small producers with 15-20 cows, and...

I am picking up 5 new steers (Fall Born) this morning from a friend near Waco. Sired by Q Dog, Eyes On The Money, and Golden Child. VERY NICE!  Will be reasonably priced.254-688-0840

BTW, we also accept SCRAMBLE CERTIFICATES. Sold 10 scramble heifers last year, looking for them to compete VERY WELL at Houston. One of our customers, Andrea Bird of Cranfills Gap, Texas, showed the Reserve Champion Angus Scramble Heifer last year @ Houston. This heifer also was recently names...

BTW, there is one reg. Maine hiefer and AT LEAST two Chi that CAN WIN in the right hands. The Ali heifer is out of a good Angus cow, Maintainer papers, she is NICE!

Congratulations to Katy Thomas and Family for showing the RESERVE CHAMPION ANGUS STEER @ San Antonio. This was a FULL BLOOD Angus out of a Traveller 004 heifer and Mytty In Focus. We have a bunch avalable NOW. Mike Christian, Christian Cattle Co.

IMO, a bunch of this EPD busuness has been striclty created to give wealthy hobby ranchers something to "compete" with, as they CANNOT compete with the show cattle except in rare occurences. "Wow, this bull has a 3 hundreths of a % more IMF than any other bull in the offering, and that puts him...
