I know someone said they were all heat waves but what was the cows breeding on these steers and who raised them.  Heard a rumor about two of them.

From the ones i have seen i would take the nutt n butt over strictly business for the females.  They are sounder, good bone, hair is good depending on her mother.  And work from what i have seen for raising show steers and heifers.

We used foreplay years ago on first calf heifers and that was a mistake.  Like JBH said he is not a pure calving ease bull.  Remember one of them came out the side on a simi angus first calf heifer. 

He looks nothing like friction did.  Friction was more of a freak but was also straighter on his hind legs.  Why isnt around today. 

What are you feeding your cows prior to calving? I give my cows three lbs of corn starting three weeks prior to calving.  That seems to help give the calves more vigor at birth. Years ago i remember my father having calves born that wouldnt suck.  They would go back there but couldnt roll...

I bet you are right Brad same first name. How did the Jorgenson steer do that won sioux falls.

Used WD years ago on simi angus heifers.  Pulled most of them but these were some stout heifers.  Also sold two of them for alot of money and kept one for a cow.  They were 90 lb heifer calves and 100 lb bull calves.  I think he is easier calving on maines but when crossed with the simi's you...

If you look at heat waves first ads he was advertised as out of a playboy cow.  Then she became a taz daughter which maybe what she really is.  So i am sure they had to blood test to figure out what the cow really was for registration purposes for the maine assoc. Also heat waves mother has...

Dusty is right.  You need a stout boned and a cow that has some muscle and frame with monopoly.  Heat waves will get bigger than monopoly's out of the same cow from what i am seeing.

Nice looking calf out of heat wave.  Looks pretty stout for 85 lbs. Did you weigh him or use a tap?

I havent dipped or sprayed navals in over ten years.  Used to do it automatically and even with a clean calving barn would get one with a naval infection once in awhile.  In my opinion a dirty pen is how they get the infection.  I also work in the swine industry and had a vet years ago say not...

I have used corrid a couple times in the past with coccidiosis and always clears them up.  May have to drench them for three days but it works. I know a guy told me years ago they had problems with baby calves and all vets say it cant happen till 21 days old but he was getting earlier than...

I have been going to the show for years and i have to say that was the best top ten steers i have ever seen at the show.

It is an icy mess in north west iowa now.  Just hope the wind doesnt get to strong before the ice falls off the power lines and trees.  If not will be alot of places out of power and some are already.  Was on the road today and wasnt many people traveling on the county roads it was a 40 mph...

I have a one 93 model.   She will be having her 16th baby this march.  I think her teeth are gone and will be her last go around.  She is running with the yearling heifers to try and keep her in shape. One thing about that cow she has had an AI ed calf every year and bred back 1st service every...

So what is the problems with headliner. TH is not a problem if you test your cows or dont keep them for replacements.

From what i have been told.  He is out of a full throtle cow.  The cow was flushed to hairy bear and heat seeker.  so would be pretty simple to put the wrong tag on the recipe cow when you put in as many embryos as the person does that raised the bull. And if putting in eggs that are out of the...

You are correct.  I am pretty sure that is what he sold half of him for.  Godfather was a stud out in that pasture.  Big boned deep bodied and hairy.  And he was out of a dam good looking maine angus cow.  Just had to be careful on structure when breeding him.  Downfall was PHAC. And my...

If she was mine which she isnt because i will not keep a heat wave for a cow and never have.  But i have helped calve a few out and they are very inconsistent in birth weights.  Some can throw a large calf bred to anything. And the heat wave cows pelvis seemed to be shaped differently and are...

Tj sired alot of good daughters that have produces numerous winners and promotional bulls and still doing it today.  To bad he died a few years ago.  Dont know if there is much semen around.  I know of a few people that have some.
