I would love to see some pics of shooter Shooters calves. I did actually get to see Shooter slapped Grand Champion at last years IL State Fair I thought he was a really nice bull. If I go the purebred rout I may actually consider him because he is a bull that I have actually seen in person and...

Thanks for all the feedback so far everybody I am starting to get some ideas on what to breed her to. What to people think of that new Shorty bull JSF Capiche that Select Sires bought?

Thanks for the advice and I have liked the Da Vinci Code bull but haven't seen any calves out of him but I have seen the Greygoose calve and yes Greygoose is deceased I have also liked the Stone bull but wasn't sure if I could get semen out of him. I might give one of them a try. Really the only...

When u say old maine do you mean a fullblood maine?

I agree, I lost a show bull this past spring because of hardware disease and we really didn't figure out what it was until it was too late. My bull stopped eating grain and would only eat grass but he would just nibble on it and if he would lay down it was very hard to get him to stand up again...

This is really the only cow left that I don't have a bull picked out to breed her to and I cant really decide what to breed her too. She needs in my opinion more rib and I think that she needs to be a little thicker and have a bit more muscle. She is also very leggy and so is her Churchill calf...

I was told by a lady that use to live on a hereford farm when she was growing up that back in the 70s that hereford farms were using the traditional colored simmental bulls on hereford cows to add a bit more frame and muscle and she remembered that they had a hereford, steer or heifer I cant...

That Gus heifer looks really nice. Is Major Leroy siring some good show cattle?

I am the same way, they had flyers for Off Road hanging up at nationals and that bull always seemed to catch my eye. I have a cow that would probably be a good match for him. 

Justintime pictures would be awesome!! We just bred a cow today to Gus hopefully she sticks. Savaged that heifer does look like a pretty nice one and she looks pretty hairy too.

We bred a heifer to Ace of Diamonds and the calf weighed about 95 lbs and we needed to pull the calf but the he was like a week over due and the heifer was a show heifer so she was pretty well conditioned but the calf was real nice and cow did an excellent job raising him. I would really like to...

Ace of Diamonds also crossed my mind I cant believe more people aren't using him, I really liked his calves that I saw at jr. nationals. Maybe more people will use him after seeing his calves at jrs. I actually had a very nice bull calf born out of him last year and had planned on showing him...

I would also like to see some pictures of Gus calves if anyone has any I would like to see what his progeny look like because I am thinking of using him on the majority of my cows. I to agree with you yuppie but OFS what other bull would you add to that list?  I also kinda like that new bull...

What does every one think of this bull? How are the BWs on his calves? Does he fix any problems in some cattle, for example give them more volume, rib, thickness, etc...? Is he working well on all lines of cattle (like non-trump lines as well as trump lines)?

I got a kick out of this when I read it and so did my Ag-teacher she actually liked it so much she hung it up in her classroom. Some may have read it before but I found this while rummaging through some old papers and just thought I would share it with you all and hopefully you get a laugh out...

Exactly

By the way OFS thank you for the advice.

OK I think I will just keep giving her the Melatonin and see how that works and all a really had to do with my heifer is place the pills on top of her feed in a little pile and she would actually eat them first, then eat the rest of the feed.

Really nice bull you have there the one thing that I would probably change would be to add a little bit more bone but overall he is a very nice bull calf. Do you think you will be showing him?

Actually I have fed Melatonin but just a couple days before a show and at the show to calm her down I was giving her about 30 pills and just throwing it on top of her feed she seemed to eat it just fine. Im from Christian County I actually live like 18 miles straight north of Taylorville if you...
