Got a call from dad Friday afternoon, he said that a heifer was showing signs of going into labor. I thought he may have been overreacting to her acting like that, or maybe even a false labor, I live about 40 minutes away, so I needed to get headed that way to help if there was a problem...

I'd go with the Dodge if it was me. I was just looking at one a few weeks ago, really like it. My cousin owns a pipline construction company and they switched from Ford to Dodge starting in 2003, they have about 30 trucks and were about as Ford as you could get before they switched to Dodge. The...

That's a good question! My first step was getting 329. Super easy keeping, easy calving , just good solid bull. Not the bone or hair or zipper front end but a good place to start. I think it's possible to eventually combine enough show cattle phenotype with real world cattle and get a good...

We have one, its strictly a work truck, alwasy pulling a trailer, and sometimes loaded down pretty good. I'm not a fan of the truck, personally. It is an F350, but it is easily the roughest riding pickup I have ever rode in without a trailer. It seems to have more power compared to the 2003...

Well put sir, well put. It's all just different strokes for different folks. Thats whats great about this industry, noone is forcing you to use, buy, breed any particular genetic line, or breed for that matter, and I for one don't think there is a wrong way to go about it.

We are taking 2 heifers and a bull calf to the sale barn this weekend, would have probably kept them at the farm but we are already feeding hay. Didn't get a single cutting last year because of a lousy drought, and had to buy hay after using the last that we had leftover, only got 1 cut of hay...

Will, I have been keeping a close eye on that as well. I think a big storm like that is the only thing that could save us at this point.

We hit 115 today here in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. It's just brutal out there.

I've always liked your Sonny Sue 6N cow from the pictures on your website, almost bought some embryos of hers in one of your sales, kicking myself now we didn't! I like her daughter.  <beer>

Others will be able to answer better than me, and it was over a year ago, but I don't remember Dottie 12H looking like an frame 8?

Doc, our thinking for using JPJ was simple, although maybe not necessarily the most sound idea ever! JPJ is huge around here, a lot of people have had success with him in the show ring, and I personally don't have any problems with him. I think he does what he does really well. Anyway, we...

We purchased this old girl a long time ago from a member of this board. She was our best cow, hands down. We flushed her 3 times and have embryos put in cooking as we speak. I wanted to get you guys/gals opinion of her pedigree X the 3 bulls we flushed her with and which mating you would be most...

"The Cactus of the South" Market it as "The Cactus" being a short name it will be easy to remember, people across the country will say "are you going to The Cactus this year"?

I'm glad you said Captain Morgan. I am real curious about him, I haven't seen any calves by him though. Have you? I would be up for trying Red Line on this cow because of her pedigree we aren't real excited about keeping purebreds from her. My brother is pretty excited about crossing her with a...

You will have to let me know what you think about One and Only...I almost pulled the trigger last year but bred her to Vortec instead. We will see how that worked in a couple months. I'm nervous about Tiger Woods, I have seen some rear wheel trainwrecks from him.

I have a carrier, solid white shorthorn cow that we are wanting to breed with a composite bull hoping for bull calves. What are some bulls that you have had success with that are free of both TH and PHA?

I'm glad you posted these. We bred a couple heifers to Bellringer this spring. I'm hoping for similar results

This made me laugh

Kingfisher is a small place, but i'm not sure that I know you? Are you from there? Are your cows TH, PHA free? Being commercial they probably are clean but you might be careful with it. Smilin Bob is one that I have seen some good ones out of, you may look at him. I like Believe in Me but I...

I've attended that camp a couple times. Mark Johnson knows cattle, that is for sure. At one time he had one of the most impressive cow herds I had ever seen, not sure about now. Not near as nice of a guy in the classroom though!!
