Here is a head shot of our main herd sire taken last winter. An interesting thing about this bull is that by summertime, he sheds out so completely, that it's hard to find a curly hair on him anywhere.

Thanks Scot! After a couple years of sending heifers to thrive between here and the North Pole, it appears several of the heifers (and a 1/2 brother) will have the opportunity to digest some mid-west fescue in the near future. You folks going to make it down to try out the local ski areas this...

It would have been nice to get acquainted! The latchkey is always out if you get back this way.

Thanks JTM. Yes, if looking at beautiful country with beautiful cattle were only a source of income, I would be a very wealthy man!

Thanks Dan and Grant. Yes, it's possible to keep this "high desert" green, but it sure takes a lot of time, effort, and resources! Electric rates here have increased tremendously in the past 5 years. Usually, we get a few rain showers during the summer that helps take a bit of the pressure off...

I took some pictures today when checking the cattle, and thought I'd post a few. They're in their working clothes, so a bit dirtier and less well posed than you'll see in the glossy sale catalogs! The calves were weaned about 3 weeks ago. These dams will be going into winter in good shape...

Here is another example of a masculine Shorthorn bull.

Nice videos Jamie! Wishing you folks much success. The old Diamond Baroness 21J cow has certainly had a positive genetic influence here. Your Frimley Ultra Susan 43U is really proving herself also. Wish I could make it up for the sale.

AJ-  Yes, semen is available. The bulk of it is stored at Genex Hawkeye West in Billings. I think that Cattle Visions still has some if you'd like to deal with them. You can PM me as to quantity if you'd like get it directly from us. He will be going into collection again this fall. We will...

With that red bull calf, you are running out of excuses to not get going! Nice to see your area so green in the pictures. It's green here too....under the sprinklers....just got the mid year pump bills....ouch.

CF-The average 2012- 205 day weights were as follows: Coalpit Creek Leader 6th bull calves-693 lbs (overall 2012 bulls averaged-675) CPCL 6th 365 day-1,011 lbs. (Overall yrl. bull average=993) These bull calves were all pasture wintered with free choice grass hay and hand (bunk) fed 8-10 lbs...

I must say that it was nice to get up this morning to see such positive comments. Thanks to you all! I Baled hay until pretty late, so am a bit groggier than usual this morning. Mark and SH4US, I think Cattle Visions has semen available. I released some to Lance early last spring, but the...

Really nice bulls (as usual) TGIB!

I thought I'd post one of "Easy's" daughters on here. I had to turn the cows in on some hay ground a couple weeks ago due to lack of rain. Of course, we got some rain last week just when some other hay was getting ready to bale! This bull calf is sired by "YY Duke of Earl 186Y". He is "YY Duke...

The only bad thing about Dan and Jamie’s visit was that it was too short! Not enough time to “talk cows”! As it was, I caused them to miss their 12:00 Border Veterinary appointment. I’m still waiting to hear how that experience went? Diamond Prophecy 21P settled right in and bred his first two...

He's staying here Gary, but a good son is heading North!

This sure won’t make any friends among the club calf folks, but my conscience will not let this pass. What “may help someone else down the road” would be to not breed this type of cattle! Cattle that if left to themselves would breed themselves out of existence in short order! When humankind was...

Thanks Cabana S.I. and Dan. The calves in the video with the mature cows are all sired by Coalpit Creek Leader 6th. The calves in the 2  yr. old heifer video are sired by a son of YY Earl of Dover 118U named YY Duke of Earl 186Y. "Dukes" dam is a Dover Ranch female I purchased as a calf in 2007...

My wife pointed out that I didn't get the link right for the 2013 calves that she wanted. We added some "roping calves in training" to the end of this one, and I had uploaded the one we hadn't finished. Here is the one she likes.... Final edited version

I thought I would try to post some video links of Coalpit Creek Leader 6th (AKA "Easy"), some of his calves, and his 2 year old daughters and their calves that are sired by YY Duke of Earl 186Y who is the young bull in the video. Our cattle winter on grass hay, (this year we have some winter...
