We've had 11 Eye Candy calves in the past 2 years, 10 of them were good to really good calves, just one dud. Have had worse good to dud ratios with other bulls.  Conception has never been a problem, we have flushed successfully as well and plan to do more especially with the $150 price tag up...

The Bismarck Heifer breeding suggestions that I have seen are to the following; Connelly Right Answer, Mohnen Long Distance, and Conneally In Sure.

Pending TH testing, it looks like it will be Thriller. 

Thanks for the responses. Should have mentioned they were both 70 lb and under birth weights. I can get the following up here, Amen, One & Only, Thriller, and I have a bit of WMW in my tank. I am pretty sure I can't get Yellow Jacket. Not sure on the latest status of I-80 up here.

Any suggestions for flushing to Eye Candy and Monopoly heifers.  I haven't tested the heifers yet, so THF and THC options would be appreciated.  We are limited in what we can get in Canada as well.  Both heifers are very clubby in their look and out of TC Stockman 365 based cows.

Bump.  Came across this post when doing a search on a bull I'm looking at using. It was kind of neat to read through the opinions from 2 years ago.

Best farm/show related app is the flashlight app.  I've used it many times, at shows and at home.  Great for checking tattoos as well. Also, mylookout.com to help you find your phone if it's lost/stolen.  You can also set it to ring loudly even if it's off or dead. Trausch Farms and Lautner...

We have 2 steers and 1 heifer we are offering for sale on September 15th.  I have some pics of them as younger calves.  Once they're weaned and trained, we'll have videos and current pictures.ed Colour was funny with them, the 2 red calves are out of black cows, and the black one is out of a...

All of our hay prices here are by the bale.  4 X 5 rounds are as low as $12 delivered, but as high as 20-25 depending on distance. Standing hay is free to $5 per bale, lots of first cut that will never be cut for feed, just cut and let lay. Our cattle numbers in PEI have dropped over the last...

Eye Candy and Monopoly.

MLC reps in Canada have quoted Monopoly as $200/straw.  We can not get cloned semen of any kind in Canada.

We have 3 steers by him this year, 2 will make show steers and have been on the Lautner Farms blog.  When we bred back to him this year, we only used him on THC females. There are some pictures on our facebook album at this link.  You don't need to be a facebook user to access the pictures...

We have used him for 3 straight breeding seasons with the semen coming from 2 different companies.  We haven't had any conception issues. Forgot to mention, we also split straws successfully as well.

Our experience is that using THC bulls on our clean pedigree cows will give us better show calves every year.  The 2 examples given were just the best of our usage of clean bulls only, besides Who Made Who who has given us similar results to carrier bulls in terms of quality calves.  Most of our...

Our little experience with using club calf sires says that more often than not th carrrier sires/dams produce calves with "the look" needed to compete in the show ring. We started out by saying we would not use carrier bulls but found out quickly that our calves from th/pha free bulls (for the...

AM breeding should be fine.

Check out our facebook album.  You don't need to be a facebook member/user to view this album. Eye Candy, Monopoly, Boardwalk, Highliner, and Mercedes Benz have all given us some good calves for this year's sale. Feel free to comment here or on our facebook page what you think...

Thanks for the note on seeing him in person.  Do you think he was any bigger than BIM at the same age?  The double dirty sounds good to us, 95% of our cows are clean by pedigree.

The Ohio Senator.  I have only seen pictures, but he looks to have everything I am looking for.  The pictures of the sibs look good as well.  Reminds me of his sire, probably the most of any of his offspring, Monopoly.

I am not sure where you are from, but if you are north like we are I would guess frost bite on the calf, perhaps from when it was born.  We had a calf a few years back that nursed in a funny way for the first week or two after birth and she was born on a very cold night.  After a couple of...
