How did the Total Solution clone look in Denver?  The original Total Solution would be 10 years older than the other bulls in Denver, just curious how he compares size wise.  He is more known as calving ease and maternal.  Is that the way he looks?

What did lot 121 bring? Thanks

What did lot 11. Rachael 54N bring?

Birth weights - 5 bulls averaged 94.2 and 3 heifers averaged 88.7.  I wouldn't breed a heifer to him, but we have bred 2nd calvers to him.  Never touched one at birth.

Its on the table for the January meeting.  It probably won't go into effect until 2014 or even 2015.  So 1/4 blood animals are fine for this show season.

Talking with John at the AMAA you will still be able to get a 1/4 blood foundation certificate, but it won't be a registration paper, so you can't show the animal.  But if you buy 1/2 blood bulls, you can get a 1/4 foundation certificate and then breed that heifer back to a 1/2 blood bull, and...

This is a Maverick that we raised.  It depends what your goals are.  He doesn't throw them very clubby, they have more of a Maine breeding cattle look.  Real thick, plenty of bone, good bodied, performance, sound.  If you want show cattle, breed him to a cow that is nice necked and good through...

As a side note, it is on the agenda for the January meeting to change the minimum percentage for registration to 3/8.

That's probably one of the most honest things I've heard from Al Gore.  He finally admits that he shares the same mission as Al-Jazzera.

I was out there a week ago Wednesday and they were still taking pictures and videoing.

I really liked Direct Hit aswell.  I think some of the downfall to him was that Heat Seeker was probably at its peak when he was being promoted, and then Heat Wave is only a year younger. I liked him because you could get a pretty good female out of him to.  Alot better than the Heat Seeker or...

Has anybody used Sullivan's new Teflon combs.  Do they work any better than regular combs for fitting legs. Thanks

Frostback is exactly right.  It is Spastic Paresis, he won't get any better, and he won't gain any more weight.  Make him a locker appointment as soon as you can. You won't get anything for him at the sale barn. Most SP calves will appear to straight in their hock before they show the symptoms...

DL, Its been a couple of years since I switched from Nuflor to Nuflor Gold, but I thought my vet said that they put something in Nuflor Gold to extend the half life and make it stay in their system longer, and therefore it should be more effective.  Is that correct?  Is it worth paying the...

We had over 20 Vegas calves over the years, all out of Maine X Angus cows.  He needs to be bred to a very moderate framed, big bodied cow.  The steers are way to tall to be very competitive.  The females are good.  He will add a lot of frame in the clubby world.  I don't raise shorthorns, but I...

I saw him at Nichols a week ago today and his name is certainly appropriate.  Granted there wasn't that many clubby bulls at Nichols or Hawkeye that day, be he was bar none the best one.  For a two and half year old bull he had a lot of leg hair.  He was slightly bigger framed than alot of the...

What program did you use?  We are looking at buying one.

Strawberry heal wart or more commonly called a hairy heel wart.  Tetracycline works very well on them.  Get some water soluble tetracycline and squirt it between her toes every day after you rinse her.

I watched the sale and I can't remember the averages, but I do remember thinking that the quality and the prices were better than the MN beef expo.  The bottom end of the calves were better than most sales and the top end was as good as any sale in MN.
