I agree with the chances of a lot of white, she does have a bald face.  We are breeding and marketing 80% of our cattle as purebreds. 

I started a page for my farm on Facebook.  Apparently you have to have 25 likes before you can even get a user name.  Search 3D Farms LLC. Most of our farm pictures are either print pictures or on another computer, so I am slowly getting them uploaded on there. Thanks!

Thanks!  I haven't thought about Amigo.  We have considered Fat Butt as his popularity keeps increasing and he has the power.  We do hope to throw some showy calves out of this mating.  The donor will be 11 years old this fall.  Trying to really make smart choices on flushing her more and more...

I am getting ready to flush this female in November.  She is sired by HC Power Drive 88H.  She is heterozygous black, so I have considered flushing her to a heterozygous black bull just to see if we'd come up with any reds from this mating.  Really want marketable calves with a chrome face...

Does anyone know where to buy custom freeze branding irons?

DLB, There is a pretty long thread on here somewhere about Grandmaster.  I think it might be about what Simmental bulls are hot now.  You will find some who are unsure about Grandmaster b/c his numbers came way down in this years Sire Summary, but I have never heard of calving trouble with him...

Are you talking about STF Too Red G64?  Thats the only Too Red I know about.  Some friends here in NC have a son by Too Red, he is well put together.  That bull was shown at the Royal and STF won the Pen of 5 in Denver with a Too Red son in the mix. Saw a daughter sell at STF for $9,000 in...

(clapping) <party> <party> Congrats!  Sounds like it couldn't have been any better for you!  Best of luck in the open show.

I'm in if its not too late.

I'd like to use her as a recip!

First of all T-Majic, welcome to Steer Planet! I have some experience in "trying" to market my own stud bull and from my experience the lines are long and the road is tough!  Is there opportunity, yes, but everything has to line up just right.  I'm willing to help anyway I can.  Email me a...

Great point!  I have a donor who is a tank!  If I was going to change anything about her I would say she is a little bit heavy fronted, but I like everything she puts together from her brisket back, so I don't dock her on it and her calves get better and better. Best of luck on your Simmental...

I think you made a good choice.  Grandmaster got raked over the coals pretty hard when the updated numbers came out, but the proof is still in his progeny.  His calves carry the same power that he does and with a bald face and Meyer back up the bottom side of that pedigree I see a lot of...

Hats made it to NC Jason!  Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience using co-op herds to grow an operation using ET?  I have a local breeder who is considering allowing us to use a group of his cows as recips, possible the whole herd next year if we work something beneficial to both of us on his group of Fall Calvers. Anyway, I...

I like that middle heifer.

I read this article as well.  Does seem to be a tough situation.  From the two or three articles I read, it seems that Leachman was trying to keep his stock where they have thrived for many years, but circumstances after the foreclosure sale caused the horses to be moved off the ranch.  It...

He looks great!

Hard one to read, hard to look at that picture.  Leachman must have thought that his horses would be better off fending for themselves instead of keeping them on his place which is or was falling apart.  Certainly not the right answer, animals need us, thats why we do what we do.... I am with...

Unfortunately there is no longer a such thing as common sense in Government.
