What is the biggest birthweight calf that you have had or heard of?  I heard last night of one that weighed 185 lbs and heifers that had calves weighing 146 and 153. 

Correct me if I am wrong, but it has been my experience that if the heifer calf from a set of mixed twins is considerably smaller that the bull, it is definitely not fertile.  Often you can tell this at birth as the heifer calf's vulva will be quite enlarged and the teats will be almost...

From a seven year old shorthorn cow, born unassisted, bull and a heifer.  Bull calf weighed 108 lbs and heifer calf weighed 100 lbs.  That's a lot of calf to carry around.  The cow is big, probably 17-1800 lbs yesterday, not sure what she would be today.  What are your experiences with twins...

If you are looking for something a little different and not too far from home, we are just across the border in Manitoba.  Come, have a look and maybe we can help.

Hve you considered shorthorn.  They sure have the hair and the temperament.  there are some good ones here in MB.

Cattle look good Scott.  Funny thing, we have three white heifer calves in a pasture and they are always together, also.  White girls, eh!!!

Here is a recent photo of our Patent son, Waukaru Patent 0183, out of Waukaru Minnie 454.  We purchased him at the Waukaru sale in 2010.  His 1st calf, a heifer arrived on Friday and looks good.

This is veryinteresting.  Couold someone tell me what a bulldog calf looks and acts like.  We had a calf from a purchased cow that was born with no tail and a real bulldog way of walking on the back end.  Is this an indicator of PHA? She survived to about a year old and then tasted real good. ...

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe that there is such a thing as a "WHITE" shorthorn.  Any "WHITE" shorthorn that I have ever seen always has some red hairs in their ears or on their switch.  I believe that what we call a white shorthorn is really a very light roan.

Thanks very much.  It was good to mmet you and hope that your heifers gothome safe and sound.

We bought the two JPJ heifers that Jungels consigned to the Agribition Sale in 2009.  They have both calved with red bull calves.  JSF RB Mighty Mary had a 84 lb bull calf unassisted by Alta Cedar Samurai.  She has a very good udder, lots of milk for a heifer and weaned a really nice calf, while...

That's him.  We only used him for cleanup last year after AI.  We got 3 calves, all heifers, 2 whites and a roan.  Scotland's QK Mae cow calved with a heifer by him just two weeks ago.  They are all really nice heifers, thick, yet very feminine.

Here is another son of old Legend.  I finally figured oout how to post pictures on here.  Now theres no stopping me.

Oops!! The second and third pic are of the same calf.  This is the right pic.

Here are a few pics taken on Fathers day of calves from our Hargrave James Ricky bull.  He is a son of Cornersite James and out of a Shouffler's El Bonito daughter. The white calf at the end is a daughter of Hatfield Rock On, a Northern Legend son of Alta Cedar Julia Ann.  Let me know what you...

There is lots of info on this subject in the dairy business, and I don't see why the heritability of these traits would not extend to beef cows as well.  Try the Canadian Dairy Network, CDN.  They are responsible for coordinating the data from these tests for all the dairy breeds and could give...

okotoks;  You never said if Kitty Clare's calf was a bull or heifer.  I really like the Clare that is here. Maybe a Prophecy out of Kitty Clare would be a good investment.  I can see a road trip to AB this summer.

I wont spoil the game, but I will say that the bulls were very well recieved by commercial guys.  They averaged 3389 on nine bulls sold.  Lots of people at the sale, and the Shorthorns soll as well or better than any other breed.  They were the only bredd that every bull offered, sold and for...

We have two JPJ heifers that we purchased from Jungels at Agribition in 2009.  The first one has calved with a bull by Alta Cedar Samurai.  He is solid red and built like a tank.  90 lb BW, born mid Feb.  The heifer is a nice size, probably about 1100 lbs in working clothes, with a beautiful...

He is dong great.  Growing like a weed and really showing a lot of muscle.  The cow seems to have taken the trip to Canada a little less well.  She milks heavy and went downhill with alll the moves.  She is starting to come back now and may be in calf to Top Shelf before she left Waukaru.  We...
