Here are some Double Brute heifer calves out of Frontline cows.Ages are 5 days to 2 weeks.

surprise

where do you see that pha status I cant find it

why?

Dennis hoffrogge had 3 calves in 2015 probably cheaper to do the bull than all 3 calves.

I had it with Weston Surprise born about 1970. I called the ASA and they dropped the PHA TH designation on him but left the orange on the offspring.

You make a good point Medium Rare the real bonus goes to the cattleman who uses an animal like this in an outcross or crossbreeding situation.I have been tightening these pedigrees for sometime now and this heifer's pedigree is about as intense as I have gone so far.I will know more in 2 to 3...

I agree Oakview a deeper red would be my choice as well but it is inherent in this breed and red on red seems to intensify it.Most of these tend to darken with age.I have heard that a white bull was the answer as well and better yet a white horned bull will fix about everything.I wonder if that...

Thanks for the comment Shortybreeder,it is good that you realize the value of longevity especially at this stage of your program.Productive longevity is an economically valuable trait and selecting for that is antagonistic to most purebred programs.The race to find and promote the next great...

Being a Shorthorn breeder I have developed some fairly thick skin over the years Mark.I promise I won't get mad.Here is another picture of her that you might appreciate more.

This heifer calf caught my eye the other day when checking a remote pasture she is about 2 1/2 mo.old.She has an inbreeding coeficient of 39.18.Her dam,grandam, great grandam and great great grandam are still in active production.Her dams heifer from last year is being bred this spring so the...

I would consider it only if the animals are or very near to your ideal and their pedigrees are balanced with cattle that come close to your ideal as well.We have been breeding 1/2 sibs and closer with good success for a while now.

I had the same deal on one of my pedigrees with Weston Surprise.I was told by an ASA rep that all the old bulls were arbitrarily entered as PHAH and THH.They told me they would clean it up and the green is gone but the orange remains.

That is a diffferent group.The cow your dad saw is a coming 3 year old by Frontline out of a 108 daughter.

This group includes 4 year old cows,2 year old first calf heifers and yearling heifers.They are sired by Kaper 4508, his son Wolf Ridge Frontline H28x, and his son Wolf Ridge Double Brute.The bull they are running with is another Frontline son that is a 2 year old.

XBAR,you have expanded on the statement I have made on here many times.Data without context is useless.It is like advertising State Fair grand champion Shorthorn bull.Was that the Iowa state fair or the New Jersey state fair. I do not believe there is a one size fits all CW/WW ratio.50% is the...

I am going to cite the two articles you posted above Librarian and suggest that possibly those lower weaning weights mean more profit to Aaron's operation.

First of all hats off to Wiseguy for his efforts in establishing a test of this caliber.The positives I see are to provide breeders with a level playing field to see how their genetics compare against other lines and to help validate the 50k test.Besides the cost one of my concerns is that the...

Here are some pictures of Double Brute taken last winter to help the discussion along

Our goal for weaning weights are focused on the cow rather than the calf.We want 50%plus of her body weight at weaning and we want a calf every 365 days or less in a low input scenario.Double Brute pictured below is one of our homebred herdsires that we are using to produce this kind of female...
