I am a Macho fan, love the 600u on his dams side. But he can really harden them up. I haven't had any experience with the other two bulls. You know the cow and I have no doubt you will make a good decision. I know you weren't looking for more suggestions but I have seen some nice mama's boy calves.

I wouldn't overlook Unstoppable. I have seen a lot of good ones.

Go for the goat! I thought it was stupid also but on two occasions I have seen cattle infested with ringworm for multiple years. One guy even powere washed and bleached his entire barn. Still had it. In both cases an ugly 50 dollar billy fixed the problem, and I have not seen it in either barn...

insjockey i don't think that is a bad question. Most Simm purebred breeders you talk to aren't that high on Meyer. He works best on crossbred cows. Which is what he has been predominantly used on. He puts a white face on them most of the time, adds or retains style and athleticism, and adds or...

My suggestion is to find a purebred breeder that has stacked low bw bulls for multiple generations. Your best chance will most likely be an Angus herd. You just need to find a program that keeps detailed records of bw's, weaning weights, yearling weights, pelvic measurements, and ultrasound...

How big was the calf? Just wondered. Hope you get some pics I have been interested in using that bull.

Angus- anything with an occ prefix or a duff bull. I think OCC Doctor would work nice for what you want. As far as simm I do like High Regard, Whizard, A Step Up, and mama's boy.

Sorry forgot-Valley Vet carries O NO MO.

We have had the most luck by skinning the dead calf. Leave the tail attached. We take baler twine poke holes in the hide and tie it to their legs and loop a strand across their body in front of the front legs and just behind them. Every time we have done this the cow has took the calf within two...

What is the pedigree on the 805 cow of Goretska's? I can't seem to find it. Just curious.

Unstoppable would be at the top of my list.

A 6000 or a 6500 with a 7000 or 7500 surge should run them both with ease. Bigger won't hurt.

You can google it for how to measure and available equipment to do so. I would like to have the measurements done at 12 months. I was always told that an area of 160 or greater was good for a yearling bull. iowabeefcenter.org has a pretty good article about pelvic measurements explaining what...

Consider No Worries, all the reports I have heard are they are small and fancy and a lot of them have some chrome. I also agree about Jose and comfort zone.

What ever happened to pelvic measurements on Bulls? Years ago we bought our bulls from the bull test here in Ohio (no longer exists) they always listed the pelvic measurements of the Bulls and we always used this info. I would like to know the pelvic measurement on Bulls as well as heifers.

Merry Christmas!!

Amigo is my favorite, very consistant dream on son. I may use a son of Houston or Houston himself this year. The bull pendleton also looks promising.

The Answer, Connealy Confidence both throw small ones and I will second Final Answer and the other bulls Gargan mentioned.

It is most everywhere. If you want to win it is hard not to have a little Maine or shorthorn in the calf. (alot of clubby bulls have one or the other or both influences) Charlais seem to be popular producing slick shear steers. And Angus is a popular base. Though Angus Simmental x is also really...

The most extreme calf I have seen this past year was a Texas Tornado out of a who made who cow. Massive bone, crazy muscle, and clean fronted. I just don't know about structure as time went on. I will see if I can get more info.
