    Proud Dad

    That bull is even better in person! Great to hear how well things went for her. Of course, the experience she gets from YOU along with the contests in the AJSA helps. Great job Coach, on raising two great kids and helping them learn what success in the show ring really means!

    What do you pay?

    We just had our son's show hog processed the first part of June. Most we sausage out, with extra cost associated with that (extra for seasoning in the sausage). And a big part we have cheesy brats made. We only smoke the bacon and one ham... our cost was over $300, can remember exactly but not...

    Not to try to side track this.... but.... Why do you show them with nose clips?

    Simmental bulls are great for calving ease

    Just an update to this heifer, she is having a fantastic year showing. We took her to Junior Regionals in KS, where she was 4th in division, and to the Junior Nationals where she placed 2nd in a very competitive, full class. She is just a smidgen smaller than her contemporaries, but I bet she...

    Cooking in the Stall

    We have a George Forman grill. We by ciabatta bread at SAMs, lunch meat, cheese (we like pepper jack and provolone), and get the sandwich spreads (we like chipotle, basil, and baconaise). Take a garlic butter, put on the outside of the bread, then build your sandwich with your favorite meats...

    Built right bull calf pix

    His papers say he is black. Love the cow side, I have a Crossfire cow and she is one of my favorites. At 10 years old, she still sticks an embryo every year and brings in the biggest calf!

    a few spring calves...

    I took this shot this morning. I had my camera set up wrong (my good cannon), so all my pics are pretty washed out. But this was in the shade so I figured I would try. This is the Broker x Sweet Dreams (Tommy Cline's donor). He is a January, and his recip mom is not the best. I think when he is...

    a few spring calves...

    I was out in the field tonight and took some pics with my phone, thought I would post some here. Pretty happy with our Spring calf crop. We have a good mix of bulls and heifers, and most of the bulls are pretty nice. So here goes... The first photo is a Lock N Load x SS U Misti Nights embryo...

    Regional trip..

    I have not checked in for awhile, since we have been busy with shows and all. We just spent last week at the North Central Regional show, and had a pretty good time. I took a litter of Corgi pups, and sold all but one. Our cattle did pretty good too! We have a half simm fall heifer, sired by...

    What Simmental bull to use?

    I have seen a few of his calves and have liked them, but have you seen his EPD's? Not so good, if you are worried about that kind of thing, like we are. Wish they were better.

    question about simmi cows milk

    A red tint is not abnormal, leave her be. We had an angus heifer that  calved a little heifer calf that we had to assist in her first few times nursing, and had the vet out because we thought there was a problem. Her first milk was blood red, and so thick it would barely poor from the cup we...

    What Simmental bull to use?

    We bought some SS U Knights Misty x Lock N Load embryos, got a spring bull calf that is the best we have put on the ground! He is missing the white face, but huge boned and thick! The other two eggs are set up for September and January calvings, and I am super excited. So, the genetics are...

    Our Steel Force Bull

    My camera died right after I took the first photo, so these were taken on the Ipad. They show he is actually pretty long even with that depth. And he is very wide! Thanks for all the great complements, we really appreciate it!

    Not again

    So sorry to hear this! I love my Corgi, best dog I ever owned and I will never own another breed. I have one female, and she has a litter right now, and I am hoping to keep a female from it because what is better than one Corgi? TWO! I hope your wife is not taking it too hard. Sad all the way...

    Our Steel Force Bull

    Well, we drug out our Feb bull, a Steel Force embryo bull we have been doing nothing with! He has been in a big pasture, all by himself, eating lush grass and clover... and show season is about to begin so I thought we better bring him in and start working on him. He has been in one time since...

    Found some semen today

    We raised a Salute x simm steer a few years ago. He fed great, finished off wonderfully, and tasted great! We placed well in shows with him, he looked like a paint horse in his markings. Here is a pic of him...

    Costs of certain vet charges???

    grandmaster offspring?

    We really like them. Have never had calving problems, and now have one in production and she is super! Calves come small for us, and vigorous. Our Grandmaster calves are very showy, and we seem to have a lot of heifers out of him. Pictured is a Grandmaster heifer that my daughter showed last...

    Heifer scared of small people

    And sometimes they just never get over it. We have the same situation over here. A gorgeous Montecito heifer that jumps out of her skin when ever my son, 9, even looks at her. She is fine with me or the older two girls, but is absolutely scared and dangerous when he is near her. She was going...
