Dan have you seen any double carriers of e266x? I have a three potentials (ET calves), but I think 2 of 3 are likely single carriers as they are normal looking, but just show more muscle and bone - also very large BW versus the third calf who looks like the other non carrier calves I have. I did...

The e266x variant seems to be the most prominent in the Canadian population with some very popular and heavily used lines being carriers. And that is no surprise as it appears in the heterozygous state it gives the animals more muscle expression which is generally a positive in our industry.

Beebe, I agree that smaller cows are more profitable per acre. The smaller the cow the better in those terms, and sheep are even more profitable per acre. However different environments, body composition, time of weighing, BCS, feed the cattle are on all affect body weight. A 4 frame cow here...

Nice bulls Dan - especially like the looks of the Belvedere bull - and getting a bit off topic in response to Idalee and Beebe; several years ago we weighed, did hip heights and body condition scored all the 3 year and older cows (about 50) to get a baseline of where we were. We found that our...

Has anyone seen the bull in person? Any thoughts? How about his maternal brother Goldenrod?

The other way to find EPD's is to go to the Canadian Shorthorn Digital Beef site. Nothing blocked there and EPD's are the same, just have different within breed percentiles for each country.

Any opinions on him from people that have used or seen offspring?

Krakatoa as a 2 year old.

I think Ridge Runner is mostly Dual purpose by pedigree (Columbus son). Total was probably not as extreme as he looks as most pictures of that era were taken with hips towards camera to give the appearance of more hip height, with bull elevated or camera person low down to the ground and bellies...

A couple more that were sent to me. If anyone has pics of these bulls as well that would be great NVS Valley Shadrack High Time

I will know more in a month. CSA has 18 calves from 4 herds with 83 lb average and 103 index (lighter than average) born since 2007. His BW and CE are both situated that he should be a calving ease type bull, but did see a few pulls on first calf heifers in the data.

I have a few calves coming from Krakatoa in about a month. Dan Stephenson thinks he can drum up a picture and was going to send one to me. In the mean time here is a daughter from Braun Ranch in Sask.

Thanks for those Idalee.

Some more pics

I think the industry blames the college professors, ag fieldman, etc too much for their own screw ups. I agree that those types were advocating more growth and yield, however I doubt they were advocating for what the cattle became. The purebred show ring hype takes something and it becomes a...

I prefer the look of Red Max Prince, but he was born in 1964 so chances are he was fairly small? Picture just not taken in 2 feet of straw, but I can sure appreciate the type he displays in the picture. Goliath looks fairly useful too - again picture taking/clip jobs probably make him look more...

Well I'll add some that were sent to me

So has anyone actually seen the bull? There was also mention of a video - does anyone know where it is?
