You've got that backwards - my understanding is that the double muscling in the Maines came from the Durham Shorthorn cattle that were used to create the Maine Anjou breed. That is also where the Belgian Blue got there double muscling. So the cattle in the UK may have gotten it from the Maines...

I think that show ring cattle throughout history have proven to be the wrong type for the commercial cow/calf producer. There were points in time where they were optimal (I think), but according to experts/breed leaders? if you aren't changing them then you aren't improving. So if a bit of...

He sold to Shadybrook Shorthorns in Quebec, Canada. $45,000 I believe. I am not privy to other details in terms of how they might market semen.

A lot of variables on implanting - quality of embryos themselves (I have purchased some extremely poor ones, and have learned to put them all under a microscope and reload before implanting), management and heat detection of recips and quality of vet or technician putting them in. We have been...

I was at the sale - price didn't make much sense - could've bought the half sister in calf for 4400 pounds & she wasn't even the high selling red. Most of the cattle sold in the 4000-6500 pound range so as I said the embryo price didn't make much sense.

Any reports on his offspring yet? Only a handful registered in Canada born this past spring.

Big Mac was collected, I actually have one straw, and Duane Farrar or Milt Hennig might have some. I know another fellow who has a few straws.

There are some breeds that track gestation length and may be willing to supply you with their raw data or even averages. A quick search on the internet should also bring up quite a few studies. Quite a few breeders track gestation length as well (especially those that AI) so you should be able...

Firstly, your semen will be fine if you left the plug out and the tank was full. All of the semen should have been sitting immersed in liquid nitrogen. If the tank had less nitrogen there could have been an issue with the semen in the top goblets getting a little warmer, but that would have...

This is the only one I have seen, maybe someone has a different one.

If you check the CLRC website with Canadian pedigrees you'll see what Slug was. http://www.clrc.ca/cgi-bin/pedigree.cgi?_breedcode=MS&_countrycode=&_association=21&_regnumberprefix=M&_regnumber=459257&_regnumbersuffix=

Anyone know anything about the bull? His stats say he was huge when mature, but he sure has some rib to him and doesn't look that tall, but then I guess that's why he weighed almost 3000 lbs.

Grant, did you ever make it to Argentina? What did you see? I haven't seen any genetics in Canada. Found a video of the cows and some of her clones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYfBYZRbi5o

I saw 27C and his dam quite a bit when he was a calf and yearling. I absolutely loved his mother, but she was actually a little small for her day. Very good udder, moderate framed, but wide and deep. 27C was the same and was too small framed to really make a go in the show ring. Dan & Jill...

Who are people using to do embryo implanting in Montana that are good? Looking for someone who could provide recips as well, so would prefer outfits that can provide both services. Thanks.

Anyone know where a person can get Owners Use or even Canadian qualified semen collected in Ontario anymore? Eastgen won't do either, and Foundation Genetics doesn't either.

I think so. They are just trying to clean up some inventory in Canada.

The email flyer I got said it was a June special. Phone your local rep or Dean at the main office 888-785-7883.

Yes, I am in Canada, and ABS in Canada has put all of these bulls on special; $15/unit. I get a bit off of that as a rep so thought if any of these bulls might work I would give them a try at that kind of money.

If you had a choice of these bulls for show calves which would you use if any? How about the for maternal function and show calves? Direct Draft, Manchild, Hollywood, Point Taken or Hannibal
