Looking ahead to next breeding season. I have a cherry red Monopoly heifer out of a commercial Simmi cow by Dream On. She is bred now to Conneally Confidence Plus, an Angus bull for her first calf. She is flatter muscled and would like to stay maternal. Was thinking Drivin 80, Primo, or Maternal...

Looking at a Monopoly and a Heat Wave heifer in an online sale, both are out of the same cow (PB char by HooDoo).  Do Heatwave's or Monopoly's tend to make better cows? Both are around the same price. Thanks

http://www.infowars.com/armed-feds-prepare-for-showdown-with-nevada-cattle-rancher/ Absolutely ridiculous. Kudos to the people at Lautner's for posting it on their blog so it came to my attention.

Saw on Matt Lautner's Twitter/blog a picture of a week old (at most) calf with the caption sent in by the breeder: "He will be clipped and fit today and available for viewing and sale beginning tomorrow." Another: "His ears are a little droopy from rinsing but he's a great calf!" in regards to a...

Looking back through the Caldwell sale results I noticed some full sib MAB embryos that sold for $3,250 per egg. This is the first full sib to promo bulls I've really ever seen offered.. If the mating worked once it should work again right? Does anyone know of any full sibs out there now?
