    Compton brought a Chute Full to the Cattle Congress

    For what it is worth I bought a LUING bull awhile back. his oldest calves are about two and are getting close to ready. When we sample the meat I will have an idea if they fit. So far I like them, I think the females will make good cows. They have a little extra hair which is good in north...

    That is why I like Shorthorns, they are a little more laid back. I do have a couple of rude ones but the cows have many acres and a lot of feed to work with, so it works out.

    Probably 1700 to 1850, yes, I have to look for new genetics and I raise most of my bulls. I did say 1250 pound cow. She has to be thick deep and in good shape, which they usually are. My cows still have their calves on them and they are in good shape as are their calves.
