    Replacement making Simmi bull

    If you dont mind a 3/4 bull, I think Primary Candidate will have a place in making solid commercial replacements that can work in both worlds. The calf we had born this spring will be kept as a cleanup bull for the sole purpose of creating replacement females.

    Primary Candidate Simmy Bull

    PC goes back 3 generations to 1st calf heifers FWIW. Definitely agree with DSC, very impressive mature bull in person. There is a slick picture on Facebook through one of the owners (Justin Johnson) right now, slick or haired up, that things is quite the bull.

    Pig experts --- Need help with sick, newly purchased show pig

    1st question would be, how long did the pig have that temp of 106? What did the vet give? Anytime we have pneumonia, we run Pulmotil through the water according to label for 3 days. Some of these pigs will come out of it, some just end up looking like pot bellied things and never get over the...

    one thing you could change

    I would tend to disagree with you when it comes to power and weight in a breeding class. Power is a necessary evil when it comes to cattle. Do we need breeding heifers that have a HW quarter and top, no, but in my mind, they should have enough to them, that you can look at them and think that...

    Any one seen mature hard whiskey ?

    How did you get semen on him last year? If my memory serves me correct, none was released last year due to them not being able to get him to freeze....

    Trailers

    I have a 2012 28x8 custom Elite for sale. The whole trailer is polished aluminum, riding on alcoas, 2 cut gates, tie rails inside and out, electric over hydraulic brakes, hay rack etc. Decided I needed a bigger trailer.

    Show Lamb Feed

    Depending on what part of the east you are from, Umbarger usually has pretty good representation on dealers. They have a great line of lamb feeds, pretty popular as well. Look them up.

    He was cloned last summer by Lautner and Bonham. Word was they bought him from Morrow for $60,000.

    black baldie as a breeding bull

    The biggest concern I would have is why was he orphaned? Did the dam die while having him? Was he a big calf? Also, what breed is he? What did he look like when he was born? Another thought is, when bulls get to where they like to come up and be babied, they are really dangerous. I have heard...

    Best Carrier Bull

    That is correct. He was beat once. Wonder what ever happened to that Vickland calf?

    Hoof Trimming

    Have they ever had them done before? If not, I would recommend that you go ahead and get it done now, and then repeat at least 3 weeks prior to your show.

    Walks Alone vs. BIM

    This was going on while Jody was here.... I remember this started about a year ago, but died down for a bit.

    Best Carrier Bull

    And this said lab also mistakenly called Ivy League THF. Not going to argue this one way or the other, but just because the PhD that developed the test hasn't found this, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    Feed Recommendation

    Where are you located? Lots of different options, but it all depends on this. Also, I realize it is cheaper to feed 1 calf, but I really think you would be better off feeding 2. You can still seperate them and feed one calf something cheap, then sell him for beef after your fair, but I really...

    Best Carrier Bull

    Not going to argue that breeding heifers to monopoly is a bad idea, however, I do know of some guys that breed their 1st calf heifers to a THC monopoly son, whether they are carriers or THF. I have heard from a few guys that Monopoly is a "soft" carrier, and that when he is bred to a THC...

    4 years ago tomorrow (Why is the SP Logo Red?)

    I met Red (and woody) in spring of 2008. What a nice, sincere, loving individual. I was just thinking the other day, I wonder what happened to her cow herd, anyone know?
