    steer...aggressive at new home, angel with me

    We recently(mid March) sold a steer who was green broke. He was fine, just needed some work to be show ready. Once at his new home, he began charging the girl and her parents. They say it is very bad. I advised tying all day and lead to feed, water. This worked for a small time but then the...

    Defect or just tough luck?

    We have a calf with some issues. He doesn't fully fit into any of the genetic defects I know of, but I could be wrong. He is fine back to his flank/hooks. Then he seems to slope off steep into his pins. Underdeveloped hindquarters and the rear legs are bad. Hock is stiff; will not move either...

    How long do YOU turn one out before calving

    Hey guys, When you have a show heifer, how long before calving do you kick her out of the show barn/feed? We have had some bad luck in the past with them being too fat; fed good until 2 months before calving. This year, we had one due in January. Put her out Aug-Oct1. Back in for 2 weeks, small...

    Breeding suggestion

    I guess I'm going to join the never ending list of people asking for breeding advice. I guess I'm just curious as to what everyone else would do. I have a PB simmy heifer out of Momentum and an Encore x Antoinette's Joy cow. She is about what you'd expect from the pedigree. She's a 5.5 frame...

    Color Question

    A dark blue bull out of a solid black bull(PB simmy, no color in the pedigree) and a pretty bright red roan mama would probably throw what out of black simangus cows and char x cows. Cow are and have been solid colored a good many generations. Some have a white face. I know he carries red, but...

    Carnac

    What's everyone's opinion on Carnac? We have a handful of Simmy x Char cows that are big, deep, and sound. Muscle is fine,however, more wouldn't hurt. Need more hair and a cocky, showsteer look. Don't want to add frame, good shouldered, need to be tighter throated. Any experience with CE and if...

      Has anyone ever had a calf presented upside down? As in head first, belly up. I know this is a dumb question, but for the past two years, we have had one heifer present her calf this way. I have looked in common reference materials and I never see this position pictured among abnormal...
