A friend of mine is planning on setting up a few of his GKB influenced cows so we can breed them AI. I am running through the different semen providers trying to give him a little help with had he should order. He is looking to produce a few show heifers for his kids. So we're looking for...

Nothing has changed in Texas roans always take a hit.

Lol what were they thinking these cattle need more wedge of course.

Some people just sell bad cattle sometimes and make it up to you on the next one lol. Either way they get your money twice. Club calves are a risk and sometimes it just doesn't go well.  If the animal is that important that's why they have insurance. I personally like the ASA guarantee or...

It was probably political you must have stepped on someone's toes. Win with honor lose with honor , talk ish on the way home.

Useing the head clippers is fine, on the sheep heads I use a beveled blade that just cuts through hair like butter. This blade has dull tips so it's safe on calm cattle. I clip down the top to half way down the side , neck, head, and tail.  I do this in July when I have them all coming in for...

It seems like you are trying the right things. Unfortunately that's just the nature of Angus cattle.

Good commercial type bull

Oh ok, welcome to steerplanet

Great first post. You tell us what you know and will tell you what we know. P.S.    I bet that judge is going to sell a lot of cattle between now and the show.

Yes this is a dispersal and they have had previous sales in which I'm sure they had good profit margins. Buying donors and haveing good recipes tends to do that in the show cattle business. Anyone can have a good set of revenue numbers, but if your cost of doing business is to high it deminishes...

These are show cattle bred to win cattle shows. These cattle are line bred and do exhibit a lot of predictability with continued line breeding. Yes the heifers get sold as show animals for a lot more then chump money at the county sale barn. This is what happens when you actually excel at...

My screen shots are to big to upload so I use http://www190.lunapic.com/editor/ and upload it then save the web image. I'm sure there's apps to do this but I'm lazy. Certain forums require a web link to images so it helps In that aspect as well.

I believe their in cross plains Texas. Bull is out of double vision, I would assume the cows are clubby bred also.

It just depends on if you want to raise show cattle? If yes, then he would be a good bang for your buck as these are the bloodlines that win shows. If you want to brag about efficiency and epds and what not, then no he would not be a good choice for you.

In true Texas Shorthorn Association form. The lots are online now at close to midnight. Should make for a great sale.

Sin city, Talladega, AOD would be fine by me.

water is wet

I'm just going off of what the experts are saying up top. Apparently he's got some issues "If you'll pause the video at about :06-:07, you'll see why he has a -3 CE EPD" I'm guessing this is about his shoulder design. "If you watch him in the video you will see his front feet don't " toe out...

I wouldn't call this bull a good representation of Trump genetics. If anything I would say its really watered down Trump genetics. Waco can be okay at times , but Sonny is pretty far down on the list of best Trump sons. The Diamond Helena Dottie 12H and the DF Starlet 1K cow families In this...
