    Shorthorn/Shorthorn + Bull Recommendations

    Hello again. I'm looking for bull recommendations once again. I've got a complete hodgepodge, Angus X, Simmental X, Shorthorn X, and more. Shorthorns have always been a favorite breed and if we do some AI some this spring/summer that's the route I'm looking to go. Now I've got some cows that are...

    Cow Doesn’t Seem to Have Much Milk- Help?

    I’ve got a Angus X cow that just calved yesterday and had a nice little red heifer. But she doesn’t seem to have much milk at all. She had her first calf in March 2019 and failed to breed back. Decided to keep her and turned her out last spring and she bred right back. When she had the first...

    Clubby Bred Heifers/Cows- Good Mamas?

    I am currently thinking of purchasing a clubby heifer. But I’m worried about her being a good cow as well as calving problems. I wouldn’t say that she’s built overly clubby. Heifer is Loaded 4 Bear x Front & Center. Beautiful heifer and I’d love to have her, but nervous as far as her being a...

    Shorthorn Bulls to Use on Angus Heifers?

    I'm planning on buying some commercial Angus (They will be pretty much purebred) heifers this fall and am looking for a Shorthorn bull to AI them to in April-May 2020. The heifers were born in January/February 2019. I'm looking for a bull with good bone and structure, that doesn't lack in growth...
