We had plans to head down but with a death in the family weren't able to. Any results that can be passed along? Overall feel of the sale. TIA

As for Angus most will tell you Northern Improvement but I have personally never used him. You can probably pick any of the OCC bulls that you like an they will do all the things you are asking for. I think I personally would used either Legend or Prototype. Legend daughters aren't great cows...

Pfred is a calving ease deal from ABS he is known of making teets that are a little bigger than most would like I assume Basin Max is Basin Max 602C if so he is a very maternal bull that will give you guts and easy fleshing replacements Plowman was more of a carcass bull, he made some nice...

Okotoks I will have to agree that culling has to take place but it has take place with both the bulls and heifers. I will disagree however and say that only 25% of both the heifers and bulls should be kept. My own personal opinion on keeping bulls intact is that I have to believe that he can be...

AJ I think you just nailed it. To me what you just illustrated has been my whole point all along. According to the ASA the average SH herd in the US is 13 head not enough to even get good proof on a bull in its useful lifetime if you only used him naturally. I think there are too many breeders...

Your kidding right JIT??? Please tell me you are! IF you truly think that you can market SULL cattle as any other than great show ring cattle then you are more delirious than I had previously though. Johns cattle will perform in the show ring and I don't believe that anyone will argue that fact...

I think one thing that has been forgotten is that if you are selling feeder cattle that are colored up they automatically DON'T qualify for some of the branded beef programs based on visual appearance. Now I have been on both sides of this deal with red and white cattle that were better than the...

JTM I posted because I have gotten tired of getting the same opinion from almost every Shorthorn breeder that I have talked to about cattle that will perform on pasture without supplementation, calve every 365 days and wean a minimum of 50% their body weight in calf without a creep feeder...

Trev Thanks for the names, Sue and I had a very nice conversation last night and I look forward to being able to have an open dialog with others as I have had with her.

SJ When talking about the shorthorn breed specifically I would have to completely agree with what you have said. I believe that you and I would agree on more things than we would disagree. I will make this on general comment however, I had a college professor that was asked to buy a fella a...

AJ I completely agree with what you are saying. Added wean weights are not benificial if the cost of those pounds is greater than the return for producing them. I think it has been cussed and discussed before that there is an optimum for your specific environment and I am trying to achieve what...

Thanks Aussie for the welcome. Now please don't confuse me for the lover of big framed cattle, I don't believe there is much use for any cattle over about a 6.5 frame in my environment nor do I think that 5.0 frame cattle are incredibly useful in our environment either.

SJ I agree that a person really needs to do their homework when looking for their next herd bull. I like to look at the whole cowherd not just the individual. If the cowherd is consistent I believe it is a good tell if the producer made the right decisions when it came time to cull cows or not...

The question by Ag Teacher along with the responses got me wondering about shorthorn bulls. Where does a person go to find shorthorn bulls to use on a commercial herd if he were so inclined? These bulls would have to have BW, WW, YW, Scan, data. As well they would have to be defect free, solid...

I would steer him. I would choose that option based on several things, birth wt is too high for the average commercial guy which only leaves the PB guys to market to. Birth date is really too young to be useful next breeding season unless you are wanting to use him late in the summer or for a...

RW-what did lots 67 and 73 bring? How did they look out there? We liked the pedigress and pictures but weren't able to make it to the sale. Thanks!

I am looking at some RA bulls and don't know much about the pedigrees or breeding. Can you help identify some calving ease bulls that are also very maternal and easy keeping? I am thinking of using them on some shorty cows to make them easier keeping, lower birth with better udders. Thanks for...

I don't want to hyjack this post but will these same bulls work as well when used on Angus or Angus based cows? If not who would you suggest to use? I guess we are just wanting to make some baldy females for F1's and very saleable steers.
