I have not been on in a while and have been ill.  I recently bought a bull from Bushy Park and would like to buy another bull.  I am looking for a Maine Charolais cross bull.  If you know of one that will make show steers in Texas let me know.  He would need to be a registered Mainetainer. ...

Happy Thanksgiving to all! May God's riches blessings flow freely in you and all of your family's life! Thanks for being a blessing to me! Joe Dale Wilson

I have 12 yearling registered Maine Anjou heifers that weigh around 1000 lbs and will be ready to breed in December.  They are either 75 or 87.5%.  One PB is red, one PB is a slightly blue, and the rest are black.  They are open and we will have them checked this week.  Because of our continued...

Did anyone go to Kris Black's bull sale?  If you did could you tell me what #5, 52, & 53 sold for?  Thanks jdw

We are in a very sad drought.  On 68 acres of oats I got 46 small round bales.  I have all my ponds and tanks that are dry and have been for 5 months.  I made 12 bushel's of wheat and none of my neighbors cut theirs or made hay of it, as it was too short.  You cannot mow my pastures as short as...

Since the end of January we have really been tied up.  Dad fell in the shop the last of January.  Prior to that he walked two miles per day.  We went to several doctors because he was having back pain.  Finally, a surgeon operated on him and he had a fast growing tumor in his back that was...

Pharo Philosophies... . Sex is NOT Work for a Bull There is nothing a bull would rather do than breed cows. The reason seedstock producers and veterinarians caution against “overworking” a bull is because most bulls are developed on a hot feedlot ration. Consequently, they lose condition during...

I sold my bull, Senor Rojo, this week.  Last year he was injured in a bull fight.  Another bull tore up a gate and got in with him and he had never damage.  Held his tail high, lost 1/2 of his rear muscles, and walked with his right leg in under him and stiff like.  We had two blizzards and they...

Have you used "Winning Fill" for your show steers or heifers?  At what stage do you use it?  How long do you use it?  Did it work for you?

Has anyone used this bull and raised a good club calf out of him?  I saw some great calves out of him recently.  He is a carrier like his sire, Heat Wave. If you have used him, please tell us what you have seen in his calves.

I am thinking about using the Maine bull, 227544, Pay Off.  Has anyone used him?  Tell me about the calves.  Did they make good grown cows and have longevity?  Did they break down on you? Thanks

I want to tell everyone who might be looking for a bull to use on heifers that we used Gucci, 389047, on heifers and second calf cows and they came small and have grown really well.  We had people come look at the calves and the ones they liked best were out of him and our bull Senior Rojo.  The...

I used a new bull, Gucci.  Every cow and heifer I bred to him calved but one and she will tonight.  All have been bulls except one heifer.  Has anyone else had some calves from him?  The ones we have had came easy with weights between 63 and 78 lbs.  All are black, hardy at birth, hairy, thick...

A few weeks ago I was told of the research at the Texas A & M Experiment Station near Lockett, TX.  One of the young doctors is leading a research program to see if E. Coli is getting into our water through the creeks and rivers from here to Dalhart.  Her research has not found E. Coli near...

I bought Thunderbolt from Mike Morris.  Mike called this Spring and wanted me to collect him.  I did.  His test came back while I was gone and he tested clean for TH and PHA.  I was sure he would because of his bloodlines.  Every bull that we use is clean. I also go some great news from my old...

I spent over a week in Guatemala on a medical mission tour.  I was the chaplain.  I prayed with all before surgery, visited them in recovery, prayed with them thanking the Lord for their successful surgery.  The 2 doctors did 53 surgeries in 4 days.  We went into the bush to visit people who...

We got a little cotton shower finally.  My wheat had turned blue and about two acres had turned brown due to lack of moisture.  I got 3.8 inches of real slow rain.  In Hardeman County where I have heifers and a bull on wheat I got 4.8 inches.  At Quanah some got 8 inches.  South of Vernon they...

I was wondering if any of you have much experience with the size of the pelvis of Sunseeker heifers? Last Saturday, I had to pull two calves from Sunseeker heifers.  They were the largest calves I had ever pulled outside of Holstein calves.  I bent my high dollar puller pole and the handle and...

How many of you got a catalogue from Bushy Park? I would love someone to take the time to explain "Gene-Star" testing and what should a person look for: 1.  For Breeding Show cattle. 2.  For Market Show steers. 3.  For the ranch and feed lot industry. I am 65 years old and believe that such...

A bizarre thing happened Saturday, the Hawes family, who are active Jr. Members of the Texas Maine Anjou Association, lost their suburban in the parking lot to a fire while at the Jr. Maine meeting. They are the family that bred the bull Ice Pick. They are really good people. I think they have...
