    Need Suggestions Roan or white THICK CE heifer bull Cannot be DS or PHA

    JSF Ronan has sired really good calves for us. Ronan's calves have all been unassisted here. We have used him on heifers for the first time for fall 2024 calves and believe in his calving ease, partly because of his Outlaw dam--that bloodline has flat shoulders, designed for ease of calving...

    how long for AI cows to be over Due?

    Some bulls sire calves that stay in the cow longer (such as Dividend, Shorthorn bull). One AI calf was 3 weeks late back when extreme growth was the top priority. Even though we select for cows that have a large pelvis and seldom pull a calf, we changed to bulls that sire shorter gestation...

    2023 herdsires

    Go to Homeplace Farms on youtube. HHC 1625, a red bull, is the one you are looking for. In the 2:20 video of HHC 1625, Martindell Tradition 1120 is the photobomber across the fence from the old bull, mostly in the last minute of the video. 1120 has developed very well and is running with the...

    Spooky heifer?

    Your heifer may deserve a second chance? Our heifer group sometimes has been startled by tom cat fights and possibly racoons. We have coyotes, foxes, and other things that run nearby during the night and/or make terrifying noises. Someone who sometimes feeds them suggested that "something had...

    2023 Calves

    That's a great photo of contentment! Other than the snow, the calves' bedding looks good enough for their herdsman to take a nap. I wish my late grandpa and dad were alive to tell us what it was like sleeping, when they were "riding the rail" with their Shorthorn show herd.

    Brisket skin help! New here yeah I’m aware this site has kinda died down

    Go to a show where a real-world person is judging?  For decades the breeders west of the Mississippi (even Iowa) have wanted some brisket on their cattle since a little brisket is necessary for hardiness.  One well-known breeder even joked that those without a brisket get sick even if a cloud...

    What is favorite bull brought to your attention thanks to SP?

    I learned about Rob Sneed (RS) on this forum.  Sneed combined genetics that worked very well in the pasture and the feedlot.  We used the RS "034" bull--have a look at this daughter, her performance awards (5?) and also 034 himself (maybe 7?): 4078267 Fair Lady 0811 at one time had 4 daughters...

    What is favorite bull brought to your attention thanks to SP?

    Our Weston Goliath herd sire was by a Bert Hanson, Shadybrook bull.  Goliath had a larger frame when the big move was getting started.  Gary Kaper got some semen on Goliath, because he greatly admired an Albert Hultine bull back in the pedigree, either (maybe both) King Collynie or King Collynie...
