Anyone have conformation critique on this bull calf? Contemplating selling him at our beef expo. Purebred Angus, Registration number 18498115 if anyone wants to take a look at his EPD's. Sired by Tour of Duty out of a Dixie Erica cow. He is a late February calf.

I've read many past threads but I'm curious what people are using today as their base animals. I have purebred Angus, was planning to breed to another purebred (sim, maine, shorthorn, etc) to make halfbloods which would then be bred clubby. Anyone have recommendations? Have a few straws of Chill...

I have a Dixie Erica X Tour of Duty bull calf who is looking pretty good. He was born twin to a heifer. Heifer didn't make it, found her too late. So trying to decide if he is worth raising as a bull and selling him at the local beef expo. Have a full sib heifer from last year who is pretty...

Looking to buy a package of Angus embryos. Must be purebred Angus. Not interested in other breeds at this time. The goal for them is to make high quality show animals. Sexed heifer preferred but not required. Anyone have anything to sell? We are on a budget so will not be able to spend $1000+...

Wanted to share this website with you guys. Cool idea!! People create an account and can "review" bulls, post offspring photos, etc to help people make more educated breeding decisions. No idea how old the website is but would love for some of the experienced breeders to share their knowledge on...

Just curious if anyone has any on the ground yet? He seemed really popular. Expecting 2 calves from him in about two weeks.

Trying to make some breeding decisions for this year. $EN is a trait I want to know more about. Most of the cattle we have are above average on that number. One is in top 10%. However I am wondering how this number is calculated. The majority of the cattle that have a good $EN seem to either be...

I've done a lot of research on them including look at old posts here. But I still have some questions. Our only internet access is a Verizon MiFi. We pay by the gigabyte so less used is definitely better!! We are looking for a camera system that can be run to the house and connected through a...

Just saw in a sale footnote that a producer is retaining two flushes and the rights to all cell lines and was curious what exactly it means? Does that mean I can't clone her or any of her offspring? What exactly does it prohibit? TIA!!

3 Feed questions: We are presently feeding the 1/3 1/3 1/3 blend to a market heifer and steer, and a breeding heifer. I am concerned it does not have enough protein? They are going to be in a late august fair. Weighing 500-700 lbs now. Anyone used either Revolution or Guts and Glory? I was...

Hello everyone! So my family is for the first time keeping one of our own calves to feed out as a steer. That being said we don't usually feed them out this way. I am looking for advise on how to properly get him to steer weight without over finishing him. He is going to be shown as a beef...

This is a home grown 5 month old PB Angus Bull (soon to be steer) calf that we were looking for opinions on. He will be shown at the county fair as a beef feeder and either sold or kept to raise as a market steer. What do you guys think of him? Located in NW Ohio.

How long should Concept Aid be fed to take an effect before breeding? We have had conception problems in the past so just ordered in a bag. Thanks!

So I am coming up to my last three years of showing and it has been my goal to place Grand or Reserve at our county fair. I am starting to look for calves to make that happen. I will not have a ton to spend. Looking for a crossbred and a purebred. Usually at our county fair the top 3-4 steers...

Anyone seen offspring of this bull? Like his numbers a lot (with the exception of marbling and $EN) being a -1.1 BW to a +153 YW. Though he was pretty good phenotypically to. Anyone have any opinions good or bad on him? Thanks!! http://abs-bs.absglobal.com/beef/angus.asp?CodTouro=237AN2394

Just curious we are presently working on picking bulls for our angus cattle. What EPD’s do you believe are the most important? Our farm does a little bit of everything doing a cow/calf operation to feeding out steers. So what should we be looking for in a bull? And what is considered too much...

So we have a first calf heifer (bred to a calving ease Simmental bull) who has been in labor for a while now. Have seen the calves feet for about an hour and forty minutes. It hasen't progressed since that point. When should we be concerned? The cow is wild so dad doesn't want to mess with her...

We have a PB Angus heifer with a pedigree we really like (Dixie Erica lines). However she has stayed very small framed and we are looking to add growth and size so the calves would be worth keeping. The heifer is currently bred to a Simmental bull but we would like to AI her after this calf. For...

Unfortunately didn't get the heifer we wanted bought at our fair sale. So I am looking for a powerful market heifer prospect for a 2014 county fair. Breed isn't too important. Price $2,000 or under, less is better. Will buy young, green calves. Still want this heifer's structure to be suitable...

I have a shorthorn steer that I want to get the hide tanned from. However the local place we used to tan a deer hide didn't do as good of a job as we would have liked. The hair would shed everywhere. Does anyone have a place they recommend for tanning hides?(I am located in Ohio but would shop...
