No creep feeders here. I manage the cattle here and it’s a strictly organic, grass fed operation. I can’t speak to Stampede but I can say for a fact the saskvalley cattle work great in a cross breeding scenario here. On all kinds of crossbred cows. 

Glad to see some folks appreciate a commercial type shorthorn. These Canadian cattle still have the ability to thrive in that sector. They really do well here in Ohio and the crossbred calves out of the angus and commercial cows really grow and look good doing it. Thanks for the comments and...

Nice. I had no idea you had a granddaughter. Alamo’s EPD’s put him top 4% of every dollar index. I think he’s a useful bull and semi proven now. Cody Nelson is getting him collected soon so semen will hopefully be available to anyone who wants to sample him. I have four or five calves that will...

Got any more pics of that bottom bull?

https://youtu.be/rWsdl8NMyP4 Bull calf is E6 Big Iron. He will be weaned and registered this month. Born last March. 84 pound BW. Defect free by pedigree. Saskvalley Alamo x Leveldale Righteous x Alliance 7125 https://youtu.be/8d1Q1GzKioI Heifer is E6 Silvia. Saskvalley Alamo x Saskvalley...

Where would you like me to start with bulls I thought were going to be game changers and just turned out mediocre or worse. I put two yearling bulls in this year to help clean up the commercial cows and the one I really really liked got his ass kicked and limped around the rest of the summer. I...

A lot of the bigger headed cattle have Byland Goldspear somewhere in the woodpile. I also think the SBR Tsunami cattle are about the best headed I’ve seen. Saskvalley Alamo puts an excellent head on his offspring as well.

In my opinion Quinton Keernan has about as competitive a group of calves in moderate price ranges as anyone I know. He’s in western Ohio. Durbin Cattle Co I believe is the farm name. Justin Olson in Illinois would also be an excellent source to make friends with. His cattle are top notch. ...

Good point. I sure didn’t. I don’t even know who did.

Star Lake is the ranch our dear leader ran into the ground before the ASA members chose him.

I sure like the looks of the Spickler bulls. The video of Chisum was pretty awesome. Seemed calm with people around. We’ve got enough chute rattlers here already. That’s why we cross them on shorthorns. A Net Worth X Whitlock should have some power and muscle to him. Nice calf and cow. Some of...

I use to breed cows for folks. One farm in particular had a bunch of heat seeker cows. They were insane. I don’t get nervous around cattle but those things were like Satan himself. The farmer would leave the cow or cows that needed bred in a pen and I had to do the rest. I didn’t get paid enough...

Optimum cow size is like asking people who’s better Jordan or LeBron. You’ll get all sorts of opinions. I think the reality is you get your cows small enough but not too small to raise whopper calves on your available forage. It’s a dance. A 1300-1500 pound cow in Ohio will roll on with some hay...

That’s terrible picture to try and evaluate. I thought the pic I posted was bad. I sent DNA in on the town bull. Defect free. He had DS up close in his pedigree. It’s good to know where you stand. Line breeding use to be the way to find genetic defects. Now we have a quicker way.

Here is the roan Alamo son I pulled from the Ohio beef expo when the covid went down. He will see cows here instead. Just a yearling but too 5% in all EPD’s. I’ll offer him up against any yearling bull walking.

Oh shut up with that. Breed one better then. Lovings is a top notch place but so are many others. You bitch about the breed non stop. I think everyone has made their point here and all are valid. Let’s move on. Lots of good cattle being bred up these days. It would be a damn shame if the...

Excellent calves!

Appreciate that you noticed Mark. As far as what bull to use on those cows, how’d the Envied calves turn out from those matings? I love that bull. Bar N Ripper would be a bull to consider on those cows. Way underrated bull. I like the Kane Nitro bull from what I’ve seen on the internet.

But environment. We all raise them in a different one. I left the calves on the cows until just now. April/ May calves. My roan bulled weighed 750 today when we walked him across the scale. Is that a testament to his growth or my ability to provide enough fresh forage each day to maximize his...

Thank you. I sure hope so. Plan is to sell him at Ohio Beef Expo. Getting paperwork done today
