I found them a ride.   

Found this article interesting, & even though it's focus is more about dairy, I wanted to share a link to the story... http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/20110630_usda-finds-in-favor-of-grass-fed-cows

Last year, I wasn't able to pull the bull in one of my herds due to space restrictions.  That herd had 14 spring calvers.  Out of those 14, 9 have already calved so far this year.  2 of them calved around 60 days earlier than last year & 7 have calved about 30 days earlier than last year.  7 of...

Double 1/2 blood Lowline heifer which should increase her consistency.  Her sire is a full brother to the 2008 National Champion Bull & her dam is from Rocking J Ranch (Jerry Adamson - Nebraska) genetics.  She is an extremely docile heifer that we purchased as a pair at the side of her dam.  ...

Bull & heifer.  Both under 1,000 lbs.  Need to go sometime this spring.  If interested please PM.  Thanks, TJ 

Note: I took these pictures in a hurry yesterday afternoon, so they are not the best.  Never been clipped, brushed, blown, etc.  What you see is what you get.  I will try to get better pics soon.   Super docile Fullblood Lowline Heifer with a unique comination of beiong long sided & extremely...

My sister is running for county clerk & I just put together a website for her.  She just went public with it this morning, but before too many view it, I wanted to get some critical feedback, whether good or bad.  She's attempting to come up with some more pics to use as possible replacements or...

I said that I would give a report if I ever sold any more Lowline steers at a sale barn... FWIW, last week, I let my dad sell 3 Lowline sired steers at a local sale barn.  The sale facility is about 1.25 - 1.5 hours away & they had a big run.  The 3 calves averaged right around 8 months of...

Wow, a distant relative of mine just won 4th Runner Up Miss America, as Miss Kentucky.  My grandmother & her grandmother were 1st cousins.  Her aunt was a classmate of mine & two of her uncles were my wrestling coaches in HS.  At least somebody several branches over in my family tree received...

These pics aren't the best, he's in his working clothes (no clippers or grooming) & he's on a high roughage diet, but does this young, extremely low birth weight Shorthorn Plus bull have any potential?  He's a fall 08 with a 54 lb. birth weight (My memory is obviously not as crisp as it once...

I've got a Lowline X Shorthorn X Angus female that I am considering flushing.  She's a Sin City granddaughter.  IMHO, she's got plenty of length, even if she doesn't look like it in the pic below & she's got more extension than the pic shows too (her head is turned).  She's got good hair.  She...

Just letting everybody know that we are having our 2nd Lowline Show at the NAILE in Louisville, KY on Nov. 19 @ 11 AM.  We have 105 head entered which should make this show the 2nd largest Lowline Show in the USA!   Also, we are having our 1st ever NAILE Lowline Sale in New Market Hall on Nov...

Very similar post to Zach's, but I decided to start a new thread just to make sure that people knew that I was asking some different questions. If you are selling a flush how would you recommend doing it?  I assume that the buyer usually pays for the semen (I know not always) & flush expenses? ...

I haven't posted any pics in a while & I was curious what people thought of this fullblood Lowline heifer calf that I own.  I sometimes get barn blind when looking at my own cattle, so just curious to hear thoughts & opinions about her strengths & flaws.  I'm thinking about getting her in the...

I personally am not worried about "cattle emissions", however, many in this country are.  FWIW, the linked article is positive towards forage/flax & negative towards corn & soy.  The people in the article claim that they have reduced "cow belches" by 13% & another herd has been reduced by 18%. ...

Is IVF safe for virgin heifers?  From what I understand it's different than a super ovulated flush, but I don't want to goof one up.  Opinions...

What are some of the best Hereford bulls for making clubbies?  Don't have to be Hereford necessarily, just need to look like one.  I know that there are some really good ones running around, I just haven't kept up with them.  Any suggestions? 

A customer friend of mine has this registered purebred Lowline cow for sale.  I am the breeder & she is out of my 1st Lowline bull, SC Rufus.  She's also bred to my current herdsire, Doc Holliday.  This cow line is extremely fertile & has produced a lot of good, stout calves.  Her dam has been...

I sold a fullblood Lowline cow, that was bred to Doc Holliday, to a customer of mine & below is the resulting calf at weaning.  I think that she is an Oct 08 baby.  She's not perfect, but she should look pretty decent clipped up & she seems to have some size for a young fullblood.   Some Doc...

Got an email from a trucker (Zeigler Livestock Transport) & they have some extra room open for a trip tomorrow (4/15).  They will be leaving tomorrow from Michigan & heading to Ohio to Indiana to Illinois to Wisconsin to Minnesota to Iowa.  If anyone needs something hauled, give them a call at...
