I also originally liked the 109. But in posting these pics realized half of the calves I picked were actually heifers. Haha. Should have paid more attention.

Thanks. :) I will def repost them as soon as I get to a comp. the first two in the album and the third in the album is another pic of #159. I was partial to 159 because he seems to have more style but lacks some power. There is another steer that I didnt get to see yet that I'm told is pretty...

Ya. They're Char on simangus cows. Difficult choice.

Hey, It's been a while since I posted. No cows for me yet. That will be a graduation gift. Been so busy with upper-level courses in university. Meanwhile, we went to go look at steers. I showed a pic to my younger brother who I was able to convince to get one this year, so another trip for a...

I once saw a youtube vid where the steer had glitter on him.

The white font for the mouseover on the white background isn't the best idea. I can picture some #notasknowledgableabouttechnology folks having a hard time with that. Otherwise, I like the site. :)....esp the colours.

It was not an easy game to sit through. Bringing it home in game 5 though! :D

Been a bit busy lately, but thought I would post a quick update. This steer is ~1100 #. This is the most weight and fat we have been able to put on a Purebred Limi up til now...so we are happy. :) Not a special pic. Didn't have the camera with me. Next time, I will be sure to take a camera and...

Well, fertility is a function of several factors - health, nutrition, management, soundness etc. Heterosis is literally a condition of having different genes. If the genes you introduce improve the factors of fertility, then it is possible to increase fertility. If the introduced genes worsen...

Interesting responses. I thought there might have been more accurate responses given the history of domestication of livestock and the extent to which both methods of selection are used in the cattle industry and even more so in the show cattle industry. Inbreeding: A systematic program of...

This is the first bull I can call my own. :D

A couple of staples in Canadian Limo Pedigrees are Top Meadow Farms: http://www.topmeadowfarms.com/bulls.cfm Ivy livestock: http://ivylivestock.com/ Highland Stock Farms has some cool looking animals: http://www.highlandstockfarms.com/showresult.htm Cottage Lake Limousin are ( I believe)...

Thanks. I realised there was no turning back after 10 years in 4-H. lol.

Pretty simple life goal: Own myself some cattle some day. Although there was no specific order to the steps, step one is complete. I purchased myself a bull today :D: (Photo courtesy of hivalleylimo.com) Hi-Valley Dynamite 31W: BW: 71 lbs WW: 775 lbs YW: 1240 lbs Granddam(Ivy's Princess)...

Wulfs has awesome animals. They are having their Opportunity Sale coming up March 25th. Check out SL Bulletproof from Straights Limousin. He's thick topped, big footed and has a tonne of hair. Also check out MAGS Usual Suspect from Magness Cattle. He's a half brother to Bulletproof. He's got a...

Found this trick out by accident last yr when I went straight from sheep show to steer show and had the brush still in my back pocket. They pull up and fluff hair like nothing else. I've found it especially helpful training legs. Stiffer bristles work better... Just like sheep and dogs. I found...

We usually get one or two at our local show. Of the 5 that I recall being shown, all 4 steers and 1 heifer took first in their classes. This one was 2 years ago. 1st place in the smallest weight class. This one was the year before and took Grand Champion. It was like running your hands over...

Just came back from holiday home visit. Brought the camera down to the barn...there was a warm spell, the snow melted and now they are a bit muddy. This one came down with a case of ringworm...not pretty. This guy thinks he already won: Have only managed to get them up to 16 lbs of...

Going to be showing bulls and a heifer for the first time in the upcoming season. I'm wondering if there is anything you do when fitting steers that you wouldn't do when fitting a bull or vice versa? How about with Heifers?

ahhhh!!! That would be really annoying.
