Have you had any full Irish cows by 3rd? I've got some embryo's by 3rd out of a Dividend x Castletroy Linda 3rd dtr. Just wondered what they might be like?

Never any (full) Irish, But we had good success using him on his daughters. We had a few 3rd daughters crossed with Duke of Dublin. It was a shame more breeders didn't reproduce the full Irish. We never did own a full Irish cow.
I am looking forward to a flush between the 3rd and a Strawberry cow in Maryland. On paper it will be full Irish + linebred.

One of our donors is a full Irish female named Waymar J&J Strawberry 96. We flushed her to Highfield Irish Mist 3 years ago and got 28 grade 1 embryos. We have flushed her to Duke of Dublin as well as several Shorthorn sires. We have sold embryos from her to 5 countries. We are using an ET son HC Mist's Return 13R ( a son of Irish Mist) in our herd. He has the shortest gestation length we have seen in any Shorthorn bull for a long time, and this has made him an exceptional calving ease sire. We calved 31 heifers to him this spring and never saw a calf born. I even bred his ET full sister to him and she had a very nice red neck roan heifer calf that looks like she will be a keeper for sure. YOu can see him on our website at www.horseshoecreekfarms.com . Strawberry 96 will be flushed again this coming Friday, this time to Wolf Willow Major Leroy.
I also flushed  another of our donors, Shadybrook Presto 73G, to TPS Coronet Leader 21st x this spring and we got 6 grade 1 embryos. I sold 3 to Iowa and implanted 3 myself. At 6 weeks we still have 3 pregnancies, so I have my fingers and toes crossed, hoping that we keep them all.I still have enough Leader 21st for a couple more flushes.

As usual, Red is not afraid to ask the stupid question!
Please explain Irish bloodlines to me. Is is an area where they came from or a certain family?

Thanks so much!
Red

Red, when someone says full Irish they mean that all of it's ancestors derived from cattle or semen  brought over from Ireland. I know they have taken a hard rap lately for the TH issue, but I would I hate to think were we would be without the full Irish cattle. It's hard to find a Shorthorn pedigree without any Irish cattle in it.

Thanks Doc! I really appreciate the great information you & others are providing us about the Shorthorn breed & especially the older genetics. I'm amazed at how much I have learned over the months.

I don't have any Irish Mist embryos at this time. Maybe check with Ron Robarge, Ney, Ohio as he purchased 1/2 interest in this cow, and he has received about 30-40 embryos from her.
