Funny real world is compared to this. Showing is new for me and it's just for my kids far from my real world experance.My operation is commercial angus we dont buy our females we breed them we dont sell our steers as calves we feed and rail them so I can look at this group and say I wouldnt be making a profit with the cost of corn to finish them as they lack top and 1/4. Finally as a bull buyer when a breeder bashes there program and says they dont care publicly it isnt real world. I dont want to buy a bull have somethin go wrong and the breeder tell me he dont care its just a ------  check this users previous posts and say he has real world opions

explain to me, exactly what you are refering to as lower 1/4.  I've been involved with judging teams for many years, and have never heard such a broad meaningless term... Are you talking about lower quarter and stifle, or are you talking about the bottom 1/4 of the skeleton- meaning substance of bone and base width? 

When is sit in on a set of reasons, and someone keeps telling me stuff as broad as this, they lose 10 points right off the bat, cuz I'm scratching my head wondering what they're talking about???

Thats alot of care for someone who has previously stated he didn't they dont have the quality  of those that strike me as clubby and infact your heifers I would have fed out with steers.They are consistent but they are just common cattle lacking beef character

I need to go back and reread, but I'm pretty sure I did not state anything about having any great ones- just 4 legged beast roaming pastures and eating grass.

Is the calf in your avatar the IMG_0322.JPG heifer? If so she really has developed well, deep and broody

yes jamie, that is the same heifer calf...

Cool I thought so

more people need the 'eye'... maybe I shouldn't argue with you as much...  Naw, I think you enjoy it more so than I do

I'm glad you posted some pictures of your cattle , it tells us all about your operation and the advice you give from time to time !

you know, I'm glad you said that...  if you really want to know about me, or our operation, you'd be better off getting on our website and reading up on MY true passion of life... www.kfacres.webs.com  Something, I actually give a damn about making better, and doing something with... The cows are there to do 2 things- eat grass- make calves. 

The cows, are over 200 miles away from me, and have been for 4 (going on 5) years now.  I give a little input as to what bulls to buy semen on, and have 2 steer calves at my place to butcher this spring/ winter.  One for us, the other for the neighbor.  But in the long run, my words go in my parents ears, and through grandpas... and off into the wind...  Most of the time the bull gets turned in regardless of what's in the tank... 

Too bad, I didn't post any pics of anything good- just some skinny ole heifer and bull calves eating grass... 

Take it for what it's worth folks, this kid (me) doesn't know anything about cattle, and doesn't know how to raise a good one... Of course, I guess my opinion on what makes up a good one is different than Mr. DBL J1's, as I hate furballs who eat tons of corn. 

I don't raise little furballs , i don't own any freaky little club calf cows . i own big stout females , such as this  !

big stout MATURE cows-- and little skinny grassfed 12 month olds are two different TOTALLY things.... That's like comparing weiner dogs to hedge apples... 

Don't make me post some old cow pics... O0

hrm thanks?  Although I think your mistaken I actually don't enjoy arguing all that much I just enjoy cattle, learning about them, and when I have something to share (thought or picture) I do so

I bet mom and dad would part with her...  They hate her, for what good she brings to the table- but then again- they like BIG cattle...  I think she's the most different calf we raised this last year, and for that reason I want to keep her..

Honestly, though I have never seen my parents nit pick on a calf like they do on her... "she was a midget when she was born...  I hate her hind legs... what's wrong with her hip, why's it like that....  she's too fat... she's too small...  she's got chicken legs... and on and on...  and the best one... she'll never grow...  "

I keep telling them she'll make the best cow, and is where we need to be headed..

I bet they'd entertain an offer on her though..

BTW, her daddy is for sale...  Grandpa thinks he's bellering and pawing the dirt some.. but I've never seen it...  They have a zero tollerance policy for bulls that rub on bales, flip feeders, and paw the dirt...
