The email you got was from Leacfhman Cattle of Colorado. Leachman cattle company that was in Montana is nolonger in business. LCoC is Lee Leachman. RW

The thing that bothers me is that these bulls are targeted at commercial producers and they give up alot of performance in the form of pounds at weaning and pounds at yearling both. Most of my customers either sell at weaning or a few that sell as yearlings. I can't imagine selling them a bull...

Today I saw some data on a pen of sale bulls that really concerned me. In the data were listed frame scores that were in my oppinion too small to be usable. Several of the bulls were 3.25 to 3.75 frame scores, keep in mind that these bulls are not bred to be low lines. I can't help but wonder...

When I look for a new "heifer" bull, the first thing I look at is the pedigree. After about 30 years in the RA breed, I am pretty familiar with the R A gene pool. If I am satisfied with the way the pedigree reads, I look at the animal and the way he is put togather. If that suits me I will look...

I was actually considering filling out the online application for membership, but ......I'm more of a Gibsons man when it comes to whiskey. RW

His herd stayed in business untill his death and many of the genetics are still pretty sought after. This was just one example. Another is a very prominent breeder that the association caught manipulating the contemporary groups and turning in corrupt data. For a while they talked about banning...

In some breeds this may have some truth to it. The high accuracy E.P.D's are the key to manipulating the system, I know people that "control" contemporary groups to build their own sires numbers. Let's face the reality of the system, no one polices it so anyone can turn in about whatever figures...

Truthfully, in todays world E.P.D.'s are too corrupt to put much faith in. They are far too easy to manipulate to have much of any real meaning. They have become marketing tools that some "breeders" ( I use that term loosly) abuse and use to their own benefit. As long as there is money to be...

Bred Red Angus Females for sale We have decided to sell a few bred cows to make room for the heifers that we are retaining. They will be 3 to 6 year old cows, bred to a flushmate to the Canadian Gold Show Female 2010 and will start calving in March. These are the first females we have sold in 5...

CAB - Thanks for making the drive down today. It was great to meet you in person! RW

Calving ease was excellent, 100% unassisted. Birth weights ranged from 72 to 78 pounds. We are very pleased with the job he has done for us. Thanks  SD, look forward to seeing you in Denver.

I got a chance today to roughout a couple of our Walkerton 10W heifer calves that we are taking to Denver. They are both out of first calf heifers, if I posted them right the top heifer is an April and the bottom is a May. They are not "show heifer" fat and look a little shrunk out after being...

While I don't know this Dr Elsden character from Adam, I do know "cowboy" Terry Morris very well. He has exclusively done all of my E T work that I have done in the last few years. It was on steer planet that I first learned of him and began asking him questions. I had previously had a terrible...

Brian will do a good job, the good ones will be at the top when he is done. If you are a friend of his you will have to be quite a bit better to win than if you're not. RW

Personally I think it's B.S. and I'm an american. I just love the way the association makes rules for the show when 90% of the board is anti show to begin with. Most of them are apparently clueless that it is the people that spend their own money (alot of money) dragging cattle up and down the...

LOL! Brent as old and out of shape as I am, I don't hold my breath unless I th9ink there is a chance of me drownding! Give me a shout before you come, my fall sale travel schedule is getting kid of busy.

The Walkerton 10W calves are very good. All came easy at birth ranging from 72 to 78 pounds out of first calf heifers. They will stack up with anything that the mature cows have and we will likely retain all of the heifers sire by him. The calves out of the 922 bull are quite a bit younger and...

I don't buy the listed frame score personally. After working several bull sales from Texas through Canada and seeing several hundred bulls sell in the previous sale season, I am concerned about the direction many R A breeders are headed. I saw ALOT of bulls sell in 2010 - 2011 bull sale season...

If you like bulls that are too straight on the hindwheels and small - use him. RW

My family history in the cattle business dates back to the late 1800's. My great,great grandmother, Mrs. Annie Watson apparently had a highly respected herd of shorthorns in her day. Somewhere around here is a newspaper article from 1874 about her and her herd of shorthorns. Through the...
