    Emulous Master 209

    Actually, Im trying to learn about this bull, Emulous Master 209, a 7/8 brother  to Ankonian Dynamo. If anyone can comment about females of this meat sire line, I would appreciate  the insight. http://faithvalleyfarm.com/phocadownload/Cow_Line/Emulous%20Sire%20Line%207000%20added.pdf

    oakview, you show instant perception of something the Angus devotees of this strain refuse to consider. A couple of rich Americans went to Ireland to source authentic Angus genetics and come back with cows bred to this bull that looks for all the world like a Galloway cross. I call him Prince...

    Here was a USA antidote to midget cattle from 1965. I heard they called Bonanza of Wye the bull that turned Montana black. My pedigree research on the DM version of myostatin condition in Angus indicates his maternal grand sire, Geordus, was a carrier. No DNA test to back that up, however and...

    Thanks for posting this. My Cat 30 bull seems destined to mature into a very similar type.  Did this type get sloppy fat?

    Piedmontese cattle, Aurochs Zebu cross

    Thank you, those are very useful links. From the first one, "African taurine genetic background is commonly observed among European Mediterranean breeds. The absence of indicine introgression within most European taurine breeds, but presence within three Italian breeds is consistent with at...

    white heifer disease

    I was studying this KIT gene regulation in breeds that express color sided or lineback pigment patterns. When I read about the gonadal hypoplasia predominantly in white males, it rang a bell with white heifer disease. I wonder if this is the science behind the old shorthorn breeder practice of...

    Thanks, Duncraggon. I’m going to sell the Cat 20 bull now that I have the Haumont bull. I can keep those Leader genetics going thru his half sister. Felix is about as grassy as a Shorthorn can be. Since I cross a lot on Galloway for Grassfed, I just don’t need that much moderation from the...

    Domestication and Genome Evolution

    And why is this website so infuriatingly clunky to use. One must remain stubbornly persistent to attempt to converse with old friends on distant hilltops or remote valleys. I know the technology for fast and easy transmission of information is far beyond what we are rolling along with here, like...

    Domestication and Genome Evolution

    To hopster, yes. In these times of mega dairies owned by investors from abroad, silage piles rising like from the South Dakota prairie like landfill mountains, and beef sires being genotyped for optimal cross breeding traits to re-dual purpose the robot managed milk cows...one cannot wonder...
