    cattle on the hot seat

    The Great Reset is a huge corporate land grab. Whoever controls the food and water controls the population. A rancher can go broke or take the payoff and move to one of the Population Center Designated Territories. “ Another set of policy measures that would stimulate more resource-efficient...

    Head shape calves from 1950’s version shorthorn bulls?

    I bought the 1952 Shorthorn World that knabe shared info on. I finally got to looking at it and it was kind of a disturbing moment looking at the photos. I used to think this type animal was what would work in grass finishing- they are bred for early maturing baby beef which is what most grass...

    dutch belted

    Something that is interesting to me is how many of the old roan bulls show a vestigial belt pattern. Once you see it, you can’t un-see it. As I understand it, from work on mice, belted, roan and lineback patterns are all determined by (dis)regulation of KIT expression during melanocyte...

    Native Influenced calves

    And just an update on DMH Felix, the full Native Weston Resource Cat 20 mix. A short, wide, 2 year old that gets nothing but swamp grass and prairie hay. Very mild disposition, which may be the secret to his efficient metabolism.

    Native Influenced calves

    Day old twin bull calves sired by YY Glasgow. The dam, Fairview Marys Dream, is by DMH Minn Max Leader ( Cruachan Max Leader on Haumont) out of the full sister of CCL6th (a Leader 6th son). The YY sire of the calves shows some real multi generational deliberate breeding. I love to see animals...

    Clover Leaf Farm

    Something that I stumbled on. The photo is probably circa 1920-1930, The frame size says a lot about what Shorthorns really were, Perhaps this is the Good Choice (by Choice Goods?) son mentioned on the Tracy business card. “ John Wesley Tracy, 1868-1931, Nebraska Pioneer, was an enterprising...

    linebreeding Black Angus

    Scott was there and I learned many new things about old bloodlines-. An unexpected bonus was getting to see three Luing bulls from Canada that were stopping over in the barn on their way elsewhere. The Angus Breeders were amused that I spent more time in the barn with the Luing bulls than...

    Thank you for your insight. Was this mostly hard back fat, or soft fat like in brisket?

    RETNUH

    Wow, thanks for posting the Milking Shorthorn Journal  pictures. Those 1960 Milking Shorthorns were truly beautiful cows. I get more inquiries from people looking for old style Milking Shorthorns than old style beef Shorthorns. Now I understand why. Was 1960 about the time these disappeared or...

    Thanks for the heads up, knabe. Better investment than the six pack of Shiner Bock I might have bought to sooth my chronic Anachronism.

    Myostatin gene

    If one could consider the kind of study I do education, then an educated guess would be that the end game of these mutations is a metabolic, adrenal and melanistic adjustment to the rigors of life as a tool of medieval peasants. From A List of Foods of Medieval Times:” The majority of peasants...
