Here are some pictures of DMH Minn Max Leader ET, taken in Beebe's pasture last summer

Don't know...I kept getting internal error messages when I tried to post. Finally broke the post up into shorter pieces and it went through. But, it really wasn't that much of a novel I had written, compared to some, sondont know what went wrong. SP can be glitchy.

Minn Max Leader, dam and sire. I'll try to get a recent photo soon. Also, when I was at beebe's, he had the nicest Blue Greys I've ever seen...going to a roan Native Shorthorn by one of his Galloway Synthetic bulls.

I'll try to get a picture of Minn Max Leader so you can see the masculine phenotype that is consistently producing females with wide hips, big barrels and good udders, 1100-1300 lb range and feminine appearance. I will say that his sire, Cruachan Leader 551, (Max, dam and sire pictured) is not a...

Someone was importing Whitebred semen a while back, but I don't think it went anywhere. There is a Galloway breeder in Colorado who has a couple Blue Grey cows from Whitebred semen and I always wanted to try to get a 3/4 Galloway 1/4 Whitebred calf from him. But, honestly, I think it's just an...

Test...getting error notices

...if I had the ways and means, I would get as many CCL6th derived females from redbulls at YY as I could and AI them to that Snowflake bull...or better yet have the Snowflake bull do natural service- (for epigenetic reasons) Then I might have a herd of roans that were just right for my purpose.

Mark, #7 is a Blue Grey. I think using a light roan instead of a white Shorthorn would beget more blue. Black calf is the Minn Max Leader son from South Dakota. Minn Max Leader is the MGS of the Red Bull. Dam of Minn Max Leader was Maid of Promise 189th...dam of Maverick ( sire Ball Dee Perfect...

Yes, I should call ASA and have them change that. I haven't because I thought they might charge me or something. I guess DMH registers them at birth before the horns are apparent, but it's misleading info, for sure. I believe- but could be mistaken in what I remember- that his dam wis dehorned...

Slow and steady, he's coming along..that hay in the photo is all he's getting..but as much as he wants...same as the cows. I looked his dam over pretty good. She was a beautiful short wide roan with tremendous hip and a nice udder. I'm betting that will carry through from the MGS of this bull-...

I enjoy watching him grow

Doing pretty good on prairie hay.

A Lincoln Red, circa ?

I think the LR easy keeping reputation is valid. The bull has steadily gained weight since getting kicked off a diet of sweet feed and alfalpha two weeks ago and turned out on pretty exhausted grass. I expected him to go backwards, but not so. http://www.lincolnred.org/breed-history.html

Some commercial cattle, certainly, are genetically purer than some registered purebreds....but crossbred cattle are impure by definition. One may say a crossbreed individual is more true to purpose or type than a purebred individual...but that is just weighted recombination. Or, so I think...

I'm still working on Galloway Shorthorn crosses. Thanks for the research help. I'm going to use this bull next year, x4253260. 50% Lincoln Red 50% Native, along with a real beefy Galloway Synthetic Minn Max son.

E3, yes attempting to breed black Shorthorns is antithetical to Shorthorn breeding. No argument there. In this thought experiment, of course I would not even use Angus to make them black...I would use a superior black polled British breed! Let's not even go there about Pharo...as you say, they...

Xbar said...Now I'll never begrudge a man for doing a little drinking in the evenings but your post was made way too late in the morning to still be hitting the bottle!? What in the world are you talking about?  Kit Pharo is purebred Angus breeder who, as a marketeer, has also recognized there's...
