I think that Dover, and 329 offer a lot of excellent beef characteristics.  Actually Ralph's entire bull line up is red, polled, deep bodied, and over all useful cattle in a purebred and commercial environment. I've pictured Ralph's bulls and I've also taken the liberty to post his newest...

Every year is different, and depending on what conditions a producer has there may be different variables that affect the production of a cow (a good reason to use performance reporting).  I still think longevity is determined by the age at which a cow is no longer wanted in the herd due to her...

As it is the owner or manager of the herd that determines whether the 12 year old weaning off 500lbs on grass would be considered a productive cow or not, depending on forage, weather, and cow condition. I think longevity is determined by the age at which a cow is no longer wanted in the herd...

Alas it must be true then <beer>

Comparing the lifespan of Bison to cattle is much the same as comparing a Donkey (30-50years)to a Horse (25-30 years).   I was reading this article which I think is highly informative. Beef Cow Longevity by Jane Parish – Extension Beef Cattle Specialist, Mississippi State University The...

I thought this was the funniest thing I have read in a long time.  I Jaimie first daughter of Dan (Okotoks) made my steerplanet introductory post on a thread started by Okotoks about Diamond Prophecy 21P bragging about breeding him, this was August 2010.  When I joined I put myself under the...

There is actually a lot research on cyber bullying that supports that statement

I think that lot 18 is my favorite but there are tons of excellent females

TGCC produced I can assure that the Piper bull was not flat sided.  I am heading to check out the Eionmor bulls in the next week and I will post some pictures of Piper sons.  Piper was never photographed as a mature bull so to compare a 16 month old in July after breeding season to 86G as a...

Since you asked us to I have evaluated him as a yearling bull, in all honesty better care would give a better impression of your program.  The two year old heifer you have posted we have seen as a baby calf, then as a impressive bred, and now she looks terrible after weaning her first calf. ...

I have to agree on the pictures of Piper but he is long hipped and deep flanked and they are July photos with no extra hair. Piper produced some pretty impressive calves. His heifers which are deep, thick, with beautiful heads.  The bulls last year stood out by a lot, with style, thickness, as...

How old is this calf?

I will start  with my favorite females, starting with rising 3-year olds, the Prophecy's all did a tremendous job on their first calves last year and bred back right away.  My two favorites (only because they are mine ;)) of this age group are Diamond Xotic Candy 25X has a very good heifer in...

Congratulations to AJ he just won the champion Shorthorn plus bull (red).  Also pictured is the Reserve champion (blue)

I really like 1 and 8

I am really pleased with the Prophecy daughters and most of my females who are 3 and under are sired by Prophecy.  I could go on for hours about each of these females and why I am so pleased, when I have some time tomorrow I will list my favorites by age.  Of course in our household we each have...

I really like the Studer bull.  I searched 704's daughters and a lot are in production hopefully someone can give you more solid information about udders, structure and fleshing.
