I have some I need to test, where are good places to have test them??? Also What all is involved to do, just send blood samples?

I have 2 sunseeker heifers that calved this year. One had a Hooks Shear force 38k bull calf and the other had a bull calf out of my mo better son. I have not had them measured. The first I pulled the shear force calf but she had plenty of room compaired to other heifers i have pulled calves out...

We used ground ear corn in our full feed for feeders for years, just hard to find closeby anymore. Made some of the best feed out there. I would not use it for creep as far as straight ground. You could but you would not want very much per load. Just depends on how you feed, 100 different good...

Glad to hear the MO Betters are making cows right now I have 20+ heifers on the ground, and only 7 bulls. Only have 3 bull calves out of my bull others are AI calves. All the heifers look like they are going to make cows. My calves out of angus based cows look good, the Meyer 734 based cows and...

CRI or genex does a lot around the midwest. I took the class in Ames IA at an ISU farm, spent 80-90 % of the time actually practicing breeding on market heifers and old cows.

Walks alone at stud last year looked good. I am wanting to go see him now. I like to see bulls at 2 yrs or older before I make a decision if they are great for me or not. Its nice to see what is really under all that hair when they are 2 or 3 year olds. Last year I was not sure if he had the...

Hey heatwave pics look great to me, i can take all the pics you want of my bulls. But you can come look at every one of my calves and cows anytime and take a look. I will pay your way to and from if you see anything that is in poor shape. Otherwise you pay the bill.

I bred to Hooks shearforce last year. WMW/angus/simm heifer had a great heifer calf unassisted about 70lbs. Ali/Angus/Simm heifer had a tiny heifer calf prob 60-65lbs unassited. Sunseeker/Simm had a big bull calf pulled prob 85-90lbs, once I got the head passed the rest came easy. The Dam to...

I was at Hawkeye where they collect, most of the lautner bulls are always there or in the pasture right beside the barn. And even when heatwave has been there at pasture there was always a heatwave pen. Same with Who Made Who, and his sign was gone as well.  I didnt ask anyone where they were...

I have not seen a sign for him on a pen or him in a pen the past couple years I have been to hawkeye.

My Mo betters are pretty good up front, but they would be out of the mo better son I have that is pretty clean up front. Even the cows that are sloppy the calves are pretty clean fronted.

I have also been a fan of wheatland bulls after seeing some at some sales. I have not had any calves but been thinking of trying a couple cows.

I saw heatwave at Hawkeye 2 or 3 years ago and that pic is deff him. WMW did not look much better the same day. Neither one could barely walk. Those bulls were too good for their own good, they would have been hauled off to market and put out of their misery many years ago if they were on a...

I am also not a Dream on fan, I have seen some really good ones, but some have some ugly heads and necks to them. With the right cows I think they are great. So I bought a Baldie purebred Mo Better Son for a heard bull last year. Been using angus bulls for past 4 years and needed to get back...

Sorry my calves all come first part of march so usually 2-4 months old.

I really like my Hooks shear force 38K calves out of my heifers this year. Don't have any heifers with dream on or fortunate sone in their backrounds though. Most of mine go back to angus and Meyer 734. They have all calved unassisted except one sunseeker heifer I had to pull a bull out of...

we usually do during spring vacc and implant them, if you wait too long some will start getting bull necked. I have waited until early fall and done at that time also and been ok.

4 out of the 5 I bred this year have no issues, all good thick calves and sound. I have not heard any issues with structure either.

Pulled my shear force bull out of my thicker sunseeker heifer at 3am today. The dam to this heifer is prob 75 % simm.  First shear force calf I have pulled and he is a proven calving ease so I would deff not breed to grizzly. Calf was and easy pull but I don't think she could have passed the...

Saw some smooth sailing calves a few years ago at a sale. They were the best if not 2nd best calves next to my turn calves at the sale. I was going to use him but at the sale I also learned the smooth sailings were very hit or miss on temperment. They were either really good or really bad. I...
