Where did you  find that picture of that maine bull? He doesnt look like a freak, he has symmetry, hes just HUGE. And the bull in the background behind him looks like hes right there too! COuld you just imagine him getting out with a batch of heifers? Good gravy. I saw a chianina bull named...

where would you send hair samples to check parentage

I think a few amps of both sold in the S co sale in minnesota a couple falls ago. Dave Luett bought some L 21. $100 an amp comes to mind, dont quote me.

Bob May owned Stinger? thats news to me. I thought Flesner did. Here is my experience with Stinger, and I have quite a bit. He made tremendous clubby cows out of angus dams. Right up there and often surpassing the Cunias, Epinals, etc. He was by far the best maine to be used to improve...

Windsor son. great style. Looked goofy in the picture of him in the GH book. Good bull at the time. I wouldnt rush out to buy semen on him but I sure wouldnt throw it away. He had a classy look that will never be out of favor.

WD has sold a gazzillion units over the years, mostly to be used on heifers. I have had probably 50 WDs out of heifers and never touched one. I know people have, but what I have seen those instances could be attributed to management (too fat, grain in third tri), tiny pelvic clubby breds that...

I am amazed at how chubby some 60 day old and younger calves are that I am seeing. This is the earliest I have ever put out creep, its just a basic pelleted Kent deal, and am just now getting some interest. I have always been afraid of burnout, and the calves I sell early to traders generally...

Pretty good recipe TMJ, only problem is by the time you got to your end product in ten years, who knows what we are going to be looking for LOL! Power Plant is kind of like plutonium. Very unique and powerful and can do some amazing things, but in the wrong hands or used improperly, can have a...

It has value for sure, since it is an insurance claim I think you could check with some of the sale managers that have genetic sales. Off the top of my head I think I remember a couple straws bringing 100.

So. I had an ET baby due April 20. Kinnebear (sp?) Leader 21A X PHA TH free stinger/Harvey fulton Cupid cow. The kid who lives at that pasture calls me and excitedly tells me I have a set of twin Heifers. I am stoked as since I wanted a heifer I am thinking its a twofer. I zip out there after...

He is a crossbred, so prepotency is a question, but if you are a believer in the old school theory of "like breeds like" he is a must use. Dollars to doughnuts if that little freak had to walk in snow the cattle track would be two single tracks instead of one wide one.

He had alot of friends in the lot. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about him, except carrier status. Looked amazingly sound considering his butt is about 4 ax handles wide.

Thanks for the input one and all. I dont feel OBLIGATED to do anything, its just that all things being equal, these are bulls I would consider anyway. I am using Smooth Sailing and HW whatever and they will be doing the heavy lifting on my cows. I will be paying the guy whether its ABS, SEK...

He looks ok, I mean if you like the whole mongo whale butt and hair and bone and stuff. I about had a stroke when I saw him at stud walking around. He sure didnt "walk alone" when I saw him. Several name cowboys were following him around drooling. If that critter starts freezing Wade will have...

Anyone seen any Point Taken, My Turn, or Q Dogs? I am using my local abs guy to do my AI this year as I am planning on not being around much during the heart of breeding season. Other than HW clone number whatever I can get and Smooth Sailing, I feel I owe it to the guy to buy off his shelf. If...

The thread on clubby bulls and longevity got me thinking. What are the oldest animals you know of? Get your hip waders on, but this is first hand told to me... Doc Thomas (THAT doc thomas, if you were around 20 years ago) Told me he euthanized a small herd of registered polled herefords that...

Not bad for a cripple, huh. WMW was the soundest, most athletic, attractive mature bull I ever saw. He danced like a drunken frat boy when I saw him in the pasture as a 10 year old. Screwed like one too. I think Steermaker was 15 when he died. the story I was told he was shot by a jealous...

Thank you for your counsel DL. Unfortunately we had a bleed out and I now have a bottle calf. I have a suspicion the tear that gave me a bath is involved somehow. Thankfully I dont have a ton of experience with prolapse, but I am pretty sure I can recognize an UHOH. Anybody need a graft calf...

That settles it. MSweeney, you just gave me the push over the cliff, as well as gave me a mild heart attack. I might oil up the chainsaw just in case we need a side door to boot.

I received some appreciated insight as well as sympathy on my last post, lets see what you all think of this... Second calf Picasso, maturing out well, has the makings to be a good cow. Stellar management skills coupled with a brain fart caused her to be ai'd to HW1. Whoops. Due date is 7 days...
