I wanted everyone to see this and not have it buried in the 602 Cunia thread. I talked to a breeder today who had a bull tested for TH when the test first came available. Tested clean. It was ,what? 2 years and the PHA demon came about? Bull is dead so they sent in semen to test for PHA. They...

GW I understand completely your sentiments, that was my thought as well, except as I got to thinking about it, human error makes more sense to me than blatant fraud. The 602 cow has been hyped for a long time. I dont see her getting bred to Homer the Gomer. If I recall I remember offspring out...

Lets assume there was an honest mistake made somewhere along the line, like used Cunic instead of Cunia (heard of it happening) or something of that sort, how in the heck to do you go backwards to fix it and make it right all along the line? Cunia 602 has been around a while now, they have to...

I go to the home pasture after being away on business a couple days and find a calf in the crowding tub in need of pinkeye treament. Dad didnt put him there. Buddy with two cows didnt put him there. Neighbor didnt put him there. All I can figure is somebody went fishing on the pond...

I dont see pictures happening as even if I had a camera I wouldnt know how to post them. For now he is named Spiderpig (Simpsons movie) and is very content believing he is a cow. How big do those things get? And ahfm, heelers do in fact bring that kind of money if you target customers that are...

I have many times found a wayward cow, many a yearling, and the occasional very unwelcome bull, but I got something that is beyond me and I would welcome someone to one up me. A Vietnamese pot bellied pig has materialized out of nowhere and has taken up residence at the home pasture. When I say...

Could I have your contact information? I know someone who is interested and would like to talk to you

You bring up a good point Diamond. I think we would have to have a complete paradigm shift in "type" desired for there to be an opening for an absolute outcross. And it would have to be drastic, like the frame explosion we chased when the continentals showed up. "clubby" bred cattle are so...

The picture would imply there is something there for sure, hard to tell from that picture (or any for that matter) about details. One thing you can tell for sure is that she is a neat marked blue roan and that seems to sell nicely.

Is there anyone over the age of oh, say... 23, who WOULDNT be offended at being called a steerjock?

Before I rant, let me concede that the kid has a point. Not a great one, but a point. Fact is, this is not some tobacco chewing illuminatti of BIG TIME steer producers exchanging respective judging schedules and alligning bids at their sales. I will say this. Even though Hook is the only...

deleted due to post previous making my statements irrelevant

If it werent for the PHA issue, If i had an opportunity to buy 5 flushmate DP/angus heifers or 5 heifers out of the same cow and 734, I take the Draftpicks everytime. And I love Meyer cows. These are direct daughters? How old are they? Those are a trifecta of great cowmakers and it just kind of...

I love a fancy setup as much as the next, but the ones I really appreciate are the ones that scream functionality without the cash outlay, that even if I DID have available, i wouldnt it waste it that way unless the nest egg was so large that the amount spent was insignificant. I agree with an...

Why dont more people talk about the Geek? I have seen more studs out of JTG this year than any and thats on very few matings. Dont know for sure who raised the heifer, but I have an idea. I got ten units out of Mikes tank, other than that the stuff  is hard to come by. Geek aint producing...

Laces tied together, hanging on a wire. Anyone noticed this? It was brought to my attention recently and when asked what the purpose was I was stumped. Does anyone else see this and have any idea the purpose?

I had the honor of meeting this young man when I was assisting the Foundation angus sale in Denver and he and his family were consignors. Truly an inspirational individual that hs been blessed with a great family. Their cows were pretty good too.

Um, no. did you SEE the picture of that maine bull? Those Blues are big boys, no doubt, but they are mid to high 2k. That maine was A DOUBLE TONNER. There was no true point of reference but I am guessing he was over 65in and MASSIVE.

Lut? dumbest name ever. they should have called called him lute (as in olson). If you have semen, hold on to it. Reserve angus heifer in Denver was a lut. You know how political the point major angus shows are? The "angus people" were coming unglued that a no name got hardware with a "damn club...

definite heifer bull. Knew lots of people that used him with zero problems.
