He looks great in his work clothes!  Hot Commodity cattle work well in commercial conditions, and that is very desirable.

Finally, Homeplace Hot Commodity 1625 semen is available at Cattlevisions.  His photo and write-up may not be on their website for a day or two.  His first calves were born unassisted, and are red, polled, and have extra style and correctness.

Our Homeplace Hot Commodity 1625 has CEZ quite similar to the old Hot Commodity, and we have not pulled a calf from either of them.  The confidence level on calving ease on 1625 will be higher after we have our fall calves born.  Most modern cattle have some higher growth not far back in their...

David Ragsdale said he sired good carcass cattle.  Bundaberg's ribeye and marbling EPD's suggest he would sire above average Shorthorn freezer beef.

On page 70 of January Shorthorn Country Keith H. Lauer has 21 Performance Dams.  His cattle might be as functional as any.  Some well-known major breeders have purchased KL cows and they are in the pedigree of some high-dollar animals.

Collection has not happened yet.  Hopefully it will be next week.  Sales contract should signed soon, and it may be marketed with more than one company. Price will be $25 per straw.  His ad will be in the April issue of Shorthorn Country.

Homeplace Hot Commodity 1625 is triple free from genetic defects.  He has a shot at being a unique son of old Hot Commodity, because he is an outlier for 7 EPD's as well as 2 of the $ indexes.  Look up 1625's 50K genomic EPD's on the ASA website.  Reg. number is 4251563 and he is a...

Werning family is top notch.

In the '60's at a university herd there were double muscled cattle calves born to of one of those 2 breeds (the one that used to have no "known" defects....).  Double muscling is not functional or practical at all in its pure, homozygous form, but some have suggested using a double muscling...

We have a couple yearling females sired by JR Legacy 23G.  One of his owners described him as having the "right kind of thickness."  Yes, I like them thick, but any trait taken to extreme may have unintended consequences. 

TF Super Sport,  3787293, this one?  Does this make me a Mark T. wannabe?

Back to topic.  I have not seen him, but would RB Eagle 255 be one to consider?  With Real Silver both top and bottom of his pedigree, his thickness is not an accident.  255's sire, Eagle 148, sure sired plenty of muscle.  If JSF used 255, he is functional, and might save you time in the long...

There is so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us, That it hardly behooves any of us To talk about the rest of us. Edward Wallis Hoch, Marion (Kansas) Record Some say another is responsible for this quote, but it is worthwhile wisdom regardless of its source.

Okotoks is right.  Fake birth weights are hidden in plain sight, if you view progeny data.  A leading breeder (another breed and not Shorthorn) used to have all BW from 74 to 82 in a sale, year after year, even though the BEPD was as high as +7.0.  The same thing is true with CE when looking at...

1625 will need to run with our cows and some heifers a little longer.  I'll get back to you when we know.  The best guess is that he will be collected in Feb. if that can be worked out.  The price will be reasonable.

Waukaru's bull, KL Prime Time Teddy is available from a stud or two.  He is proven calving ease, and we are using him on most first-calf heifers.  Teddy calves are eye-appealing enough that our local 4-H champion Shorthorn heifer in 2018 was a Teddy that beat a couple of other good heifers, one...

Thanks, Shortybreeder.  1625 will be running with cows for a few more weeks, since we are mostly a fall-calving herd.  0415 is a daughter of another Performance Dam, Fair Lady 9333, that raised a good calf at age 16.

After 1625 is finished running with cows, we expect to collect him.  What is the optimum length of time for a bull to rest after being out with cows, before he is collected?  Doc Nold preferred waiting until spring--his theory was that springtime is much of wildlife's natural rutting season and...

Thanks, A.J.  For which type of dwarfism is it?  Long nose dwarf?
