He has raised several other full brothers (I like the looks of Gold Glove), and kept some interest in a couple of them, but I think he just sold HW. He raised a few other bulls that looked pretty good but were lighty promoted. There was one called National Treasure that was a Godfather out of...

my stupid little heeler got into a skunk last night  >:( Does anyone have a remedy that I don't have to worry much about getting in the eyes? Bathing this dog is an experience to say the least, and chances are, whatever I use will be in everyone's eys

Calved my first HW heifer last week. All seems just fine at this point. She is out of a Lifeline x Meyer cow and had a bull by OCC Missing Link. He came about 70 lbs unassisted and got up and nursed. Matter of fact other than a navel dip, scour bolus, and eartag, I've yet to touch either the...

I have heard ppl complain for several years that all the good ones are fake, but I'm not in the right showbarns at the right time to know for sure, I guess. I know that putting oil in one ruins the carcass and that will not fly in OH, folks found out first hand when it all hit the fan here like...

There are always matings that you obviously want one sex or the other from. I always try to completely erase the thought from my mind and never let it cross my lips! It seems that wishing for one sex, guarantees the other most of the time for us

I assume the Gottschalk/Shoufler display would be the Bartender bull

A guy that runs a big commercial outfit in NE (like calves 2000 a year), told me a couple years ago that he has had cows die choking on it. That was the first that I had heard of it I think, and ever since then I have been getting them out of the pen if I'm around when they clean. I think all of...

He was even better in person than the picture. HUGE A**, rib, and bone that you don't find in PB cattle often. I have only seen a couple that I remember. A steer that won the breeds at a very tough Clark Co. OH fat show last summer (this one could have been at state fair, but he was big enough...

I have only seen a couple, one that sticks out as really good won the show in Springfield, OH last weekend. My thought on the bulls out of this Touchstone Angus cow (Monopoly, All Aboard, Headliner) was always the same as yours, HW x PB Angus doesn't equal enough "look" so put him on a freaky...

A Monopoly won the show in Springfield Oh last weekend. I saw him up close and he was a dang good one. Really sound, soft, lots of look, right sized, but he wasn't gonna overpower anyone. We'll see if he has enough in the seat of his pants come fat steer time, but for now, very good. Get this...

I've done them anytime between weaning and yearling. I've always been surprised at how well they take it and never really saw it as a big deal shoving it thru there, and I get queasy on big dehorning days on the commercial cattle :P Had a 3 year old bull rip his out a few years ago. He didn't...

;) Not that I know from any sort of experience, but I have heard from the best of sources that thorazine is a much better option in most cases. Ace is said to make them fall apart structurally, especially in their top. They say they have to be very strong topped to be able to look good on Ace...

I don't think this one is any worse structured than about 90% of the clubby crossbreds that you see promoted. The only difference is the fitting and photos, to me anyway

Point taken on all accounts  ;) They don't have to be goose necked to be great females, and there are great females, by breed standards, in all breeds

I saw this Shorty Plus heifer up close and personal at NAILE and she was a flat good one. Awesome structure, big centered, wide made, feminine in the right places, would've won if she had the right prefix. I also saw some of the Lowlines moving in as we were heading out. The pictures might...

Is that the Final Solutions that you're waiting on? If so, I'd think about a shot. Ours were plenty big last year. Nice, but big

Meaning he isn't that good or they are limiting the supply or both?

How big framewise are the females in question?

I'm with Freddy on this one. Hate to say it but he looks a little Aliasy, if you will, being pretty straight on both ends. Hard to really analyze structure in pictures though

agree. Leave it there for a week then run the flatheads down the center of their face - VIOLA! They used to stick em on the tailhead at our county fair weigh in, which was between AGR and AGS back in the day. Now that sucked. After the 1st time, I ran ahead of my calves in the alley and made...
