Was $250 on cattle Visions I think They just had a sale where it brought around $190 a straw or so. It was on SC  I seriously doubt that they are out of semen. But he may have stopped producing O0

Nice work if you can find it.  Im going to agree both ways. The type of real world commercially oriented judge doesnt seem to appear much or at all. Especially at the larger breed shows. Hey Texas-I guess the absolute biggest example of a total Sh@$%^&*t show can be found watching the videos of...

First thanks for posting about cattle. I would recommend calling Sullivan supply if anyone has what is needed to sweat or reduce a little leather they do. O0

Based upon the abscense of the CHOI BOYZ-This is a change of subject.The best natured calves and later as cows and a bull I had were were Double Stuffs  O0

  FREE FOR ALL I MADE A POINT OF RECOMMENDING HIM WELL AFTER A POMPOUS BREEDER told me that I would never register a Shorthorn again because I dared to ask where the pittance of  $ was that  I WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE after giving up some pretty expensive embryos. I needed to GET MY COWS BRED IT...

This is a thread that I always remembered-and certainly deserves revisiting for the comments rendered. Back when the Planet had real issues explored. And REAL PEOPLE SPOKE From EXPERIENCE AND EXPRESSED THEIR IDEAS  There were not any stupid useless Bot INHABITANTS OF SQUALID HORRIFIC "CULTURES"...

Neither do I and If one is not well Im on it I could care less about some earth shoe pompous city  yuppy spouting pretense with no basis . I care about my animals and I will not see one suffer or feel sick. I know what I like and what little beef I have like Dale is pretty well sold out when I...

Must be good grass My personal preference taste wise is some finishing feed prior to processing O0

"our" marketing in the US is a big problem.  we keep having ssssammm elliot types  advertising beef and won't embrace anything else. i think it's great that the "image" europeans promote is showing in lab coats and getting rid of the folksy cowboy rugged individual that is outdated marketing...

Anyone want to comment on how these new bulls worked? Any daughters ? O0

There is a very good basic idea posted here by Oakbar. Retained ownership is a very good way to asses real carcass quality in terminal or breeding situations. If there were a more cost effective  way to ultra sound more animals it would be a great indicator with which to answer the great Angus...

I agree can be tough and dry.The best test is the taste test and percentage of high end carcasses. In some resprects feed helps with marbling- And can be high roughage O0

My dad bought a bull from Bert Hanson that was so tall my dad's friend made fun of him. His daughters made sons that won test station gain tests when I thought that was important.  It seemed to be at the very onset of "performance testing" Back when things were so rudimentary people would still...

Breed them clean.Whats wrong with clean ones that may have come from a TH female or Bull? NOTHING I am STILL seeing very good CLEAN hiefers out of th and worse damsor bulls. And in terms of eye appeal , natural thickness etc, they have an edge on some of the harder doing cattle clean or not. I...

Deertrail Goliath was a good sire too. And not all of them were huge. Byland had a very moderate thick female who was the dam of a bull they had I allways wanted to see Called Byland Budlight He was a CE deal who really didnt get promoted -red moderate framed with a GREAT BIG BUTT Really cool...

  Why thanks-I refer to them as RUGBEETERS OR YACKS OR IN DEFFERENCE TO MY IRISH RUGBY BUDDIES LONG AGO-WOGS  The People of Ukraine have my utmost respect-THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT OR THE THEFT OF THIER HOMELAND AND I PRAY (in my own way) for them daily. SO SHOULD WE-PLANATEERS not let anyone...

At least someone is left and I appreciate that If you anaylize him- he resemles the older bulls of the 60s from the side quite a bit-Hes just cleaner made and TWICE as wide as they were-but he moves smooth as silk HOW-do you ask-can I make a judgement call like that? Because I was around...

Trying to keep things going a lttle Lately I like Comptons How Its Done I watched him grow up a few times and then  saw him at less than a year at Ohio Beef Expo (pictured- talk about a crowd pleaser) Then took him to the Nichols  bull stud and back last week on a visit out there. Very...

When I went to Ireland in 1992 the  main Breeders at that time were-Edward Quane-Deerpark, John Ncnally Highfield, O Niel of Ballyart, And certainly Kevin Culhane-Along with Paddy O Callahan their banker who had several exqisite shorthorn and Canadian Hereford Cows I was lucky Enough to visit...

Dale's bull Homeplace Hot Commodity has sired some very good commercial steers and purebred heifers Heres a first calver I like. Very sound structured, along with the kind of hip length you dont see very often, and JMO-a BEAUTIFUL HEAD. No; fake handmade belly that half ruins her later, or hi BW...
