    Full Blood Maine Weekly Update

    The best thing to do with old fullblood semen is use it on parentage verified fullbloods. Then collect bulls, then use on cows like you want. Anything else, is a waste.

    Full Blood Maine Weekly Update

    i think the reason people are going back to some fullbloods, is to go black again without twin creek etulason, cunia, etc., because the fullbloods that were ignored because they weren't tall enough, chi looking that one could create something again. granted it will take 4-5+ generations to...

    Full Blood Maine Weekly Update

    The power plant lameness issues are on here from other people and second comments he was extremely lame at stud. Nothing more, nothing less. The few pics of him show inflamed hocks. Maybe he wasn’t quite sound enough to jump so many times or he got injured. Who knows. Someone does.

    Can a steer that weighs 930lbs gain 70 lbs in three days? Can steers fluctuate by 20-30lbs from day to day?

    i've shrunk down steers 150lbs before in the old days. so much so their skin was wavy. was quite the trend back in the day. it's to make it easier for judges to place animals that look 100lbs more than they should against an animal that isn't shrunk as much, if at all by entry level...

    A double muscled calf that has parents that don’t look double muscled are both carriers. Couple ways to deal with it. Only use tested clean bulls, if using unknown bulls, and cows are unknown, test the calves you think you might want to keep that don't exhibit the trait. Many times...

    i did see cowtown in a pasture with some cows and a couple of others similary bred. i can't remember if cowtown was a clone of a winning steer, but whatever that bull's name was, i saw that one too. a professor at a college in Texas was leasing bulls. seemed to have a pretty good program. i...

    Piedmontese do this with a single copy of the double muscling gene and are also lean. the mutation is way downstream in the protein compared to the mutation in other breeds, so the protein has an intermediate effect with a single copy. the other breed's mutation doesn't work (make it tender)...

    an old poster on here, chambero, used to think so. i don't have enough exposure to them to know. i've seen a lot of graded cattle on the hook (hundreds) of all types and breeds which is not possible anymore, including show calves, but the show calves were mostly they were underfed for a variety...

    currently listed as available and trustworthy. https://www.lautnerfarms.com/product/trustworthy/ i guess i would doubt the not frozen rumor, as he's another never ending heat wave derivative that no one seems to be able to displace.
