I have been banding for 25 years and have no problems. Give a tetanus shot and get the band tight,

congrats

Well, that is what I am about, premium price for premium beef.

And for me tenderness is critical.

Five eighths shorthorn I believe. They fit with the rest of my cattle. A little lighter red maybe.

Yes they are good cattle and I think the meat will be good.

For what it is worth I bought a LUING bull awhile back. his oldest calves are about two and are getting close to ready. When we sample the meat I will have an idea if they fit. So far I like them, I think the females will make good cows. They have a little extra hair which is good in north...

Thanks for the tip. I will check it out.

That is why I like Shorthorns, they are a little more laid back. I do have a couple of rude ones but the cows have many acres and a lot of feed to work with, so it works out.

Never had a Simmental so I will take your word on that.

We graze a lot of cover crops and bale graze also so competition isn't a probem.

That is one of the reasons I like cows that are a little smaller, they stay in good shape better.

I did say my goal, obviously I have cows on both sides of my goal. Some of my first calf heifers are a little thinner than the rest. Your cow looks to be recovered well. I don't feed grain, they have to do it on grass and hay.

Probably 1700 to 1850, yes, I have to look for new genetics and I raise most of my bulls. I did say 1250 pound cow. She has to be thick deep and in good shape, which they usually are. My cows still have their calves on them and they are in good shape as are their calves.

My goal for cow size is a frame score 4 that weighs 1250 pounds. So, my acceptable size is a bull that is compatible has to fits with that. If they get there fast is fine, I just don't want cows that are much bigger.

So, if he weighs nearly a ton at about 21 months, how big is he going to be at maturity? Any idea about frame size?

Yes Dale we sure could use some peace.
