I kinda thought it fit & had a few things in common too.  But even if it didn't, it's not like this is the first post that was ever high jacked & it for sure isn't the worst at drifting off subject.      You make a good point as it is almost Christmas, so I'll also say... Merry Christmas to...

Depending upon the selling price, 20-25% non-refundable & due within 10 days.  Balance at pick up.  With that said, back in late spring/early summer, I sold 2 packages of embryos that I haven't been paid for.  I got a 25% deposit on both packages.  1 person paid almost all of their package off...

I can almost always tell how well a person is going to work out, just by talking to them about pay & then judging their reaction/attitude towards it.  It's a good litmus test.  My observation, over the years, is that the cheaper a person is willing to work, the more loyal they usually will be...

IMHO, they probably found somebody else who had more animals and/or was paying more $$.  Either that or they probably thought that they made enough $$ off of you & then got lazy.  Either way, I'd pay em what I owed em & then part ways.         

Don't know about any rooms "by Teddy's" & I can't help you with that part, but if that doesn't pan out for you... I do know that as of a few days ago, there were still plenty of hotels in Denver with fairly cheap rooms... $40-$70 per night.  Several with "pricey rooms" too. 

"May not" doesn't mean "will not".   ;)                   Yes, that is a real good steer.

Based on what I've seen, the demand for Lowline cattle is as strong or stronger than it's ever been, but at the same time, the economy is causing the buyers pockets to not be nearly as deep.  Also, I see a whole lot more interest in fullblood cattle than in percentage Lowline cattle right now &...

Agree.  A person who fits lots of champions on a National Level will be able to ask for more than somebody who doesn't have a similar track record.  Also, getting 2 head ready is a whole lot different than getting 8 head ready & the pay is typically going to be a whole lot different too.  Same...

Gunsmoke is a very thick butted rascal.  Saw him in the stalls @ Louisville. 

If the only thing that you don't like about him is that he's small, I'm happy!  Thanks!  ;)

Thanks!  He was 54 lbs, out of a full sized recip. 

Thanks!  I appreciate the input & I can't say that I disagree with any of it.  I don't know his exact frame size or weight, but you are correct in guessing that he's certainly not a "big un".    ;) His sire is a Sonny son, Phildon Get Serious.  Actually, when he was younger, I thought that he...

Thanks Dori, I appreciate the honest response!  I am confident that his type will appeal to some commercial operators, but my big question is how many will he appeal to being red with the potential to sire some chrome & lots of hair?      RE his potential in the Lowline World... I'm thinking...

Yes, I put a younger pic on here somewhere.  It was a pic that they used to promote a county 4H & FFA club calf prospect sale.  He was pretty green & freshly weaned, but he was clipped & cleaned up in that pic.          RE Denver... I might be... IDK yet.  Decent possibility.  You going?     ...

Thanks for the reply!  I see exactly what you are talking about, but his legs are not a concern in real life.  I think that it's a combo of the mud, wild hair sticking out, & the camera angle creating an illusion (he's standing twisted too & I'm sure that doesn't help).  Not sure how quickly...

Correctly mentioning that Heatwave isn't going to sire a purebred Shorthorn calf (although he could sire a Shorthorn Plus) should not be considered a problem by anybody... it's simply telling the truth.  Posting an opinion about a calf over on the Big Show Board, especially if the person is like...

Thanks for the input!  Is there anything in particular that you don't like?   I may take a couple more pics sometime, but I'd rather not post any dolled up show pics, unless or until I decide to help promote him.  Not to mention that I'd rather not take the time to clip him unless I want to...

So do you think he has any potential or should I continue looking? 

BWF = Black White Face 1/2 sister out of the same BWF dam, but sired by a Lowline bull...  

That is a pretty astute observation, especially with me posting the pic.  ;)    3/8 Below is a pic of his neck when he was younger...
