    for all intents and purposes, Midas is good from a nostalgia perspective...but there are far better bulls out there than him (some of his descendants offer his positive traits in an easier doing package, less rangey package).  now if you are breeding some dumpy Red Angus cows...or even some...

    The Leachman saga continues

    the horse sale was just recently. if you read one of those articles, they only had to put down 8 horses.  out of over 800, that's a pretty minute death loss. here in Montana, we've had about the third terrible winter in a row. if you look at some of those horses, they're fat as hogs.  800...

    Docility and feed conversion

    yeah, let's just run one big experiment and move all the really productive powerful northern cattle to the mid-west and see what happens.  let's leave the rest of the continent wide open for the construction of a loony bin.  your suggestion is absurd, and by the way, not very cost effective.

    What is the greatest bull ever?

    Novino To my knowledge, there are no pictures of him in North America, but what I can attest to is this:  There are 70 direct progeny in the Canadian Maine-Anjou database sired by Novino.  I also understand that 22 females sired by Novino were imported to the US.  He is a foundation bull to...

    Vilsack: Farm Exports Expected to Reach New Record This Year

    land prices are driven by supply and demand, as well as who can afford to pay for them.  land prices in montana are inflated more due to movie like 'a river runs through it' than they are by a $6 / acre grain subsidy.  over a 30 year period, that's a whopping $180.  woo hoo.  I can see how that...

    Vilsack: Farm Exports Expected to Reach New Record This Year

    yeah, that's typical, just when producers are thinking they might be able to rebound from the rough years of the recent past....jerk the rug out from under their feet. <party> Inflation creates more crisis than it solves.
