I would be interested in semen. I like his looks and breeding.

If a cow has high EPD's for milk and year afteryear weans a 500lb calf, something is wrong.  If a cow has a low milk rating but weans a 650 lb calf every year something is wrong.  I cannot understand EPD's for milk in beef cattle when you cannot prove them.  Same is true of maternal.  In a...

I would like his registration #, as I tried to look him up in Canada and US and could not get it to open.  Thanks.

From your previous post I think you are on to something with your breeding.  Please refresh my mind and share with all of us his EPD's, genetics, mature height, mature weight, BW, weaning weight, etc.  He looks like a bull I would like to use.  Like the photos of his sons you have for sale...

I found  this and passed it on but personally do not practice it.  I have seen bulls cut short by being pushed too hard while young and dumped out on a west Texas ranch at 18 months without teeth.  I do not push the bulls hard I sell but feed them a great deal more than grass and hay.

Cowboy is correct.  I have had personal experience.  The strain of a big calf being born adds to the problem and makes for a quicker execution of the disease.  Wet weather.  Any stress.  All magnify the problem and I think tetanus can be a problem too with wet ground and a new naval.

I had an accidental breeding of a bull back to his dam.  The calf was  a heifer and more sound than her sire or dam.  The kicker is the Dam was bred to the 1/2 brother of her sire.  The genetics is loaded, but I will never breed her to a relative on either side if I can help it.

Pharo Philosophies... . Sex is NOT Work for a Bull There is nothing a bull would rather do than breed cows. The reason seedstock producers and veterinarians caution against “overworking” a bull is because most bulls are developed on a hot feedlot ration. Consequently, they lose condition during...

Please PM the price, registration number, and location.  Pictures if you have more.  Thanks.

Please PM me the price, any other photos, and your location.

I love the bull and would be interested but it is too far from Texas..  Great looking bull!

I have had 5 heifers from him.  The first was as good a heifer as I have ever seen.  The next four are smaller framed than I like in my cows, all are smaller bone than their dams.  They are very pretty.  Hairy.  Grow a little slower than most of the other calves.  While the first one was the...

I have talked to him and agree with you... great to discuss his cattle with... My crippled bull had lost 400 lbs, but still brought $93/cwt.

I sold my bull, Senor Rojo, this week.  Last year he was injured in a bull fight.  Another bull tore up a gate and got in with him and he had never damage.  Held his tail high, lost 1/2 of his rear muscles, and walked with his right leg in under him and stiff like.  We had two blizzards and they...

Have you used "Winning Fill" for your show steers or heifers?  At what stage do you use it?  How long do you use it?  Did it work for you?

For the last 3 years we have been told that they do not want calves over 1320 lbs.  I did not make the number up.  I do not know if it is regional or not, but have sold them calves for 25 years.  At the same time they do not want a 1200 lb calf that is not finished.  We got a $1.08 for the...

Cabinnas told us they will dock everything over 1320.

A year and 4 months ago I have sold 20 first and second calf heifers and young cows that were either 1/2, 3/4 or PB Maines.  I am still getting calls from those who bought them asking me about their breeding and what I thought about them keeping some of the calves as bulls.  One had always...

Well said, Jack.  Show cattle have been too pricey for the commercial breeders, too.  Commercial cattlemen are not interested in hype, but production and the bottom line.  They want cattle that require the least amount of maintenance.  They don't care if they are hairy or not, but they must...

When you show dogs, you dress to the hilt like the rest.  If you show in Europe, you dress like they do.  If you show horses you dress like a cowboy/girl, but if you watch the equine contest they dress different from those who halter show.  4-H and FFA kids dress very neatly but do not wear...
