My brother's calf that took 2nd was said to have to much hair to keep him from being in first place.

Great Plains on the north side of Shamrock, TX.   Great people.  Easy in and out.  Price is right.  They have collected two bulls for me.  They collect a lot of rodeo bulls, show bulls, and every time I have been there in the front pen you will see Yellow Jacket.  I have been there 5 times and...

The kid that bought a steer from my brother took 2nd in his class of the American breed and got $6,000.

The judge talked about having a feedlot full of these kind of calves.  Calves were too heavy for the feedlot.  Good calves but larger than what most buyers want.  They will not fit into the box.

Nice looking bull.  What is is registration number?  Where are you selling on March the 8th?

I forgot to ask, will you have your bull at Fort Worth?  I really want to see him.

I am totally in agreement with you. I do not AI to bulls that I know are carriers.  I have calves from a bull that is a spastic carrier and he will not have any keepers in our herd from now on. The only place I see for carriers is to raise terminal cattle and not seed stock.  To perpetuate...

Great calf.  I would not hesitate to use the bull.

I have many 1/2 shorthorns that are smoky or blue.  They are half Maine, too.  They are the best mothers and raise the thickest calves we raise.  I AI to black bulls, but use my Senor Rojo Maine bull out of Lifeline as clean up or on certain cows breed them to him only due to their history.  I...

What MVT says might be true in some parts of the world.  It is not true here.  A white or black calf will top the market here every time.  Those colored like a longhorn or a Holstein will not do well in the sale barn, red and spotted calves will bring less than a solid black one.  In the last...

I am not afraid to use a bull with low bw.  I have a bull that I raised out of ALI and we have not had a calf weigh over 78 lbs in two years.  We breed him only to heifers.    We had two premature calves this year after the heifers were butted in the gut by an older cow.  We had twins born last...

Cowboy is exactly right.  In our part of the world it is caused by too much fertilizer during periods when there is not enough rain and then you get a rain.  There are some feeds that will not pick it up, but there are those you need to run from when they are stressed with heat and drought.  I...

My brother has several out of Sunseeker and brangus cows.  They are really beautiful creatures.  We bred them to my 3/4 Maine out of Ali.  The calves would all fit into a 5 gallon bucket but were vigorus and really grew well.  The next year they were bred to a son of Heatwave and what his dam...

I think everything that was said is good for you to think about.  I had a cow who had a cyst and the vet helped her and we got a calf and if she were good en ought we could have flushed her.  We sold her after we raised the calf and she did breed back.  My Dad had a cow that the only way we...

I also have this bull on my list to watch.  I like his looks.  I want to know if he downsizes the cattle, structure, mobility, calving ease, and how they grow.

Sunseeker is a great bull.  A carrier.  But I would not use him on a heifer.  His calves grow and he will not make the little pine knots that some bulls make.  Tyson will build you a square box, and downsize.  I like him to for large cows only.  This is just my opinion.

Knabe: Thanks for making me laugh.....  humore helps handle tough situations. Opinions are just that opinions.  Yours is as good as mine, and every one has the right to be wrong if they choose to have an opinion that does not agree with mine.  ha  (argue) <cowboy>ha!

<cowboy> I play horse with the grandchildiren if they are at my home. If not, I go to J. C. Pennay's and buy my wife some sexy underware, one size too small.  And it is not  quiet for a while around my house...... many comments about being a dirty old man and sleeping with the dog....... not...

Many show cattle have him in their blood lines.  I like him and Fear This too.  Fear This really added some size to some of mine.  Calving easy is an issue with heifers out of Fear This in my opinion.

Just who is God? What is the nature of God? A recent USA Weekend Magazine had an article “How Americans Imagine God” that dealt with these questions. The article reminded us that 9 out of 10 Americans believe in God or “some higher power.” But what do people actually believe about God? Here are...
