"you need to consider is the BWs on the heifer's side too."    You have a key to the equation here.  Good input. I like both bulls but have not used them on heifers.  I have used Gucci on heifers and am well pleased.  The best bull I ever used on heifers was Ali.  The best calves out of...

May God bless these families and your son.

We have had success with Sun Seeker but I would not use him on a heifer.  Also, if you keep a heifer you will need to test her.

Jack all of my calves have lots of hair and none of the are curly.

I will try to get some photos in the next two weeks.  I did see three calves out of Predator and they have the same killer look as the Gucci calves, but to me they seemed to have a little less hair.  I think all of the Lamborghini sons will throw hair because he does.  I love the Predator...

What is his registration number?

Has anyone used this bull and raised a good club calf out of him?  I saw some great calves out of him recently.  He is a carrier like his sire, Heat Wave. If you have used him, please tell us what you have seen in his calves.

Thanks for all the information. Mike had told me that he makes them really thick and big boned.  Does he make them too straight on the rear legs and will they breakdown? DL, does the spastic calf problem have a relationship with being too straight on the rear legs?  I know that occasionally...

I do not know, as we now only have one and we bred her to Hard Core.  This heifer calf will have to hurry if she wants to stay in our herd. My brother is going to breed his half breed brangus heifers to him.  Their sire is Sun Seeker.  I wonder if he will throw too much hair for the American...

I am thinking about using the Maine bull, 227544, Pay Off.  Has anyone used him?  Tell me about the calves.  Did they make good grown cows and have longevity?  Did they break down on you? Thanks

I want to tell everyone who might be looking for a bull to use on heifers that we used Gucci, 389047, on heifers and second calf cows and they came small and have grown really well.  We had people come look at the calves and the ones they liked best were out of him and our bull Senior Rojo.  The...

I like the Immortal bull and will use in on a few young cows for club calves only, but I do not know about using him on a heifer.  A bull I used on heifers this past year that makes great hair, thick tops, and big bone, while coming easy is the Maine bull, Gucci.  He is also PH and TH free if...

I had some Sugar Ray's that I hauled to the sale barn after they hurt me.  I had a great granddaughter of Sugar Ray that hyper extended my knee and tore my MCL last year.

Show heifer is right about moving the calf away from it's dam.  She was not being smart, just passing on some good information and trying to be helpful.  The other comments were not made to help but to be smart, why?  When this post started it began to help flolks, let's keep it that way.

I used a new bull, Gucci.  Every cow and heifer I bred to him calved but one and she will tonight.  All have been bulls except one heifer.  Has anyone else had some calves from him?  The ones we have had came easy with weights between 63 and 78 lbs.  All are black, hardy at birth, hairy, thick...

How much do you feed and for how long?  Do you cut back on the show feed and add corn to this ration?  Thanks.

A few weeks ago I was told of the research at the Texas A & M Experiment Station near Lockett, TX.  One of the young doctors is leading a research program to see if E. Coli is getting into our water through the creeks and rivers from here to Dalhart.  Her research has not found E. Coli near...

Thank you.  I think Ground water is the largest need in Guatemala.  Because of the floods that preceeded us they were very concerned for the health of the people.  Many water systems were heavily damaged.  I repaired one while I was there.  There is a difficulty in getting supplies.  I...

Every year we have a similar problem with some of my heifers that are Chi/Ang crossed with Maines.  I try to AI them, then turn them in with a bull and have an early Spring calf rather than a fall born.  They originated from a Chi/Angus we bought for our kids years ago and she bred late her...

It took us 4.5 to 5 hours to get to where we worked.  The people away from the cities and in the mountain areas are Mayan Indians, short, beaustiful, and very poor.  Americans need to go there and take their children to work and see what life is ourside our country.  We have taken young people...
