Jill, DL told us what bulls she likes that carry conditioning well and breed back well with good dispositions.  What is your experience?  What bulls do you like?

I sold an 15 year old last year that bred AI every time on the first time while I had her.  She was a Heart Beat daughter from a FB cows.  She was huge but maintained her cover and always raised a great calf.  I bred her to Bouncer to downsize her and have a wonderful heifer who just calved at...

I love the Lifeline cattle.  I have a lifeline son out of a Jazz dam.  He is the real deal too.  Many have asked me to collect him.  I kept two heifers from him out of heifers.  They are the real deal too. I sold one steer from him for a show steer and he is the real deal, and the others lacked...

One of the nice things about getting ideas from people is that you are responsible for your own and final choice.  I did not say I wanted a bull to do it all.  I said I wanted the look.  The look in not like a Holstein milk cow, which some Maines do look like.  I want my females to have muscle...

DL, I agree with you about Witch Doctor.  He also downsized some of the larger bone wagon type cows of the original FBs. I think some of the bulls today have more of a dual purpose, too.

His bull calves were some of the top gainers and performers in a bull test last Spring.  I cannot remember but they were the top 4 and one other was in the top 10. A heifer from him was a winner a year or so ago, and she is the only one I have seen from him.  Very good cow. I do not think he has...

If you had a herd of young cows that are 50% to PB Maines and you wanted the calves to look like Market Show steers, yet, have cattle that will be in your herd for 10-14 years, and calves that would grow up to be commercial prospect bulls and replacement cows, because they grow and have great...

I think in the next few years we had better be using bulls that come small, grow fast and fatten up quickly with as little grain as possible at 1100 lbs. In the commercial market there are not many players out there that will buy your yearling 900-1000 lb calves coming off wheat pasture as...

Last Month I got 1.3 inches of rain and I got .85 out of this.  We still have no water in our tanks.  Some people in the same county have full tanks.  Last night some got unto 4 inches, most were 2-3 but in the north west part of Wilbarger county we got .75 to .85 and northeast got 1.8.  We are...

While walking in my pasture checking the pregnant cows and heifers I watched three different cows ride a heifer who stood, and lowered her head.  She is almost due.... tight udder, and she needs to swell up about a week more... I have had cattle and been in the pasture 65 years and had never...

Love to see the photos and the price.

I used him on 1/2 Maine and 1/2 Shorthorn cows and I got all bulls ..... they grew well.  Were not as thick as I wanted and were cut up in the flank....but they did grow fast....  No keepers.

ZNT and Chambero: What type of cow would you use Tyson on?

I love both bulls........  The attitude of the Lifeline appeal more to me.... but for influence I think Habanero has been greater.  Both can throw some red ones but Lifeline seems to throw more red than his sire.

Lifeline is one of the bulls that was owned by several.  Corky Wise is one of the major owners and they have bought out some of the others.  He was not cared for real well by one owner.....or over used and they thought he would die for a while.... His calves all seem to have a good appetite and...

There's no need to request that you forward this ~ you will, trust me! http://www.spiritisup.com/iftomorrownevercomesrms.html

I have a bull that I raised out of Ali.  He is a 3/4 Maine and all of his ansesters are on the easy calving list.  His grandmother, mother and he were all out of first calf heifers born at 22-24 months of age.  None were pulled and none weighed over 72 lbs.  My brother used him on his Sunseeker...

The man that is helping my grandchildren break their calves trains horses and they feed them coastal, which for years was sprayed with MSMA to control grassburs.  He said it makes some horses very ill, others a little and some show no affects.  I have fed coastal to my cows for years that was...

Tell us how the calves turn out..... I like the bull's looks, but looks do not always translate into production. Our ugly old #19 shorthorn cow which did not walk on her back legs correctly and had been a recipient for my neighbor never raised a calf that was not a keeper.  I have 5 blues out...

Cowboy: I think it was an injury of some type too.  I have not noticed a lump, but have given her shots three times and after I gave her B Complex shot with the LA 200 three days ago we have not seen any more blood, the matted eyes are clear, and she is not having the occasional hard deep...
