    Making Females. Bull Suggestions Needed.

    What about a 3/4 Angus sired bull? Similar thoughts to what Olson and xbar suggested . Does OCC or Duff have a 3/4 bull?  I like creating the 5/8 x 3/8 females.  Best of luck, post photos when you can.

    Shorthorn Impact 2015 - My thoughts

    \Little Cedar Cabrera is a proven heifer bull? Primo was not promoted as a heifer bull? Of all the bulls out there this is the choice? Good luck

    Surge

    Gary, I have heard the  "beef breeder stories " from other dual breeders too and I am not sure why you would be ashamed to use dual influence even back that many years ago?  Glad you met John before he passed, I recall a Picnic in the late 80's and he passed on shortly after that time. Truly a...

    Twin sisters married twin brothers and they bred dual polled Shorthorns. Line breeding and very moderate dual genetics and also  advocates of performance testing. I spent some time with Florence and Eric ( her son) a couple of afternoons several years back. She kinda helped with the dual...

    THC questions

    The Heatseeker pedigree is also potentially a DS carrier, so if you're testing.... test for both DS and TH. If this female is Heatseeker top and bottom on pedigree, then she is potentially DSH?  Cheaper to do both tests at the same time.

    THC questions

    You cant search a pedigree if it's a black  commerical non papered animal?  That's my point.

    THC questions

    Every one is has a different breeding program and a customer base to follow it. If this sale heifer was say a heatseeker out of a commerical black angus female would you require the 8 tests for genetic issues that Angus have currently? Recently my nephew purchased " THC sired" heifer out of a...

    Jsar Titan

    I attended MCF sale last fall - titan heifers and I believe a full brother sold? This year even a better set sold! Nice heifer bull, more lower quarter then the typical black angus. I wish he was red or would throw red- I would use him.  You can see calves posted on Midcontinet's web page

    I enjoy the diversity of Livestock Plus magazine. It's more then club calf - plenty of breeders that advertise in this monthly. It's free circulation to 15,000 or online.

    Looking for shorthorn bull suggestions

    My sister has used SVFI Uncle on purebred heifers-  he is a dsc too. I would still use him over alot of bulls in the breed today. I like the Elbee throwback suggestion too.  Jake's proud Jazz covered cows along time and is probably the most proven heifer bull in the breed with semen still...

    JDMC ROYAL COMMANDO 3Y Discussing pedigrees

    The maternal grand sire Max 335 had plenty of kill data entered into ASA back when Nick Hammett ran the shorthorn feed trials. Later I am not sure if all of it was entered or not - any way great bull.  Semen is probably still available - check with  A&T cattle.
