    Widest Clubby bull out there?

    We didn't have any luck with Walks Alone temperament. They were some of the strongest willed cattle we've worked with. They weren't mean necessarily as they were extremely smart animals that were temperamental. Have seen several Jimmy the Greek calves. They looked awesome as calves and as they...

    Cow type for MAB

    We were going to experiment with MAB this year on a couple of cows. What type of cow do you all believe he clicks with the best? The pictures I have seen he seems shoulder heavy and breaks a bit. Wouldn't a feminine made female with clean front compliment him? I have two females that are...

    Full Flush and other fitted by today's style

    This is an excellent point. Some of the clones look world different than their donor. Feeding and fitting styles change and I would have to think it would make a huge difference.

    Would you keep/buy a twin as a herd bull?

    NOt to side track the thread- I didn't know that. Interesting. If the twin is not sterile no reason if he is what you are breeding for not to keep him as a bull. but as said previously, a twin has greater chance of throwing twins.

    Is this calf any good?

    There are alot of good things about your calf, I think there are alot of odd angles which may not flatter him. He has some natural thickness and style. It will be interesting to see how he develops. We have had great luck with Simmi influence on our shorthorns.

    Young Heifer Pregant

    You can always have your vet palpate her to see if she has ample room and get a rough estimate of the calf size. We calved one out about same age. Just have to keep close eye on them. We didn't have any issues after with fertility.

    Building shorthorns from commerical black cows

    This is to me is the most economical idea. Save your best momma's and produce half blood solid patterned bulls. I think many of the commercial producers (I know) don't care a whole lot about papers. They care more about performance. That's just my opinion. You can purchase eggs of genetics you...

    what do you guys suggest?

    After seeing her picture you should be fine with Monopoly, Unstoppable, MAB( might be just moderate calf) just a few. I have not been happy with the rear leg set on some of the females that Fu Man Chu has made. They do'nt seem as sound as the Monopoly's. THe Unstoppbale's have been soft made...

    Monopoly clone question

    That is what I was told 4 and is there a 5? Thought for sure the folks told me those two were the best clones thus far.
