    I think Kansas decides on Monday whether to go or not. Could state organizations put on a little show for the heck of it?

    Interview with Tim ohlde

    I just wish that some Shorthorn cows got flushed to 6807. To me that would be the best thing that could happen to the breed. It would bring in a new line of genetics that may be useable to the breed through the appendix set up.

    Weston Ready Go

    The last person to own him was Gus Lippert I think. He lived about 40 miles from me. I went over and saw him. I once had 40 amps of him in a jug. I can't remember for sure but the jug went bad or I threw the semen away or something. I wish to heck I still had it. I was thinking he might of been...

    optimum cow size

    To me the question is how much more does a big cow eat than a smaller one? Can a smaller cow get by with less supplementation? It all boils down to is a smaller cow cheaper to maintain and get breed. To start with.....how many cow guys balance the number of cows per pasture right anyway? Years...

    optimum cow size

    Good utube. At least it is a new way of measuring things. I think a more moderate cow is better. Pounds weaned per acre is better than pounds weaned per cow. Extra milk might be a bigger factor. It depends on environment. This is a topic well worth looking into.

    I think we will have to pull cattle of grass here in 30 days because of the drought. So will have a chance to do that. I don't know why people would not test and double test all herd bulls. It is a hell of a lot better than and cheaper than testing 50 of their daughters. You are a good man doc.

    He's good footed. Hid daddy was not great. The Angus cattle are poorer footed than Shorthorns in my experience. Yes.......Doc when we took a pen of plus bulls to Denver in the pen of 5. We had them entered and tested for th late. We had one that came up a th carrier. We did not scratch the pen...

    I apologize to you Doc for raising unworthy genetic defect free Shorthorn plus cattle. Shorthorn people love the black and roan shorthorn pluses that carry at least 2 defects. One the one teleconference call I was on a few month back we talked about the Shorthorn Plus perception of genetic junk...

    Stylist's sire was a purebred Red Red Angus. I had him tested for I think two Red Angus defects. I have spent over 7,000 $ testing for th over the last 10 whatever years. I'll have to look for paper work on the dam she was tested or clean by pedigree. It was probably done by Beever and not the...

    He looks a bit tough. We have had 3 inches of rain since last August. He's with 50 cows right now. 40 calves on the ground. So next spring we will have over 100 calves to evaluate. I'm not bragging. Dipstick claimed I have never raised anything. I simply replied. I know what his birth was...

    I would be scared to death to buy a Shorthorn bull from most all of the Shorthorn breed. I can't trust that they are honest about birth weights. The only people I have trusted to buy a bull from is Lovings.

    Any thoughts on cattle shows being held this summer?

    I was hoping that everybody just opened up.......and then by the time the National Western comes around covid 19 would would have all ready swept through everybody and caused herd immunity. I suppose though that the fall of 2020 a second wave will be coming through.
