Here's the website---www.oakbarranch.com

Ops!!  Forgot to incude the Hyperlink to the website!!    Here it iswww.oakbarranch.com

Because we have a bank of embryos from her, we have decided to offer either a partial breeding interest or a full breeding interest with one retained flush on CVF Homedale Myrtle Bo.  She is a proven donor with offspring that include SS Breathless Bo and Oakbar Myrtle Bo VT.  She is currently...

We have updated our website(including the "For Sale" section).  Tell me what you think about the quality of the site and the offerings we have recently decided to add. 

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!!  I'm sure the most honest was from JIT about my ignorance.  Once we got the basic layout and I learned where everything is on this new computer its really kind of fun working on it.      Oh, Bob, I know you like the wildlife but at least take a look at...

My least favorite of weather conditions today (fog, cold, wind) so I thought I'd finally start working on a different website.  If you'd like to see the progress this old, tech ignorant Iowegian made today take a look atwww.oakbarranch.com

I seldom reply on this thread, but I do read it and respond with my own quiet,simple prayers for those mentioned.    Man, it seems that there's really been a lot of losses lately.    May god bless all those affected by these losses and injuries!!

Many of you have probably heard of (or even seen) the 40 horse hitch that was popular several years ago.  I'm sorry to report that Dick Sparrow (the man who recreated the 40 horse hitch) has passed.    Dick was from Zearing, IA and was a very interesting gentleman.  I last saw Dick at the...

Sorry to hear you lost a good one!!  Glad to hear you've got some embryos to carry on with, though.    I think we all have that favorite cow or two that we would hate to lose so we can all understand what a deflating feeling that can give you.  Good luck with the embryos!! 

Thank you, Jason, for acting on this situation.  I read both the posts you mentioned before you took them off and I agree they went way over the line.  I see no reason to make fun of someone when they are obviously feeling the loss of a friend.  Furthermore, when someone asks fellow SP...

I voted for you Jason!!  I think you've done a great job for all of us on SP!! I also vote for SP in that category as well!!

I'd recommend talking directly with Patrick Wall at the ASA rather than trying to get opinions and gossip from other websites or discussion groups.JMHO

I'm pretty excited about our pregnancies for 2011.  Our AOD heifer is bred to ALI for a Feb. heifer calf. We have more pregnant cows than we can handle the first week of March as every one of our embryos resulted in  a pregnancy this year and the cows we AI'd for that week did very well too. ...

Thanks for your help this year, Cowboy!!    I hope you and your family have a wondrous, joyous holiday season!!!  May God Bless!!

Our fair has a minimum weight of 850 with no top.    We don't sell the actual calves but have a ribbon sale instead.  The only place weight really comes into play is in the carcass contest where carcasses over 900# get docked as they would by the packer and this can affect there placing.

I posted this info on the other question about weigh-ins so I might as well post it here, too.  This should give you some idea of the averages you can expect.    Of course, if your calf is large framed he will  probably need to weigh more than 1300 lbs.to grade Choice. Our 2010 county fair...

Congratlulations Katy & Matt!!!    I hope you're always as happy as you have been the times I've talked with you in Denver and Louisville.  May God Bless you always!!   

Frame size certainly does determine what the ideal finished weight of your steer should be--the larger the frame--he more he will weigh when he grades choice. Here are some actual weights and averages from our 2010 fair on all the steers from our carcass contest. Ave weigh-in  weight    694...
