http://gohorseshow.com/article/Our_Community/Our_Community/Young_Girl_Sends_Sign_of_Approval_to_Family_From_Heaven/37735 this article is about the daughter of my good friend and the amazing sign from heaven.

i had 6 of them this year.  going to use more this spring.  biggest one on variety of cows was 85 lbs.  i would contemplate him on 2nd calvers, but no concerns at all on mature cows.  They come small and get better every day. 

Wade offers the cream of the crop in his sales and has an incredible eye for quality.  His top will be high, but he has lots to offer and is great to work with.  I would highly recommend going to his sale.  they don't all sell for really high numbers, but his quality is very deep.  he also...

The BIM calves were real reasonable at birth 85 ish on the 6 I had. They are really coming on strong. Eye candy has worked really good for us and we will continue to use him pretty hard.

Eye Candy x Char/Angus bull calf.  I have a couple more but Whitey is always the easiest to get a picture of.  others that look good include several  BIM and a couple more EC calves.

thanks Jamie, Eye Candy worked really well on my char influenced cows.  seem to get really good hair on every mating.  wiish he would have given me more smokey calves, but not complaining on quality.  will use him heavy on them again this spring.  I really like how the carnac's feed and he makes...

a few more. 2737 Monopoly x Stout heifer pair of bulls, front to back. BIM x Dieter Chiangus and Eye Candy x Reflector GD 280 - Carnac x Maine/angus heifer

i don't have one of her from the side, wouldn't cooperate.  Will try and get more pics when time and weather allows. 

BIM tends to make them smoother and better shouldered, Walks make them STOUT.  on a sunseeker i would tend to lean to BIM.  Walks is recommended on smooth shouldered maternal type cows.

had a bright sunny day and calves were looking the part.  here are a few of our sping calves 286 - Carnac x Maine Angus Bull 2684 - Eye Candy x Char/Angus bull 2405 -  BIM x Dieter chiangus heifer

we color code tags for heifers and bulls.  sire ID in neck of tag and cows number on big part.  we have been using 2 digit numbers for foundation cows and adding birth year in the front for retained daughters.  example origanl cow 25.  this years daughter has yellow tag with sire name up top and...

Delivered Afterhours to Nichols in Ankeny last Thursday.  Hoping for good news on collection day tomorrow.

have had some big ones, but the one that stands out was a 132 lb Dr Who on an old line Maine cow.  unassisted.  I remember because my dad called to tell me she calved and said, "don't worry about this one nursing, it's big enough to eat silage!"

i don't have a problem paying up for bulls that i know will work.  Like HW and Monopoly have proven their ability to work on certain cows and Mayer 734 before them.  If he is proven to be a producer on certain cows, it is foolish not to pay the extra $20-$25 and know what to expect.  I don't...

We will be taking Afterhours to Nichols this week.  Once we get semen we will push to get him into most distributors.  In the mean time, feel free to IM with questions and I will gladly respond with availablitiy.  I am very excited about his maternal potential and will use him heavilty in our...

Just purchased this bull from our good friends Brad and Dana Pruess form IA.  Afterhours is a TH and PHA clean son of Irish Whiskey on a Dr Who x Imprint cow.  will be registered 1/2 blood Maine.  We will be taking him to Nichols next week for collection.  If all goes as planned will have semen...

he will add hair, help soundness.  I have had the best luck with him on neat fronted more powerful cows.  Curly hair has not been a problem for me.  pic attached is a fresh bull calf on a char/angus cow

ASA #: 2478837 double bred Dream ON and double bred Sophie although several generations back.. his sire is Right on ( Built Right x WLE Sophie) and his dam is Dream On  x Sophie R727.  R727 is a RCC Headliner on WLE Sophie, the dam of Right On  9FB3 is the angus in the pedigree. 

heard from a guy that saw him yesterday at Nichols.  Described him as ok on bone, GREAT from the side, moderate, really good built and excellent on feet and legs.  adequate muscled.  His first comment was Dream On with a white face.  he will use him
