Our senior herd sires at the end of August, we had the best grass growing season in several years. Saskvalley Curfew 41C and Hatfield Bingo 2F

A couple of our herd bulls this year. The white one is Hatfield Bingo 2F by Diamond Director 7D and out of a Diamond Prohecy 21P cow. The red is Diamond General 40F, a Diamond Belvedere 29B son out of a Glenford Captain 39X daughter. He is seeing limited use before heading to his new home, a 500...

On both CSA and ASA there is a tab that shows any DNA testing that has been done. It is a really good feature for those wanting to avoid a genetic condition. I think more breeders should insist on these tests for potential herd bulls and especially AI sires. In this bull's case he has been...

Great group of bulls again this year. Link to DLMS.ca to view sale and online bidding. Starts at 1:00 pm MST APRIL 2 https://dlms.ca/AuctionInfo?AuctionId=93635

Some of this years calves. First photo is a Royalla Rockstar K274, second is a Northern Legend 3N and some Rockstars after some snowy weather. Third is photo of some calves sleeping after it warmed up a few days ago.

There is a really good selection of bulls. This guy is I think one of the best ever raised here. I don't select on EPD's but they are another tool in the tool box. He has some EPD's in the top 1% of the breed but actual weights and scan data to back them up. He had a heavier birth weight than...

I think there are a lot of useful bulls, Lot 4 is a pretty neat package. https://www.facebook.com/430066560859137/videos/584114435649191/

There are only a couple of CUP lab technicians in our area. At the present we try to submit BW, WW, YW, Scan info, 50K and DNA tests.....I would add tenederness to the mix but it would have to come with our current scans as there really is a limit to the costs incurred to try and verify your...

As far as I know the border is not closed to trucking of products or livestock but things seem to change daily. On a plus side for American buyers our dollar is nose diving, so $1000 Canadian is now about $700 US. The couple of Firestorms DU has had were easy calving. How and where do you get...

In this crazy world our sales facility was canceled due to the covid 9 virus and now we are an online sale. This bull is one of the lots and wondered if he checks any boxes as steer option. Totally quiet with the best hair coat but that is not my market...

  When I posted the survey I wasn't asking just Shorthorn breeders but any breed. Shorthorn have the two lethal recessive conditions PHA and TH and the genetic conditions DS and myostatin E226X and nt419 but every breed has some genetic conditions and some breeds over 10 conditions. Purebred...

So I seem to have an attraction for bulls that carry genetic defects. That kind of supports that they have a certain structure or appearance that attracts people and helps to propogate the defect. I have reently clicked on some prety attractive bull videos then gone to check out their info to...

Weston Romeo was one of my favourite bulls, I saw him at Weston in 1978 as an aged bull but he still had lots of muscle and very long hip. He was a TPS Coronet Leader 21st son.

That roan calf is impressive, should make someone a hell of a good bull! (clapping)

Huberdale Mastercharge was one of my favourite bulls back in the day. He was a senior herdsire at Saskvalley and shows up in the background of many of their cattle. He is in Saskvalley Ultra 12J's pedigree top and bottom. Saskvalley has done a great job of selecting cattle to suit a very rugged...

I don't think he is. The UK now requires all bull calves to be tested for myostatin before being registered. Australia now requires all imported bulls to be mystatin tested before registering them. I really don't understand why AI sires and herd bulls are not being tested by breeders. If a bull...
