    Birth weight epds and such

    I agree birth weight is important but I really think people should be looking at CED, CEM and $CEZ as well. There was a discussion on IGS that the system can identify people that are guessing weights, they all fall in a narrow group like 78 to 80 lbs. I think that happens a lot and IGS may start...

    Genetic defects

    Here are a couple of Bison we saw at Elk Island Park on a drive through last September. They evidently have a herd of Plains Bison and herd of Wood Bison but I have no idea which herd was in the section we drove through. There were several bulls along the road and a larger herd of cows and...

    bull sales

    i had no idea that a few breeders had so much of the bull market! They must be doing a lot of things right,their advertising to reach potential customers must be spot on target and they must rely on a lot of repeat customers!

    Shorty hf bulls

    One of the bulls we used on yearling heifers this year, Diamond Empire 6E a son of Diamond Lord Belmore 56B and out of a Diamond Urban Legend 28U daughter. His dam is one of those trouble free cows that produces and raises a good one very year. He has some good numbers to go with his phenotype...

    Rose of Sharon family and Baron Victor

    Isn't that heifer posted above by Medium Rare a purple roan especially later when she's in winter coat? I consider the Supreme Champion All Breeds bull and Grand Champion at Agribition, Hill Haven Fire Storm, a purple roan as well as Diamond Minnie Blossom 43B posted here. Maybe I have a...

Plus in just this 4 generation pedigree she has three other direct descendants of Rose of Sharon. Rosa's Command 91 with two crosses, Commander Plus 88 twice. If...

    Is that a Mandalong Super Flag? Whatever she is she is an awesome looking calf. We have a four year old Mandalong Super Flag ET cow that has been doing a good job here for us. Pictured here last winter and a few weeks ago with a bull calf by a son of Balmoral Oaks Eagle 9X.

    2018 Herd Bull Line Up

    Thanks, Escapade has had "the look" from the start. I think he ticks a lot of boxes and has some nice muscle expression(he's tested free of myostatin variants too so that's a plus in my mind) Here is one of the first bull calves by the Dynamite 6D bull and out of a two year old Saskvalley...

    It is actually the blending of traits I find valuable with some of the older genetics. In my opinion no breeder does it better than Muridale! Look at the calving ease EPD's on Muiridale Hero 31Z! Top 1% of the breed for CED, BW, CEM, $CEZ plus top 5% for $BMI. Those are genomic enhanced EPD's as...

    I am not sure if there are any other native Shorthorn females up here, possibly some more Haumont females. These heifers were not AI'ed this year but the plan is to flush them to some native bulls next year.

    Jaimie in partnership with Hatfield Shorthorns recently imported HS Rosabell 596th and HS Rosabell 599th (also HS Lilac Lady H. 309th). Their ancestry has been in Nebraska for almost 100 years. From the Haumont herd they are members of the Rosabell cow family that traces back to the imported...
