You really hit the nail on the head. The shorthorn breed seems to have an over abundance of breeders that can't resist critisizing the breed or other breeders on a multi breed forum no less. I can't remember any other breed doing this and can't figure out why they keep doing it! There are all...

Our cattle are getting a treat today, warming up to 34 F after being down close to minus 30F  the last while.But that is typical of here, the record high on Dec. 18th was 66 F in 1954 and the record low was minus 34 F in 1955! Climate change and global warming must have been extreme in the 50's ...

I am often mystified by the negativity about syndicated bulls. I have never been a part of a syndicated bull but it seems a sensible way to market a bull and actually make money. Collecting a bull is not an inexpensive venture and often involves many years of developing a bull. some seem to...

Hays Converters were incorporated under the Live Stock Pedigree Act in 1975 but the development of the breed started in 1959. As with many of the smaller breeds they have had trouble expanding their base. I don't beleive they have had a lot of promotion. I saw a herd eight years ago and they...

We often talk about EPD's and forget that they are formulated to take into account environment. This week our cows and weaned calves have minus 30 wind chills to contend with. Some of you reading this will still have cows out grazing and they might do so for the rest of the winter. Very few of...

We used an ET son of Painteart Rama 53U and we are really happy with his calves. Here are a couple. I think several Rama sons are working well in other herds.The heifer photo was taken on pasture this fall, no creep and mother's milk on a pretty poor pasture. The bull calf photo was taken last...

He is looking really good. We had some ET calves by Balmoral Oaks Eagle 9X this year too and are planning on using this guy on some of our yealing heifers. His birth weight was 87 out of a big Simmie/Shorthorn recip. Photo was taken way last August. I think with the light birth weights our...

Congratulations, looking good! (thumbsup) <beer>

I have no idea why it now says restricted, it didn't earlier in the week. It still gives the EPD's for his calves. Like his daughter in the sale shows up,Diamond Darling Baroness 9D. It shows some calves under progeny that were entered in the last week and their EPD's show up! He has been...
