How big was Kolt 45 at maturity?

Who took this measurement? Those figures would have the bull plumb off the charts.

The shorthorn sale put up some stout figures.

I was hoping this podcast would make it here. Not many people realize what 145 did for the show calf industry. I spent a lot of time dolling her and the place up for this cell phone picture, so don't hate on me too much, but this is what these things look like in today's world. She's a 4 year...

Is the popularity of the myostatin genes a direct result of the processors selecting the judges, who then select the type of cattle, that win in the show ring?

I'm not sure they would be. Unfortunately, a lot of shorthorn owners probably need to be, or want to be, told what to buy and the majority would not be interested in the eggs from an unknown outsourced cow line. Take those F1-7/8ths registered daughters, get a good picture, breed them to a bull...

No, I meant to IVF with after she's bred. I wouldn't breed a heifer to any of the above and definitely not an old pedigree FB Maine heifer.

The Primo cross sounds interesting and he's about as proven as it gets anymore. Toe length on a shallow heel bothers me a little with him, but her foot structure looks like she'd be able to handle it. Blacklist had a lot of fans and is affordable in sexed heifer semen. He has worked on a couple...

I was told the bull had a health issue. It was more specific than most normal rumors are, but I didn't bother to confirm it. His semen has appeared to be selling in several sales for a healthy figure. It's been a while since there has been that kind of demand for a shorthorn bull on that side...

What are your plans for this heifer and what is her pedigree?

I inquired back when that post was made. Never got a response.

This is the bull I was going to mention. He impressed a lot of people in person, but I haven't ran into any calves though.

I read it when it first came out, but was left with way more questions than answers and should probably read it again. Angus is not a WHR organization. How does that affect this epd comparison? I believe Marc has Angus and Hereford as being in the top 4?? breeds for mature cow size. If we...

I didn't buy anything, but it was nice to see that bunch have a strong sale.

We don't even apply this standard to our own species while making life altering decisions.

The Missouri Shorthorn Association online sale is tomorrow the 29th. For those interested in supporting the Jr. program the sale includes several semen lots being donated to funding the Jr. Nationals in Kansas City. Sale link. https://auctions.thewendtgroup.com/auction/14887 Catalog link...

No one wants to be a cop anymore and gas went up $.39 cents here this afternoon. ... mission almost accomplished?

Lot 19 sure looks nice!
