    What's your vision of a Grand Champion Steer

    I don't know how you even put it in words. Every few years you round the corner of the staging area in KC and run into one that just makes you say, "my god". They have everything, and can't really be described. Your mind and body actually feels what your eyes are seeing. It doesn't even matter...

    Bulls siring larger frames

    I don't measure my commercial calves, but they were at least two frame scores bigger than the purebred calves I did measure and lacked depth. Much more terminal in appearance muscling wise than what I want to see in potential replacement females. I would assume they went on to make good feedlot...

    Bulls siring larger frames

    Have you tried Cherry Fillet? If you already have fairly moderate cows he will definitely keep the legs from getting too long on them. There was multiple bulls in the 4s and at least 8-10 below a 4.5 in the PVF and Byland sale.

    Bulls siring larger frames

    Marquis 127x and Tradition 106t have both left the frame in them for me. Patent 8161 has put some frame on a few weaned calves for me, but I didn't dare keep any of them to know just how big they were going to get. I assume Crooked Post Stockman would at least leave the frame in a cow if not add...

    "Meant to Be" Bull and "Duello Icon" Bull

    I'd make sure the Simm bull you use on the Primo daughters to make your factory cows carries some milk.

    Let's see some new calves!

    It's been so muddy lately that things are looking pretty rough. 1. The first calf out of my Dividend x Improver/Margie924 bull and a Taylor Made cow. 2. Cherry Fillet x Leader 18th. 3. Hot Commodity x Mandalong Super Flag. 4. Colburn Creed x I80/Shorthorn.

    Flatbed bale beds

    Depends on the flatbed, but some of them sit up higher than a regular truck bed and can cause geometry problems. There's normally just a couple bolts securing the nose of the tubing to the gooseneck ball and 2 or 3 bolts on the rear of the angle iron holding them to the back of the bed. If you...

    Flatbed bale beds

    That's a lot of money just to feed a few cows. Farm auctions occasionally have them around here that often just need new hoses, wiring, or cylinder seals put in. A lot of people threw them in the corners of the shed or in the fencerow when bale beds became popular. Might ask around some of the...

    Flatbed bale beds

    The cannonball beds seemed to be well liked in my area. I'm not sure if they are the same after the company change or not though. You can feed a lot of cows with a $2000 truck and a $250 spear through. I tend to triple digits with an old junk $2k truck with R1s on the rear and a B&W EZ loader...

    Wish list

    Sounds good to me. The recent market manipulation being allowed by the packers has to rank pretty high on my list. What they just pulled should be criminal and past events make it clear they are now confidant they can pull it off any time there is even the slightest of situations to cause concern.

    Houston stock show and rodeo canceled???

    Their lack of respect for human life and use of near slave labor wasn't reason enough for people to care. I'm afraid once this blows over it'll just take a new iPhone announcement, a few cheap trinkets, a new widget, and them buying a little more pork, sbm, and ddgs for everyone to forget.

    Do you check to see if new bull prospects have 50K or Genetice Testing?

    I must have the same affliction. A few of the lines I really appreciate are known carriers and I have some plans of continuing their use in the future. I also know I have used carrier bulls in the past and have tanks full of untested semen that I still enjoy dipping into, so I really need the...

    Breeding recommendations for my shorthorn cows.

    I wish I could say I've had the same experiences as many others claim to have with HC. I've bred him to several heifers based on that reputation and it's bit me multiple times. Each time he didn't remove enough bone and went long on gestation. When I look at those calves, I can see a couple of...

    Breeding recommendations for my shorthorn cows.

    If these were my three cows and they still resemble those pictures, the goal would be to get one functional replacement to keep and a fancy heifer to sell. I'd try Muridale Robert on the 1q cow hoping for the functional replacement female with her modern style. It would be a total outcross...
