I think you mean Rusty Merideth, and his brother, at Merideth Land and Cattle. They've collected quite a few well bred animals over the last few years. Corrected spelling on the last name.

Watched from home, but I thought the sale went well and it sounded like bulls went in all directions. I believe Times Square brought $50k.

It's been around a long time. I don't know anyone who used it and is still a believer. A well know genetics company has used it on some conventional flushes for customers over the years and a few years ago they couldn't come up with a single successful referral in their database.

Most farmer/feeders I know want to blow right on by 1,400lbs in order to make money. They'd be begging the bankers to bail them out of a really deep hole if they fed a pen that ran out of steam at 1,000lbs. There was a decent podcast awhile back about this subject and if it was time to at least...

I tried, but did not end up with a calf. I think I still have a straw of two of sexed heifer Moto Moto I hope to use in the future.

I noticed him as a stand out on the video as well and would like to try him on a few in the future, so I hope it's made available. Totally different pedigree, but I think the bull you bought semen on in last night's sale is fairly underrated.

It appears a Native homozygous F94L bull calf has recently been identified, so it appears to be readily available if a program is looking to add the gene to it's population.

Is there a stand alone database where animal pedigrees and defect status can be browsed or is this dependent upon the ASA and breeders maintaining dual registrations?

Are there any new 1/2 blood shorthorn clubby bulls out there? Looking for a very clean front, decent spine length, and a touch of frame to go with all the other good stuff.

If this is the direction people start going to get what today's puds need, it's going to be really interesting watching some of today's kids try to show those 90s Chi calves. The parental rants on facebook when they unload them off the trailer after buying them in some online sale half way...

Patent was tested in Canada and is listed as an E226x carrier.

So far, 20 females and 28 bulls have results posted in the US database. Compared to 283 females and 452 bulls posted in the Canadian database. It looks like several of the US results were actually entered by Canadian breeders. It's crazy how one little line on a map can have so much...

I had a Yukon bull calf out of a non show ring shorthorn. He added muscle mass and expression from end to end. I try not to sell very many bulls, but he caught the eye of everyone who stopped to look and if he hadn't had a white patch above his flank on one side he would have sold much quicker...

Goose and Sonny appear to be non certificate bulls. Da Vinci Code does not have all his tests, so you're looking at blood testing the calf and getting ahold of the owner for a certificate. The other option would be talking the owner into making him AI sire qualified. I sure wish they'd just go...

Did you buy the Capone too?

I believe they called it a $2,211 average. If I heard them right, KL Confiidence sold for $4,250.

I wondered who bought it and what they knew about the bull. My searches came up empty, but if you hadn't bid I was going to blindly add it to my FB Maine bank.

Every crippled ds calf I've seen had a confirmed or possible PHA carrier parent.

I always liked to use a 1/4 to 1/2 acre or so paddock that I kept grazed down tight with heifers during the day. Good clean dry turf the steers could try to graze on, but really couldn't get any grass out of it. A lot of people use dirt lots that they keep loose and clean so it's soft on their...

I was wondering if the steer had been held back for maturing reasons, to try to hit a certain show date, or if his weight was just a result of his actual ability. Without knowing the calf, I guess I'd suggest giving him a more consistent routine. Finishing fats, be it in the real world or the...
