"Ida" is not my name. 

Well Mark,  I would NEVER use a frame 4 bull.  Never have, never will.  That creates frame 3 females after the original good genetics have been diluted.  The average cow in my herd is a mid six frame score.  The smallest cow I have is a frame score 5.6 and she won't have another calf here. ...

Nice looking bulls,  Russ!  If it makes any difference to you,  the pedigree information at Digital Beef for JT President 5B is incomplete.  That is because the registration number for his sire, Kaper 4508 is incorrect (CAM478232)  and that results in no information on his dam.  The correct...

Thank you,  Oakview!  We started in 2007 with Native Milking Shorthorn cows and  heifers from Harley Headings,  in Kansas.  We have used two outstanding bulls recently.  First, we used a son of Coalpit Creek Leader 6th which we purchased from Ralph Larson in 2012.  He left good dispositions, ...

Milk EPD values are questionable!

Digital Beef lists 21 calves,  11 with yearling weights.  His genomically enhanced EPD's show well above breed average for CE and BW but well below breed average of WW and YW. 

Big butts = hard calving

Is that Glenford Excaliber 20X?

I'm not sure why I was mentioned as liking apples,  but this is not a bull I would be particularly interested in using!  His EPD numbers are only mediocre and based on almost NO information.  He has a substantial influence from Maine genetics and Trump.  Trump has his own problems independent...

If she consistently returns to heat every 30 days,  this suggests that she is actually getting pregnant but that she is unable to maintain a corpus luteum (CL)  to sustain pregnancy.  The findings of the second Veterinarian that the CL is too small tend to substantiate this assumption.  It is...

GOOD Cows!  Mtnman

Yes,  CAB,  I had seen that graphic and I guess I don't understand how to use it because it looks like the heritability for milk for Angus is 0.12.  Generally speaking,  the Angus cows I see almost all have abundant milk and I had always thought that their milking genetics were of higher...

Heritability for milk yield in dairy cattle is about 0.30 but not sure how it is for beef cattle.  However,  I was raised with Native Milking Shorthorns and I know that you can spend a lifetime building milking production in that breed and destroy it all with a single unfortunate breeding...

I will take a stab at this.  Coalpit Creek Leader 6th daughters all milked well with very good udders and were tremendous mothers.  The son we used, bred by Ralph Larson,  also carried the same traits.    I have had only one daughter of Kamilaroi Meat Packer,  so take this for what it is...

I think it is extremely interesting how a person who is 95 years old with terminal cancer can die and the credit is given to corona virus!    The numbers of new cases mysteriously spiked in Kentucky just after protests against the state mandated lock-downs.  Don't you think there may have just...

I can't answer the question of what age cows loose teeth.  I just know that I regularly find teeth in the mangers like your picture where my cows from 18 months to 14 years are eating.  Never associated this with any problem. 

Some important things that have been revealed.  First,  trampling all over our constitutional rights is occurring  and few are raising any objections.  In spite of assurances to the contrary,  we won't get them all back.  The gov't seldom gives back anything it has taken.  Secondly,  the...

What joint are you actually talking about.  Hocks or Fetlocks?
