hence, cows like this, and flush to old horned bulls. rinse repeat with offspring, then polled polled bulls, submit dna to 150k test and offset cunia in the data base for diversity of markers and association with traits like source of dystocia, carcass traits, performance traits. epds not...

Polling has a couple bad effects. Weaker hips/rear end, tubular structure and relaxed prepuce. Polled herefords went through this.

I’ll bet there is less than 50 horned parentage verified fullbloods in the Canadian association without polling in their background. These types of animals almost no longer exist in American association.

The best thing to do with old fullblood semen is use it on parentage verified fullbloods. Then collect bulls, then use on cows like you want. Anything else, is a waste.

what about TH?

i think the reason people are going back to some fullbloods, is to go black again without twin creek etulason, cunia, etc., because the fullbloods that were ignored because they weren't tall enough, chi looking that one could create something again. granted it will take 4-5+ generations to...

The power plant lameness issues are on here from other people and second comments he was extremely lame at stud. Nothing more, nothing less. The few pics of him show inflamed hocks. Maybe he wasn’t quite sound enough to jump so many times or he got injured. Who knows. Someone does.

i've shrunk down steers 150lbs before in the old days. so much so their skin was wavy. was quite the trend back in the day. it's to make it easier for judges to place animals that look 100lbs more than they should against an animal that isn't shrunk as much, if at all by entry level...

if you get the test, they usually tell you which version. https://www.beefshorthorn.org/beef-shorthorn-news/2018/11/13/double-muscling-myostatin-and-the-beef-shorthorn There are nine known variants of the myostatin mutation: C313Y common in the Piedmontese E291X common in the Marchigiana...

A double muscled calf that has parents that don’t look double muscled are both carriers. Couple ways to deal with it. Only use tested clean bulls, if using unknown bulls, and cows are unknown, test the calves you think you might want to keep that don't exhibit the trait. Many times...

Woodyc, is the steer double muscled? and if so, is that on purpose?

i did see cowtown in a pasture with some cows and a couple of others similary bred. i can't remember if cowtown was a clone of a winning steer, but whatever that bull's name was, i saw that one too. a professor at a college in Texas was leasing bulls. seemed to have a pretty good program. i...

Piedmontese do this with a single copy of the double muscling gene and are also lean. the mutation is way downstream in the protein compared to the mutation in other breeds, so the protein has an intermediate effect with a single copy. the other breed's mutation doesn't work (make it tender)...

an old poster on here, chambero, used to think so. i don't have enough exposure to them to know. i've seen a lot of graded cattle on the hook (hundreds) of all types and breeds which is not possible anymore, including show calves, but the show calves were mostly they were underfed for a variety...
