High Pockets was a red & white Simmental carried by Select Sires in the 80's.  We had a few cows out of him.  Tall and leggy like they wanted back then, craziest cows we ever had on the farm!  I was young, dumb, and liked a good challenge back then, but I wouldn't put up with them for a minute now!

Keystone International Livestock Exposition (KILE) club calf sale next saturday, Oct. 8, at Harrisburg, PA. &  Penn State Block & Bridle Club Calf Sale mid Oct.  State College, PA are two that are coming up soon.  Sunrise Club Calves and Wise Club Calves in Northwest PA are already over for this...

We have had several monkey mouth calves out of Heatseeker and Heatseeker daughters, so could be where it comes from, but have had them from many other club calf sires also.  Is monkey mouth a simple recessive trait like TH or PHA, or is it more complicated than that.  We have had some very...

How much did they weigh?  What would you estimate their frame size to be?

We are located in western PA.  Our sale is coming up Sunday, Sept. 12.  We have 20 steers halter broke and ready to go.  Being a grandma, I understand the importance of having one that is "grandchild gentle".  I spend a lot of time with the calves, and can recommend several that would be perfect...

Our First Choice Sale is coming up Sunday, Sept. 12.  We are located in Western Pennsylvania. We have produced many Champions, including several State Fair Champions.  Base prices on steers are from $700 to $1500, heifers and bulls are based $600 and up.  Last year our high selling calf went for...

Are you absolutely sure he is not drinking from mom?  I find that a calf that absolutely won't suck is probably not hungry enough!  Seperate him from mom (and don't feed him) for eight to twelve hours, let them back together and watch closely.  If he shows no sign of trying to suck from mom, try...

We have had more red than black calves out of crossbred black cows.  Really nice calves, but will get some color.  Most of the reds also had some white on them.  We've had about a dozen calves out of him over four years.

Several years ago we had a lim x angus cow AI bred to a roan shorthorn bull.  When she was 16 days past the AI due date and still hadn't calved I was resigned to the fact that she would have a calf by the angus cleanup bull.  Surprised was an understatement when she had a 94 lb red neck roan on...

I was also surprised to have a lot of red and red/white calves out of Dr. Who.  We have also had quite a few red Witch Dr. calves over the years, so that must be where it comes from.  Our 70 cow herd is predominantly black, only 3 or 4 red cows.  On the Who Made Who, I have always heard he is...

Okay, I'm kind of intrigued by the possibility of using show type Lowline bulls on some of the too big, framey cows.  My concerns though are economical.  How much is semen per unit on Doc Holiday or other show type Lowline bulls?  Most show calf herds are on the small side, so, is semen...

Justme, good luck on getting test results by Dec 1!  I sent ours in mid August, and still haven't heard a word.  Called about a month ago, wanted results before our sale, but nothing yet at that time.  When I heard about the whole curly calf mess with the angus I figured that is what has them so...

I'm not sure if you would consider western Pennsylvania near enough to you, but we have lots of nice steers and heifers that could work for you.  Our sale is Sunday September, 7.  We have 36 steers, 19 heifers, seven bulls, and ten bred cows in the sale.  We try to keep our prices quite...

We have three blue roan steers sired by Sin City, and several other black and white steers by Sun Seeker and Dr. Who.  We have 36 home bred steers and 19 heifers in our sale Sunday, September 7.  Prices are very reasonable, starting at $700 for steers. :o  We are located in western PA and have...

We have had a spastic paresis calf out of a Heatwave daughter, so it is probably in his genetic background.  I'd guess it is in many club calf bloodlines.  I've seen them out of Heatseeker, Who Made Who, Witch Dr., Who's Your Daddy, and probably a few others I can't think of right now.  It would...

Frank the Tank is a PHA carrier.  A good friend is a part owner, so we decided to give him a try on some angus cows that need powered up.  He was not on display at Ohio Expo, but was there long enough to go from one trailer to another on his way from being collected in MO, to spring possesion in...

Sun Seeker, Dr. Who, Hannibal, Who Made Who, Witch Dr., Money Man, Tyson, Star Power, Monopoly, Naughty Pine, Heatseeker & Frank the Tank, on cows. BC Lookout, TC Freedom, OCC Legend, Northern Gun, and GAR Integrity on heifers.

When our grandson was about four we took him to the fair to watch the steer show.  He had spent many hours with me, since he was a baby, checking cows for heat so that we could AI them.  At the steer show one of the steers tried to mount another steer in the show ring.  Eli stood up pointed and...

I'm pretty sure that JFK was sired by Power Plant out of a Total Play cow.  Similar breeding to many of the popular bulls of that time - Witch Dr. & Foreplay to name a couple.  I have never had a problem with TH or PHA in any of these bloodlines, and I have used them heavily with Heat Seeker and...

I'm with you! Never saw a leftover snicker (or anything chocolate) around these parts! (lol)
