Thanks it’s been a steep learning curve 🤣

Our 2023 herdsires Current Herdsires. We are very excited for this breeding season, and will be also using these AI sires. What is everyone else using?

she’s a really nice heifer with a very interesting pedigree

He went to Uphill Shorthorns in Manitoba.  8H has had a name change to Diamond Royalty 8H as Uphill Shorthorns has the very successful and already established Headliner sire line.

Lot 18 Diamond Hendrix 2H was the high seller at $38,000.00..Ave $5337.00

In my experience ultrasounds through the cup lab are accurate to the carcasses I get through my custom beef program.  As with any data collection (epds) if one doesn’t do all in the contemporary group it skews the results (thus less accurate numbers). 

I have requested the myostatin test for Mandalong Super Flag... if he’s a carrier I will have crow for dinner

Honestly I would think the test would be a very good investment for your knowledge and peace of mind. I personally won’t buy a sire who isn’t tested free of all known defects as a herd bull has so much influence on my program.

He was my pick in the catalog  and videos <beer>

As breeders of cattle in this time we are incredibly lucky to have access to genetics from the past, and present readily accessible through semen and embryos. We also have the ability to mass produce these genetics to try and ensure you get the traits you are aiming for, I personally have...

I haven't used JPJ myself but I have seen that Six S Shorthorns used a JPJ son very successfully on a number of different Canadian bloodlines. The same sire was used on a number of herds in Canada and again the cattle looked great. With this limited knowledge I'd think your daughters would cross...

I didn't see Casino as we went to CWA that year but I did see Canasta as a calf and yearling and he was an outstanding bull.  His dam was one of those great cows which left a lasting impression on me I just loved seeing her.

He did in 2006. Lucky Springs Casino 39P 58S he was also the high seller at RAWF in 2007 for $31,000.  I stole a picture off their website!

We are the only breeders who came back and said hey we have a protocol in place.  We will only sell bulls that are free of all defects.I have attached a study of myostatin that refutes it originated when Shorthorns spread to Europe but instead in the Friesen breed before becoming specialized in...

Actually that example proves that if a carrier is in a pedigree a person should test because they could very well be clean. It also would be impossible to"select" against without testing the current stock! Earlier I mentioned we bought a bull that was clean by pedigree and yet tested positive...

Our own herd personal protocol was established when we acquired a THF bull by pedigree and when we submitted DNA for registration (after using him) found out he was a THC!  Doesn't matter to me where the mix up was the fact was it was devastating for us as we had just finished cleaning up TH in...

I actually took a trip of a lifetime and went to Australia to look at the genetics I am most interested in.  During that trip I got very ill and it turned out I was pregnant and have been one of the lucky women to have hypermesis gravidarum.  Now at 6.5 months along I am starting to feel human...

1) I believe Winalot Big Mac was not collected so there may be no way to test him. This applies to a number of old sires in North America with no proof speculating does nothing to fix the problem, testing is the only way you can.  2) When purchasing genetics one can request tests that are...

When Igenity tests for Myostatin they test for all 9 variants.  We have been testing all of our herd sires and bull calves regardless of bloodline
