A&T Cattle Co. partners with JT Moreland Farms! Major Announcement!

[JTM]

Extremely excited to announce the multi year partnership between A&T Cattle Co. from Hay Springs, Nebraska and JT Moreland Farms, Camden, Ohio. We just took delivery of the bulk of the A&T Shorthorn herd in Ohio this morning! What an exciting opportunity for us and Shorthorn enthusiast in the region. One of the best commercial Shorthorn herds can now be accessed easily for those in the east. This is a short term partnership formed due to the extreme drought and wild fires that have plagued Western Nebraska. Another very exciting addition to the partnership is the use of GS&J Captain Rob 3x. He is an exciting, up and coming A&T Captain Obvious son out of Lakeside Supergirl 811U (RS DV729 01 034 04 x RS Girl 57th). Stay tuned for opportunities to obtain offspring from these great genetics including our Unlimited Potential Sale this October, 12th in Camden, Ohio!

I attached a fall yrling photo of Girl 811, the dam to Captain Rob. She is on the far right.  Aaron should have a photo of Captain Rob.  I saw the bull two yrs ago at A&T and he looked pretty cool then, I did video him .

We will be putting him out with the cows here shortly and I will see if I can get a picture of him soon. I believe he has been collected if anyone is interested they can contact A&T Cattle Co. All I know is that the couple of calves that I have seen of his are awesome looking. He a goodin!

What an awesome deal. I wish the best for all involved and I bet your cup runs over. Goodluck. (clapping) (thumbsup)

Lovin that!  What's the bloodlines on those cows?  Do you have to use that bull or could you use one of your choice? Renegade? Even Star Bucks maybe? SB might add a little femininity/angularity to them?

 

[mark tenenbaum]

I agree-or try some different aI-youve got a low bW base where the combo might be pretty cool-Id like to see some reasonable old Fullblood on some of them. O0

 

[JTM]

More than likely I will put Renegade on the cows for a time along with Captain Rob. I am going to continue with the program that A&T has built on for the few years that I have them. I believe they are on to something big by focusing on multiple traits. I will continue to use Star Bucks on other cows but will more than likely keep the A&T cattle more closely linebred to enhance the seedstock appeal.

 

[RyanChandler]

Linebred to what?

 

[sjcattleco]

JTM.. I am sure by now Aaron has told you about our bull deal.  If you get the chance to get a pic or 2 on the bull calf that he sent you i would love to see him..  We would like to make some plans to come to your place to see them around July 2 or 3.

Sounds like a great deal to work with Aaron and get them through the drought.  I have a different type of question-- I've been told that bringing western cows east will cause them to have a hard time adjusting, but taking eastern cows west is easy..... any thoughts?  What I have been told is the difference in the grass-- eastern grass is not as good as the western gama grasses, etc. they have in Neb., SD, WYO, etc.  That the western cows used to eating that protein rich gama grass don't adjust well to the eastern grass?

That's interesting. I would actually believe that it would be the opposite. I'm pretty familiar with grasses and have personally planted nearly 100 acres of native grasses here in Ohio for use in our cattle program. My understanding is that the gamagrass and other summer or native grasses are lower in protein than our grasses here in Ohio. We also have a lot of white and red clover and alfalfa that really boosts the protein up there. I have actually had more of a problem with too much protein in my cattles diet rather than not enough. So far they are doing really well. I made the comment to Aaron that they already look great after 4 or 5 days. Look filled out already. A lot of that is the clover probably bloating them a little but I have given them some straw to help them adjust.

sjcattle, yes, very pleased to have heard from Aaron about that! Look forward to your visit. Just let me know the week before or something. I don't quite have all the details figured out but if you want to email me we can discuss this further. Thanks!

Linebred to what?

XBAR, I was thinking of lining up the DRC 244 MU. She is the granddam of both Captain Rob and Renegade. Then I could use one of the Renegade sons on any of the daughters also.

The "biggie" would be the one-two punch of Humidity, and the ergovaline which is present in endopyte-infected KY-31 tall fescue.

The nice thing is that all of my pastures are 95% fescue free. The only fescue we have are from the waterways that were already present. All of my pastures are brand new in the last 10 years. These cows are on 75% Orchard grass and 25% ladino white clover. The humidity will certainly be an adjustment for them.
