I think I'm an equivalent To Heat Wave without all the hair. I think Lautner would have promoted me as a slick steer sire.

so Telos- are you a carrier?

Middle aged bull. Seen some wear. Hair is thinning but it is not lice or ringworm. Once was showy with lots of hair- shag if you will. Will eat anytime anywhere and is always in line first for grain.  Long bodied carries a little extra in the middle but not bad. Weight Could be taken off easily with some change in feed ration.Moves slower than most but usually tracks pretty wide and is sound on his feet. Can be unpredictable at times but is easy to handle when is out of control. Likes to keep a close eye on the herd. Spent a lot of money to keep this one running so can afford to sell. Probably would make a nice tax right off and decent hamburger patties. was only ever used as a clean up bull and never collected.

Well let me see. I guess I would be large framed, hard doing, small uddered,with a bad temper. How did I do cowz, never been on a judging team.

You did good!  If you and I were in the same pasture munching grass together, we would probably owned by a sale barn trader!  You would be the frame score 8 Chianina cow and I would be the frame score 5, early maturing,  Dexter cow.
You would jump clean over the fence and me, with my short Scottish legs, would have to crawl under!!!!  Hahaha

Well, I might be a curve bender - so far I've consistently sired real low birth weights (short gestation, too). My offspring appear to be a little later maturing, but since I prob'ly frame score a high 6 or low seven, and have lots of volume and capacity, they should have plenty of growth potential...

Never promoted, hated by some, loved by some, over-looked by most. Not appreciated until it was too late!

coming 2 year old bull, simmental, maybe a little fleckvieh influence (gets kinda leathery up front) good shouldered, deep bodied and practical through his rib. big footed but wants to toe in a bit.  feeds well, not efficient (high RFI), needs to be leaned up considerably, no progeny yet, but recently put in with first (and hopefully only) herd of one cow.  never busts out or gets loose.  has poor heat and fescue tolerance.

Bellerin' SOG that gets on your nerves, bugling like an elk. Always challengeing fences. Constantly in ''Phlemen Response", but, the only receptive females are across two fences, a Holler, a rain-swollen creek, a bluff & a highway.

About a 6 year old bull. Proven producer of outstanding phenotypical females ( much to dads dismay) Reasonable calving ease sire, about a 6 frame score. Excellent hair (red like my cows!) and wide through the chest floor but tends to be a little off on the hind wheels (bow legged). Active sire still in use (a little boy due in July!) but no semen available on the open market at this time. RW

I am an ornery old cuss.  Shouldn't turn your back on me.  Might show you I could still get you.  In the summer you can find me under a big shade tree and in the winter in the back of the barn where it is dry and out of the wind.  Most everyone thinks i was pretty good in my day, but they feel that I still could be pretty good in the right scenario.  I am getting a little weak in the back but I am ready for action when the call of duty calls.  I like tall pastures with tender blades of grass and grain with molasses.  I get around fine in the morning and look pretty good, but by evening i am moving a little farther behind the crowd.  The hair is still good and I still like going to the show.  My gene pool has produced real sound females.  They are high headed and very pretty.  Bulls in the neighbors pasture are always looking over the fence but not sure they want to take me on.  I am always looking for that low tree limb to scratch my back.  Still don't like shots and can get a little tempermental when the walls close in on me as I go through the chute.  But all is well when it is done for I will kick you as I leave the chute and head for my favorite shade tree. 
As for cattle terms, When you get my age, there are not many good terms, but the memories are worth a thousand words.

:D

Hehe, I can hardly write this.

I'm an older white faced cow, kinda on the pudgy side but still have good legs, Im the bossy of the barnyard and proud of it.  Ive been a fertile mertle over the years but am on the
downhill side of the fertile part.  I dont have any horns but sure act like I do, i feel really spunky when the weather is good.  Im the first at the bunk and the last to leave.
I used to be a spoiled rotten show heifer so I still follow you everywhere you go in the pasture, especially if you are carrying a bucket of fencing material.  As soon as I hear the
door slam in the morning Im standing at the fence mooing.  I hate to go through the shoot for anything so I have to have a halter put on just to get me in the working pen.
I love to have calves but hate to part with them.  Overall Im one of the best. (lol)
