so yeah, double dabla, but then that's what midas is (at least on top of pedigree)

and other bulls.

and this bull


instead of making midas' sire a double dabla with one being deeper in the pedigre, above animals allow a double dabla in the same spot with two different combinations, with all 3 animals being reasonably thick. who knows if milk will suffer which usually does with thickness.

another sad point with maine's is that a few of them had the bull red alert in them, polleroid, limited edition, sooner, all 4 of which had no milk.

of course, some will mention they had the exception, but they would be rare.

so going back and eliminating known bad animals or defects from pedigrees is the goal while also making something thick with satisfactory or more milk.

might be impossible, but oh well. the pieces (embryo's) are in place

maybe make something like draft pick without the PHA but retain the thickness without it.

Maybe without cunia as well. it would tough.

Cumberland with various maine out of Studley and a Top Graft G daughter of one of the first Cumberland doners : Miss D Cumberland.. Studley and Top Draft both had way more maine in them than was listed. She worked hard: in Deertrail conditions but still weghed over 1700 there, and GOOD BWS. Her first calves were twin hiefers and she broke her shoulder It was pretty sad to starve her to keep the wight off and raise both one of which was undefaeated in every class at all the national deals two years running including Denver with a 4 month old calf. She had one useful son among several national show girls who was sired by a Sonny out of the Chelcie-of Stecks Doner of National Champions To the uninitiated Chelcie was a really cool light roan out of Double vision and a Draftpick cow . The bull-Top Fuel was as good a commercially oriented bull as Ive produced

He reminds me some of Manitous E Bay-Sired some deep ribbed good sized calves in thier recent sale His Go Daddy and Focus bulls didnt excite me until I saw the lot 18 and 19 heifers. Lot 18 is a knock out stone raving great one -Or its the freakiest best picture taken in years.

The maines paved the way and dont get credit due for alot of cool cattle like that-You dont have to like them-Especially since this is a STEER SITE.-Ive seen alot of thick cattle like that that are great cows-As far as them being "sows" ITS a cattle thing dude-you have to be from the country LOL

yeah, found out she doesn't breed or loses calves. too funny. maybe her brisket has too much fat. i guess it takes a country bumpkin to ruin heifers by over feeding them so their briskets are fatter than a finished steer.

maybe you do know more than everyone. your sales sure look like it.
