wiseguy said:My brother called me Saturday to discuss the bulls. He said Lot 5, 6, and 18 were his picks worth the money. Then he told me some of the bulls framed 4.3 to 4.9. That is just to small for us, maybe not for people with 7 -8 frame hard doing cows. But to small for us.
aj said:Darn....looked like lot 5 sold pretty reasonable.....I had him marked. Lauer breeding pretty heavy in some of the lots.
75% of jpj appears in all shorthorn pedigrees. its fair to say ohlde has a hold on the breed?Chandler said:aj said:Darn....looked like lot 5 sold pretty reasonable.....I had him marked. Lauer breeding pretty heavy in some of the lots.
25 of the bulls have no JSF breeding at all. None more than 2 generations deep. Odd considering their website says they started in '53.

When you do , make sure you have a website that at least gives the impression your a legitimate operation. Ohlde's is.. well... It looks like its from a template I made in 5th grade. Maybe I'm jus too new school but when I hear of something at the top, I expect to be able to find some kind of online presence.trevorgreycattleco said:jpj is in 75% of all pedigrees.

First angus, then shorthorn. That guy beat me to it by 20 years. Oh well, I will just have to be the guy who did it after Ohlde <rock>

purchased sires, purchased dams, grand parents, etc...
no true vision of breeding program that keeps it's own females/ sires.. and has success with them.

i disagree. i think they have 20/20 vision! most used sire in the breed. ability to haul 50+ head to denver and put on a successful sale. etc. etc. etc. having true vision is also realizing that there are other lines in the breed besides your own that can really click with what you are doing, incorporating those lines, and drawing those followers into your style as well...actually pretty brilliant if you ask me...what better way to increase popularity by showing how versatile your sire is and how he can work on different cow families (for you aj if you only put out to the public cattle that have to have your stuff top and bottom, you are limiting the usefulness of your own genetics...jpj didnt get to be popular by only offering jpj x jpj or jpj x whatever jungels said....he's popular because he's jpj x whatever you want!
and just because you didnt see generations (stacked) of jungles/oldhe in this one particular sale, doesnt mean its not there...it just wasnt as pronounced in this one particular event...but why should it be? its denver! everyone who's anyone and has anything will be there (ill get there one day, lol maybe) anyway, what im trying to say is you've got a "diversified" audience at your convenience, show cattle people, commercial cattlemen, big boys, little girls, john doe, canadians, aussie's, etc, etc, etc...and you have something to offer for just about everyone...instead of trying to force your sire x your cow down peoples throats...
pretty easy vision to see if you ask me...
