He is a TH carrier correct?


Not sure, I didn't ask.  Frankly he Is two calf crops from me using him.    In the future though unless you KNOW he is, ask, "is he a THC?"  Or is he clean or what is THC status?    The shuttle shift of wording implies that you think he is which maybe is the case, but some one else may read it wrong and believe something that is not known as fact.  Not just on here but in life, choose words to eliminate the chance of misunderstanding

I saw this bull walk in to the display last night and was not a fan. Very small, no nutted, and had trouble moving out seemed to me, very small footted. But was very hairy and seemed to have some natural muscle shape.

Keep in mind he is a late April baby so he's given away 2-3 months of growth compared to alot of the other bulls there.  May be a good answer for the larger framed simmi or maine cows that are out there.  Definetly a terminal sire though.

from the pics of him in the yards, he looks a little hard gutted, some might argue that it is because he is standing stretched out, I would wonder if her is stretched because he is a bit straight off both ends. hard to say from a pic

He is actually a may according to their Facebook page.  Explains frame and nuts if he is giving up 2-3 months

How's he moving off that front end?

The one picture makes him look really straight.  Is he deeper in person than he looks in the picture?

This could be  true. or they could have had a lot of snow out that way and not "found" him to the end of april first of may

He is a younger calf and he has more guts than the pictures show. Good calf just real young.

That may have been one of the dumbest things I have ever heard....

Carlson, what did you breed all your cows to last year after all the questions a year ago? When are they due? Depending on those calves that would help with breeding decisions I would think. Did you ever get any of your cows tested?

I would also be curious how his embryo transplant program turned out where he was going to implant eggs in May into 16 recips that calved in April.
