[Freddy]

Just in formation on Carpe Diem , calving ease ,an how they sold down south .

 

[BAILEYFARMS]

They sell good. getting ready to breed a herford hfr to him and full a yellow jacket cow to him.

 

[j3cattleco]

Kroupa uses him on heifers.  He is definately catching steam for colored cattle down south.

 

[cookcattleco]

Trausch Farms have Aquired semen interest and a posession on him.  You might give Chris Wilson a call for loads of info.

 

[afhm]

The ones I have seen are stout boned, heavy muscled and good haired.  He is THC.

 

[Show Steaks]

My uncle used him on heifers to get baldy calves. calves came samlle and have nice fronts and stout

 

[shortdawg]

The only thing I know about him is I think he is the real deal.

 

[chambero]

Are yall talking about the Hereford-looking bull?  I saw him sell.  I think he brought around $12K unless I have my wires crossed. 

 

[shortdawg]

That's him

 

[DLB]

Has anyone seen Carpe Diem on Charolais or Charolais cross females?  What would you expect from a color stand point.  Any information is appreciated.

 

[Freddy]

I have used him extensively and have a nice set of hereford marked females that will calve in the fall sired by him.  Their bull mates sold good and were successful in the show ring.  One was shown 10 times and was never less then reserve breed champion and that is where he landed at the majors.  We have a set of ETs coming again this fall of the same mating and are really excited about them.  He puts a great look in his cattle with extra hair and style.  I will continue to use him.  I just wished I knew they were interested in selling possesion.  The only down fall would be his carrier status.  Good luck!

Does he breed true to pattern on straight hereford?

 

[herf96]

We have only mated him to purebreds (unpapered but pure none the less).  He marks them pretty well.  He has a tendancy to throw some pigment so I would stay with some clear eyed cows unless you do not care about pigment.  If you have to meet classification guidelines then he may throw to much pigment with cows that already have some.  Most of ours were clear eyed with a couple having more than necessary.  He really makes great looking cattle.  They are hairy, good bodied and sound.  He would work severly different ways.  I am intersted in getting his daughters in production.  He will throw some rednecks again if you do not mind than that is fine.  He will also put feathers on so just hit and miss, but nothing to crazy.
