I was checking some cows last night and I noticed how my bull was keeping them in a group and would not let one stray off. I thought it was interesting behavior and was wondering why some bulls do that.

Wow. What about "Wortham Lectures in Animal Science". It appears too be much cheaper, but how does the information in this book stack up too "Man Must Measure"?

It looks too me that “Man Must Measure” by Dr Bonsma is the book I am referring too. Google didn’t bring up any sites to buy it from. Does anyone have an ideas where I can pick up a copy?

I have been trying to find a book that has been mentioned here quite a few times but I can’t for the life of me remember the author or title. From what I understand it was written by an old guy that correlated physical appearance of cattle to fertility and other traits. I think he was a grass...

I can get some videos of him moving later when the ground is not so hard. I think he moves well, his rear legs track well in relation to the tracks left by his front legs, he doesn’t appear to be choppy. Having said that I haven’t evaluated nearly as many cattle as some of you. My neighbor...

I may be looking to hard but it appears my 2 year old bull is developing a roached up back in the last 1/3 of his top line. I started to notice it a few months ago after he injured his front shoulder and I have to treat him for a fairly large abscess on it. He lost quite a bit of body...

As you should do with any bull. Some people here act like my Angus bull turned into a Simmental bull :help:

Bob told me that this is just the second time in his 10 years that a parentage has been wrong and it was of no fault of SAV it was a clerical error in the flush at Trans Ova, the guy that implanted these set of cattle should have only had President x 4548 embryos. I can't justify spending $15k...

I don't breed till June. So you would demand a refund on a bull that only changed names on the direct sire, nothing else in the pedigree even changed? Not to mention I never said I specifically wanted a President bull. Hell I wasn't even there to bid on him, I just told Kelly what I wanted in...

I don't wanna return the bull, I think he is a great looking bull. I would be upset if the top side of the pedigree would've been completely different, but the only change is President to Rainfall. I would've had to rethink my breeding plan in a very short amount of time. In my postings on...

I talked to Bob this morning and it was a mess up at Trans Ova, they flushed my bulls dam to President and Rainfall. The only difference I can see between President and Rainfall is Rainfall has more calving ease.

I have just found out this President bull happens to be a Rainfall bull instead, per the Angus GS parentage test.

I'm jealous of that steer and your weather...

I'm curious as to what you mean by this?

I’m strongly considering using V910 this year. Do you have any heifers/cows out of him? Pictures would be nice.

I've always been told nuts, guts, and buts when picking out a bull. He certainly checks all of those boxes, fantastic looking animal. I don't know enough about red angus epds to comment on those.

That's the kind of cows I want to raise....

That was my though as well, but I don't know anything about this breed.

V910s daughters look a little tall in the Origen photos. Is that something you are seeing?

What do you guys think about AIing my current angus cows to EXT II or New Design 878, trying to get some females for him to bred in the future. I have never used either of them, I know EXT II is a clone. Is there any issues I should be aware of with using a clone?
