simme, I sent you a PM.

Was the cow that moved up two months running with a bull before 85 days after she calved last year?

gcreek, could you estimate a frame score and weight at weaning time for the cows you showed. Love their capacity!

coachg, rode with a really good cattleman several years ago who ran tiger stripes exclusively. His only complaint was that they tend to milk too heavily, blow out udders earlier than they should. How old is she?

Warren, average about 700 coming off grazing, average 500 going on, after pre-conditioning. We drill into permanent summer pastures, so we are later than prepared seedbed guys getting on grass, so fewer grazing days, and less total gain on grass. We have a very wide range in weights, due to our...

Y’all get back on track and give me some advice!!!

Thanks for the responses. Kenny, we are using the Charolais now because of their terminal possibilities. I can see not getting a growth differential up to weaning, your selling point. As you said, enough extra pounds will beat that black hide premium! Jeanne, agree with you you 100% on...

I am grazing these calves through yearling. Any thoughts on possible differences there?

Thanks, Kenny. That’s the kind of information I was looking for. Were they straight Simmental?

Thanks for the responses. I know where the bulls are. What I want to know is whether black Simmental TERMINAL bulls can compete with Charolais TERMINAL bulls for frame, growth and muscling in my 15 month old yearlings coming off ryegrass. I know that there is a price differential for same...

Got to agree with gcreek here. Capacity.

Various breeds, sale barn cows. All bred Charolais.

I help with a 300 cow herd in Central Alabama. We are a terminal herd, all calves are stockered on ryegrass through the spring. We buy-in sale barn replacement cows each fall, bred to our March 1 calving season. These cows are bred to unknown bulls, but the main herd is bred Charolais. The herd...

Call Mr. VictorDomino, on this board. If he has anything that will cover your 20 cows, buy it. It will more than repay the dock in any red calves in quality. Note: save all the heifer calves as replacements, if you aare not a terminal herd.

Folks, why do we think that big feedyards, which have millions of individual records on breed, color, sex, ADG, cost of gain and health of cattle they have fed, and big packers, which have hundreds of millions of individual records on breed, color, sex, quality grade and yield grade on cattle...

C-K Cattle sale, just south of Montgomery, will have a large number of SimAngus. Not sure of the date.

Gibbs sale in Ranburne is November 11. Big outfit, registered stock.

Best cattle on this board.

Worked for an order buying firm in the early 2000’s in the southeast. Virtually every order we had for various weights and sexes started off with “no Simmentals, Herefords or Gerts (Santa Gertrudis). At that time there was a distinct aversion to those types of stocker calves. I believe in the...

Gerts and Beefmasters, two American breeds bred only to perform well in their environments, were ruined, or nearly ruined, by the show ring, or by people who bred them because they were the “hot thing”. Just like with dogs and horses, when looks become the main thing, performance goes out the...
