Thanks!! That is the kind of info I am looking for. He will be off the list now.

I do like those bulls...especially Tanker. High roller may be an issue for us: High Roller females are moderate framed with beautiful made udders and small teat size. His progeny may hold some extra hair in warmer climates. Heterozygous Black, Homozygous Polled We are in the deep south and...

Did you get other calves that you didn't like?

I am now having second thoughts about Casino. What about this bull for Simmi's? http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php? ... e=1SM00158 And this bull for Herf's? http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php? ... 49&lang=EN Share your thoughts folks.

Most were really happy with the growth of his calves but seems most of them were really wild and the females had a lot of issues.???????? He is in the top 2% for docility and the top 1% for stayability according to the EPD's. Is this a case of the numbers don't match the results??? I don't...

Jeanne, you mentioned that ABS had gotten behind. I was thinking of using JBS Big Casino this year. What are your thoughts on him? Has anyone else used him? What kind of cows does he produce? https://bullsearch.absglobal.com/en-us/ ... ountry/222 I like the whole package here. The numbers...

There is some very reasonable semen for sale at: https://www.sconlinesales.com/Bids/Auct ... ting/18462 Several very nice Angus bulls that are currently under $20 bucks.

SPH - I would be very interested in purchasing from a breeder. I am looking for a Homozygous Polled bull. I just don't want to deal with horns. I also don't want to break the bank either. Some of those really nice bulls come with a lot of $$$$ for the semen and certificates. I am not...

https://bullsearch.absglobal.com/beef/b ... 88,2033726 Objective: Polled Hereford females. We want good production cows, but we also show Polled Hereford heifers in the junior program. I am leaning more towards the Revved Up bull based on structure and depth. However, production is more...

I think Dun gave great advice! His herd backs up the advice he gave. ;-)

Hereford

Has anyone ever used Longhorns as recip cows? If you got heifers early enough to dehorn, they are very reasonable to purchase. Could they birth an 85 pound calf after they have their first calf? What are the pro's and con's?

I couldn't agree more. I have never seen so many idiots. Last time I went through there, it was a Friday about 2:30 in the afternoon. I was driving a 3500 flat bed diesel. It was all I could do to not drive over a few crazies in their Prius, etc. :mad:

I too like 2452. She seems to have lots of possibilities. I will also agree that Gizmom and family have some amazing cattle. The fact that they are in hot, humid Florida and hold the look and condition that they do is a HUGE testament to their breeding strategies. If the poster is in or near...
