Go to Hoover angus website. Click on herd sires and see Commander progeny. I have a Connealy Commander son. Great docility even though his epds don’t show it. Great calves too.

Has anybody used TC Gridiron 258 Blk angus bull? Great bull for feet and legs. Hoover Angus still using him at 11 or 12 y/o.

I'd go with TC Gridiron 258. Leaves great daughters that are easy fleshing, thick and structural correctness. See him at hooverangus.com

15 hours and 16 x 16 transmission.

Thinking about buying a NH TS130A tractor. What your opinions? The Dealer quoted $45,000 for 2WD.

Trail boss's cross would end up 50% Big Red, 25% Foxy Lady and 25% Midnight Moon. Almost the same cross as taking Big Red and crossing with another cow. You would end up with 50% Big Red and 50% another cow.

As long as you like Big Red, it would be a great cross. Not any different than crossing Big Red to a non related cow.

I was told by my local feed dealer that Kent mineral 365 is going up 7 dollars a bag by June first. I pay $18.00 a bag now. Has anybody heard the mineral you use is going up?

Does anybody know how the Slagle Angus sale went?

I have a set and no problems.

I'm considering buying an Angus bull from Slagle's in Nebraska. Your thoughts on your experiences with his bulls will be much appreciated.

Is then any evidence that selling your calves in the middle of a big calf auction you'll have the highest chance of getting the best price?

Looks like a corneal abrasion (from trauma) with surrounding corneal edema. Usually they clear on their own. If not in a week to ten days I would have the vet give an injection (subtenons) which is under the skin of the sclera (white part of eye) with steroids and that should do the trick. Hope...

I like SAV 8180 Traveler 004 bull. Look him up. $20.00 a straw.

AAA adds pounds on to calves that were born to first calve heifers. Somebody told me today that the AAA does it also on calves that were born to old cows. Is this correct and how much do they add? Thanks.
