    maybe future a.i. bull

    We have been using the sim-angus bull "Rookie" from Select Sires for 3 years now. The calves are incredible! We have used him on purebred angus, half breed sim-angus, and high percentage simmi cows and the calves were awsome in all cases. Because of our success with this bull, we have now...

    AI For First Calve Heifers

    We really like our Limelight calves, but they did come a little bigger than we like and we had a lower than usual conception rate. So we went with Mainstream this past breeding season. We sampled 50-50 back when he was new and $15 a stick and didn't think he was worth that. Poor calves off our...

    22 month old angus bull to critique

    these are the best pics i have been able to get of him. He goes back to the traveler bloodline several times with a little ext and precision thrown in as well. not the best but needed a different bull in a hurry.

    20 cow herd- not settling

    this last bull was the only one tested. as i said it is going to be tested again on thursday. He has never had any problems like this in over 40 years of raising cattle on the same pasture. I am really worried because we bought his feeder cattle last year and so some of his cattle were in with...

    Bull Evaluations TNT Jump start

    We have 4 calves on the way from Jump Start in March. one is coming in a heifer. I will have to wait till then to give an evaluation. One of the big shot beef "specialists" from select sires claims he is one of the greatest simmental bulls they have ever bought. Calves come out real small and...

    my new henry .22- i highly recommend it.

    ALX- the only henry i have handled or shot is the one i just bought. I assume their 30-30 will be good quality but i much prefer the looks of the marlin. I highly reccommend the 336 in 30-30. I recently purchased a one piece ejector for mine as some have had the factory part fail on them- and i...

    Favorite Pistol

    i have a Bersa .380 auto- basically a copy of the ppk/s james bond pistol. Its made in south america somewhere but its a very good gun. my dealer has been selling them for years. very reliable. Mine has only failed to feed once and that was when it was new/not broken in. very accurrate for such...

    my new henry .22- i highly recommend it.

    I have the winchester trapper in 44 mag with the small lever. I much prefer my marlin 336 30-30. smoother action and easier for me to lever from the shoulder. It is about 5 inches longer and a pound heavier but its just a better gun in my opinion and is still being made. i also like the thicker...

    my new henry .22- i highly recommend it.

    Here is a pic of my new small varmit gun. This rifle is awsome. the smoothest action of any gun i own- and right out of the box!!! Spits out 13 rds very fast and very accurrate. the small lever version would be a tad faster but i always wanted a big loop gun. [/img]
