Only producing enough for owners share. I've had it on order with them since last summer and still nothing.

Hey Ron, Those are nice. I bought a lot of my Simmental's out of the beef expo. Its a fun time. Hopefully, I'll see you at it. I've missed it the last 2 years going to UK Basketball games but my son is getting close to show age and I want to take him back this year. I'll pm you before then.

I thought you were in KY. Our place is off 71 near the Ky Speedway. Your sitting on a Gold Mine their with that Racetrack and future growth. I guess I'm hour and 15-20 minutes from their. Do you ever go the Beef Expo or NAILE? That's not too far from your farm.

I assume maybe a Angus/Jersey cross? Which is hard to find without having been a stunted growth bottle calf.

Paris, Ky (probably 40 or so miles from Ron) I'm just a few miles outside of Lexington. Not too far from where Secretariat lived. Theres more Racehorses here than people.

What's your opinion (each of you) of the milk EPDs?[/quote Yeah its too high..... I used to be really cautioned about going over 24 but then I quickly realized I would only have 5 frame Angus and I prefer 6.25 plus frammed. And people in this area pay big $ for SAV and Champion Hill...

Has anybody used SAV Platinum? I want to stick with SAV bloodlines on my SAV/Champion Hill heifers and I have too much SAV Abigale in them to use SAV Bismark. Need low BW and CE to use on heifers and cows with way too high numbers (for my bull customers)

Hey Ron, Every Ruby's Wide Open I've seen have been nice and solid built. She should be a good one for you. Roy's always seem to sell good. I think I was told he's going to have a Bull sale this year with Tim White's Angus in Lexington (I think)... Not sure what's going on with that...

Hey Ron, You won't find a nicer guy than Misty Meadows owner. I've never bought one of his but tried to two years ago went $3000 on a open heifer and I think she went close to $4000 at the Belles of the Bluegrass sale. My sons still wishes we'd bought her ( her name swas Madison something and...

This is just painful to read.....Sorry

This is what I do also and we usually average 75%-85% (7 out of the last 8 years....one bad year of 50%..... That was a bad drought year but that might not have been the reason.

Sim-Angus

I agree completely..... I had a SimAngus heifer back in January that weighed 52 lbs..... She's got great confirmation and pedigree but it just takes them too long to catch up to an 85-87 lbs new born calf (as well as the survival concerns)
