I am a seedstock producer that focuses on carcass quality. Some of the things other producers say against breeders striving for quality are: 1) Pounds pay , carcass quality does not bring them extra dollars. My reply) They are right unless you have a market to sell quality beef. Sale barns...

His registered name is L3 WINN REFLECTION 051 ET and he was there with the other Largent bulls.

His hair coat does not bother me yet, he is shedding hair now. He arrived Friday from Billings Montanna where he was collected, and he has been in a northern US enviroment until now.

Here is the newest addition to my herd bulls. He is the one that I asked opinions about in November. You can give you opinion again if you want.

Doc may be I'm missing the question to. Here's what I do to determine possible bull candiates (AI or natural) 1) Spend hours studing pedigrees and any production records that I can get my hands on. This includes my cow herd and prospective bulls. 2) Determine what I'd like to improve within...

What do you find lenient?

Those are old pictures , late 80's early 90's cows. I'd like to think that phenotype and productivity has increased since then. The pictures are not very well done either. Cows in the winter and in muddy conditions seldom make good pictures.

I made a error in how many Dam of Distinctions Star Lake has had. They have only had 4 Dam of Distinctions. The other ten cows that have the Star prefix were not produced by Star Lake.

:lol2: :lol2: Me too! :!: A cow worth that should only be in a donor program after proving herself.

Show cattle rarely make highly productive cattle.

Phenotype alone does not make a cow a Dam of Distinction , however it is very important because if you do not have correct phenotype then you have some flaw in the productive capitability of the animal. A example would be to narrow in the hips would cause increased calving difficulity. This is...

I agree with your statement jkwilson. How many Dam of Distinction does Monte raise each year? Very few of his cattle ever make Dam of Distiction statis. I looked it up for you. Monte has only had 1 Dam of Distinction in the last 10 years. Star Lake has a total of 13 in the last 20 years.

Dam of Distinction and correct phenotype are good starting points for qualifying as the best.

Do you want to buy top quality cows? :?: :?: :?: I mean do you really want top quality cows? :?: :?: :nod: What are you willing to pay for the best? :?: :idea: If you want registered and you want top quality expect to pay over 5000 dollars each. :shock: :shock: :o ...

:shock: So if a registered cow is offered for sale at a price of less than 2500 it raises a red flag meaning that she is inferior? I 've heard others in the registered business say something very similar. :oops: I suppose that I should never sell any registered cows under 2500, if you...

Grandview in Como Mississippi should have serveral.

Hmmm ... I am not a Victor Domino breeder and after seeing that video I confident that I am never going to be a roadie, groupie, or fan for the singer. :hide:

Show me the expenses to raise these steers, then we will determine how much money was lost or made.

WRONG!!! With inflation and the ever increasing cost of operation, prices for cattle is still way below what they should be. May be we as cow calf producer can survive ( many won't ) , however at current prices we can not keep the farms productive enough for future generations of our children...

Stay away from the 16 acres, it just is not enough usable land to do what you want. If you only want to keep two horses and may be a few chickens it will be ok. If you really want to raise a few cows then you will need the 29 acres at a minimum. LFF
