Recently the Canadian Shorthorn Association joined a growing number of breeds to utilize the new IGS Multi-breed Genetic Evaluations powered by Bolt. I believe that the use of EPD's along with phenotype and structure and of course the ability to just get it done in your environment offers a...

Here is our senior herd sire, Diamond Lord Belmore 56B. He is an ET son of the Australian bull The Grove Kookaburra W735 and out of Butterfield Lady 13N. We are very happy with his calves and used one of his sons as well this year.

Here are some pictures of Prophecy daughters I finally have pictures of their udders.

Thanks for the positive comments. We have some of his two year old daughters coming up to calving and I am really pleased with the udder development thay are showing. I will put up some pics after they calve.

I was wondering what size bulls most people look for to use in their operation. Our present senior sire is a 2200 lb frame 5(55.5 inch)eight year old, Diamond Prophecy 21P. he's a smaller frame than most of the bulls we use but has really nice easy fleshing daughters...

I think the Galloway is the most under rated breed and has a lot to offer especially in northern regions. Functional and hardy with good marbling.

There sure looks to be a lot of good Shorthorn bull sales coming up. In Canada there's the Bender Sale, Alta Cedar Shorthorns, Who's Your Daddy, Eionmor Bull Sale, Lacombe Bull Sale, Manitoba Bull Test Sale and Sun Country Bull Sale to name some.

Last week at Innisfail Auction Market a group of 40 + commercial shorthorn bred heifers averaged in the high $1700 range. I had heard of some hereford angus bred heifers bringing up to the mid $1600 range in Saskatchewan in December. These heifers were sired by Eionmor bred bulls as were their...

The * asterisk in both the US and Canadian herd books indicates the animal came from the grading up process through the appendix program. You are right in that most animals carrying the asterisk are pretty pure especially if they are listed as purebred. The exception would be the maine influence...

There are several lines of bulls originating in Western Canada that descend in the paternal line from Manadalong Super Flag. Mandalong Super Flag was born in Australia in 1971 and imported to Canada in 1972 by Gary and Terry Carter, Newbiggon Shorthorns. Super Flag was a Grand Champion at the...

The first time I tried registering on SP I never got an email so I registered again. I may have two accounts but I can't even remember my original user name and password. There's no doubt Buster 2nd is an excellent option on heifers.

Actually I was waiting for the email but I didn't realise I was already good to go. Try logging in with what you submitted.

One sire line that stands out for me in Western Canada is the Huberdale Mastercharge 42T bull. 42T was sired by the Irish import Deerpark Improver 52nd. His dam was a grand daughter of Mandalong Super Elephant with the rest of her pedigree being polled beef bloodlines from Western Canada. 42T...

His name is Diamond Prophecy 21P, he is a son of RB Red Eagle Y2K a bull we got from Ralph Larson in Montana and Y2K was bred by Rocker Brothers. His dam is from the Baroness cow family going back to Dave Ball's, Ball Dee breeding. His birth weight was 84 lbs. and he has a 0.4 BW EPD.

I think there are several herds in Western Canada that are focusing are breeding programs that focused on providing bulls for the commercial industry. There is a lot of discussion on providing bloodlines that give you 1200 lb. cows but I think most Canadian commercial herds expect their cows to...
