Lots of Thomas Farms genetics here. p606 and phantom are both cow makers Top Secret when bred right can be a good one. Some of the nicest calves I have seen have been Top Secret over p606 cows. Nothing here that will cause problems, if she looks good and sells alright I wouldn't be afraid of...

If I couldn't get 100 over high steer price for a good weaned heifer I would just keep her. For an unregistered animal. If its registered heck the price be anywhere across the board depending on bloodline sale and need.... Lots of "ifs" in this game. Red

The shorthorn is solid red for at least two generations maybe more. Just looking for a maternal bull for the commercial part of my herd an of course some clean up. Wanting to put some pounds on while still having a solid market for females.

A solid red shorthorn crossed with straight herefords? Would it be mostly red baldies? What color problems if any could happen? Thx.

Around here a good White Faced calf will top the market. And you will not see many "good" heifer Baldies at the sale barn cause they are to easy to unload. I have a standing order for high market steer price for whatever number of F1 hereford/angus heifers I will sell. You ain't gonna see em at...

Down to brass tacks If the owner will take 700 thats a good buy. Cow aint perfect but you arnt payment top cow price. Breed her to a black bull and make some cash, if she doesnt raise a good calf. Let her go for pounds. If you have pasture dont see how you can go wrong with this one.

Greg, I'm sure our winters would be considered tame compared to yours. Here most avoid deep winter cause you never know what your gonna get. But case in point, there have been alot of blanket statements made here with no regard to location, goals, and lifestyles of the persons involved. As...

Jeanne, I would say that I watch mine more than you watch yours... lol Not for cash, cause it wouldn't make financial sense, but cause I love cattle, and I love my cattle. But on a side note, I don't know a herd here in ky that isn't a dairy herd that ever brings a cow in the barn that ain't...

Not all but many heifers will, well that is if you have a registered herd thats worth a darn. If you don't than get out of the game. My point is about value, no commercial calf is gonna ever be worth that. So the amount of time and effort spent will be equal to the amount of perceived value...

I feel the bull a heifer is bred to comes down to value. In a registered herd a heifer is gonna be worth 3 to 6 times what a comm heifer will sell for or more.... So it stands to reason that the extra time and money spent in AI and camera's and watching would be worth it as the return is...

We all are emotional sometimes. Its hard to loose one, it happens but that doesnt make it any better. Glad your doing good, enjoy the journey.

Sometimes life just stinks. I dont see a winner here, you loose time and the breeder money. But I have more time than money so take the cash and call him a good guy. Alot of people wouldnt do that and all you would have is a story. Heck if your gonna own cattle your gonna have problems. Thats...

Whats the mix?

All comes down to grass and hay... Do you have plenty? If you do and think she could be a good one, a year aint gonna hurt you. If you overstocked a bit, or feed hay for 6 months a year.... She needs to be gone. Add up the money and see which makes dollars, they aint pets.

I have stayed out of this one... But OUCH. That hurts either way.

Wow I love how everyone goes to their corner and cant be honest to save their life... It is an election year after all. :clap: I try an run good cows, now I like em red. But a good cow is a good cow. This talk can be ended with one simple word. CULL. Any bull that has a tude. cull any cow...

Durango is a small framed meat wagon. He was 5.5 or so by my eye deep with good structure and lots of pigment. Now its been a few years ago that I saw him, but he spent a summer here in ky.. Very free moving, I saw him in with 30 cows after the summer on forage and he looked great. Now he is a...

Yep but I can say the same thing about heavy equipment operators. I always call three book two and have never ever had more than one who showed up? About half the time no one shows? Anyhow I work with kids alot, I dont have the same experience as you all. I know one girl that is working 20...

Wow you have kickers that fight? No wonder you all are top ten.....
