Premise went over your head I can see but I prefer to use genetics with stabilized genotypes.

There's more variation in the beefmaster breed than any I know of. Stick with the true lasater beefmaster or choose a different breed imo

This is incorrect. A blue roan is an animal that is heterozygous black and also carries 1 copy of the roaning gene. There is no dilution gene needed. Breed a white shorthorn bull (2 copies of roan) to black cows and every single calf you have will genotype as a blue roan. Some animals may...

Id sure prefer to sell breds as opposed to opens

Mashona. There is no definitive as far as what a south poll is or is not. For that reason, I'm out.

I’ve always been able to sell my heifers with a single ad right off the farm for more than enough to compensate for the discount the steers got through the ring

Shorthorn in the woodpile of many many British breeds. Ton of Fleckvieh in herefords as well.

OCC Paxton is as commercially viable of an option as any bull in the breed.

Hereford will be good provided your Gelbvieh bull was homozygous black. If hetero black, you will have a lot of red calves when using a Hereford bull on those cows. Even with a char bull, you’ll likely get a fair number of pink pigmented calves

Those two outfits have as much variation in quality within each of their calf crops as anybody and everybody. No matter how good of cattle an operation has, it’s not like they’re doing a gate cut to select herd sires.

4 out of 5. I don’t see how this couldn’t be the answer

Ruin it? Managed grazing will increase yields. Mostly because of the applied fertility from trampling organic matter, manure, and urine.

Would make since if you’re backcrossing the superbaldies to one of their parent breeds: Hereford or brangus. What’s the cross that the super baldies are being compared to in your herd?

Got some of the best Angus cattle in the country not far away from you in Nancy.

This is such a simple concept to grasp— Of course he’s downgrading the quantity but he is substantially upgrading the quality. Regardless of how ‘good’ you think your beef is,, using this bull or any Wagyu for that matter will improve the quality grade likely by two marbling scores or...

I don’t know anything about your number one point but everything else youve stated is just wrong. If weaning weights are taken at the latest allowable date, the ADJUSTED weaning weight will be LESS THAN their ACTUAL weaning weight as you are adjusted backwards in time to 205 days. If an...

Typically done the opposite way. That is, take the ‘weaning weight’ at the earliest allowable date and extrapolate that adg on out to 205

Depending on how they’d been feed, a 900lb yearling weight could be substantial. Your daughters show heifer likely had more feed first 6 months, than most bulls do their entire life.

Last cow pictured in your first post -the one that is dead center- is as good a cow as has ever been posted on this site.

WRONG! White bulls are homozygous roan and will throw a Roan or double roan every single time. A white SH bull will never throw a solid red calf
