Neither quite meet your requirement but three bulls that sell really well here in NE Kansas that are borderline are: Mohnen Substantial: thickest calves from heifer bull I've seen. Not a lot of length or height. Connealy Black Granite: moderate calves but look great Connealy Thunder: great for...

Ebenezer: For me it was for planning a calving date. Since they are heifers I wanted to make sure I get them to the dry lot at the house for calving, rather than in the pasture where I can't check on them regularly. Problem for me is that in Kansas in late July/early August it is 95+ degrees...

Well, just had my first 2 Black Granite calves. Both heifers, out of heifers. They came at 274 and 275 days. So I guess that puts Black Granite about 8-9 days early with heifer calves. One calf weighed 73 pounds, the other 72 pounds.

Curious why not much discussion on Mill Bar Hickok on this site? Too much 7229 and Final Answer blood out there already? Anything else that is not to like about Hickok himself? I am hoping to use him this fall or next spring unless I get some poor feedback from the experts on this board!!

Absolute calves were great. I love the Absolute daughters x Substantial .... makes a dang good cow. I am still using an Absolute son for cleanup now. Really like his look, a lot. He is a bit naughty though. Will occasionally put his head down when trying to move him and run through you if...

I asked about him a couple years ago as I liked his look. Didn't get too much feedback, so I passed and bred to Absolute that year.

Went ahead and used 99% alcohol, like usual. Found a few head of my dad's commercial cows that I went ahead and freeze branded while I was at it.

what liquid did you use NEFarmwife?

I've seen excellent results at a very high percentage with others that have used gasoline. I've just never used it because we normally freeze brand for 12+ hours a day when we do it. I don't want to smell gasoline for 12 hours. Yes, was hoping to not use the alcohol due to price since I am only...

Have freeze branded for years using 99% alcohol and dry ice. Have just 2 head that still need freeze branded, and didn't want to use all the 99% alcohol for just 2 head. I was going to try dry ice and gasoline for these. Couple of questions: *If using gasoline and dry ice... 1. Do you still...

Anyone ever seen an recent picture of Bruiser? I'd love to see how he looks today. Plan on using him some this next year.

I am 0 for 1 using HD. I have an extremely small sample size all from Universal. 1 for 1 on Answer 71 1 for 3 on Comrade 1385 2 for 2 on Black Granite These were all heifers being bred using 7 day synch protocol. Not breeding on observed heats, which we will do next year with this few of cows...

Got them AI'd last night. Now my next question. Anyone have any idea on average gestation length for these bulls? I found somewhere that Comrade was -7.7 days. I'd imagine they all have slightly shorter lengths due to being LBW. Comrade: -7.7 days Black Granite: ? Hoover Dam: ? Answer 71: ...

Gizmom: Who sells Abundance? Good all around bull? Or is he recommended if trying to improve a few certain aspects?

Good to hear. Dispositions are good? Heard mixed opinions about Bruiser.

Thanks, I have high hopes for anything I'm lucky to get bred to Comrade. Thought about using only him to breed them all this first round.

Appreciate it Warrior. My thoughts on Comrade were that he supposedly settled heifers well. Am real excited about HD calves as one of my future bull buyers needs to add some rib to cattle but doesn't want real heavy milkers. Anyone else have specific feedback because they've used these sires?

Going to breed my heifers to: 1. Comrade 2. Black Granite 3. Hoover Dam 4. Answer 71 This is my first year of AI and first year breeding registered heifers. I have a trusted AI tech.. but was wanting to know if anyone has pictures of weaned calves/replacement heifers/breeding bull sons from any...

What are you Absolute calves weighing at birth?
