Impressive! I would like to see some of the others you had in mind

I'm really liking the look of sitz barricade. I think he would keep alot of the power and growth that you like in the NW and not sacrifice frame size. I would be hesitant to cross any of the SAV bulls you listed. Worried what crossing up traveler 004 that close would do to feet. That's just my 2...

Must be coming through from Traveler 004 on the dam side. I have had corkscrew toe in net worth bulls before (son of 004)

I still haven't made it through my tank to see just how much NW I still have to let you know... in the mean time check this out. It pops up quite a bit on sirebuyer https://www.sirebuyer.com/2021/11/05/angus-semen-for-sale-sb10-1841/

Check out SAV territory. He is a resource son out of a density cow. Awesome phenotype that is sure to make some real brood cows. Renown daughters are great too.

Couldn't have said it better myself. A few universities have done studies on commercial cow/calf producers just starting out. The number 1 factor to the operation's longterm financial viability was the initial investment per head in the breeding herd. This by no means is a recommendation to guy...

Thanks, that is awesome info

https://powellfeedstores.com/catalog/product/166327/vitaferm-sure-start-pellet We fed these as recently as last year, they look like they have been scrubbed from biozyme website so maybe we were one of the few to use them. Anyway, curious what you would recommend to do for bull calves to develop.

Same here on the minerals. Will try to get you a tag on the sure start if we have any left

Would you recommend a similar ration to develop weaned bull calves? Why ration builder over other biozyme products like Sure start?

Yes, if memory serves correct i have 7 straws left. Plus 20 straws of the sire traveler 004. I always struggle with whether to let it go or not. The calves I have had just run a bit hotter than what I like but the phenotype is hard to pass up.

DI'd you Did you have any luck?

Sorry reply fail. I dont post here much and Phone messed up and somehow attributed that quote to Rafter. I'm the softy that wouldn't survive that type of heat. Just for the record.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't survive a summer like that. Hardy people and cattle for sure!

use a VitaFerm heat tub. Made based off K-State study on how to keep fats cool in the summer feeding months. Uses ingredients like capsaicin as a vasodilator to improve breathing and increase sweating to lower body temps. Also includes garlic which deters insects when they sweat it out. We used...

Where are you located? What's a straw of NW worth to you?

Calicrate works pretty good. I usually band about 650 lbs. Trick is to put the band around the sack where you want it and snug it up first, and then thread the machine onto it. A shot of tetanus toxoid and about 6 weeks later, you've got a steer. You can cut the sack off below the band once the...

Renown. My oldest renown daughter is just about to calve, great udder, stylish, perfect size. Feet are better in a renown too. Some in the traveler 004 line will develop corkscrew toe. Had an awesome net worth bull but had to dump him by the time he hit 5 because the toes started to curl over...

Absolutely right. Been using vitaferm for almost a decade now. Conception rates have really paid for the extra cost.. Went from selling 10 to 12 percent opens to selling 2 to 5 percent open and 10 percent pairs every year. Doesnt take long to pencil it out with the added income from selling...
