Nile Valley Farm is extremely proud of Ar Su Lu Gallager 403_ (Gal Chaser) and his progeny. His Shorthorn calves are all firmly stamped with our seal of approval. When used on different body types and styles: the result is Gal Chaser trademarked. Great calving ease sire. Posted a few photos of...

Our family just happened to update the photo library for our farm. Yes, some do alter there photos. All we do is take time and patience. As others have said, ditgital camera on side, one in back and one in front waving cap to raise head and move ears. I then download, crop and put ID # and name...

Thanks cowgirl for posting his images. As far as BW and calving ease. Wild Card isn't a bull for all heifers. But he isn't a cow killer as some bigger bulls are. We used him on only four heifers. Had to light pull two of them, no hard pulls. On his cow group no pulls all unassisted. Calves...

vs_cattle, Check your pm. We do have a couple double registered Shorthorn sires available including the Wild Card bull. view our web site. http://www.nilevalleyfarm.4t.com/Shorthorn_Bulls.html

It is definetly the same bull. He happens to have a good coating of mud or something else on his legs in mature photo. I had just let him out of the bull pen to get a picture on grass. He wasn't taken to the wash rack as was his show photo.

Here is a yearling photo of the Wild Card bull. Not sure if we have a rear view, but he has developed into a deep wide body. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p223 ... _bull_.jpg

Rod, I agree we should have a more active board on Heterosis.com Many cattlemen can benefit from using Shorthorn genetics in their crossbreeding program. http://heterosis.com/tailored.aspx

Agree with Killala, we like Scotty. Proof in USA, CA & AU. Our herd is using Shadybrook Scotty 83K for our A.I. group. His calves are great. Good lower birth rates and rapid growth. Great Milk EPD's. Top 1%. TH Free also. We used a paternal brother by Buckshot as a herd sire for couple years...

The Haumont herd is out of western NE. They have no web site. Vera family had best info on there herd. Our family with couple other breeders does have semen rights on the Native dual bull Commander in Chief 96. He is a proven son of the Legendary sire: Meadowbrook Chieftain 9th and near Ideal...

Yes, Shorthorns do look different than 50 years ago. Our herd has used both native and other bloodlines. Both beef and dual purpose MS sires. But also some herds have retained the native bloodlines. No outside blood. Vera Land & Cattle of LA uses these old natives. http://www.verashorthorn.com/...

Check out Dual Purpose Milking Shorthorns. You can have your family milk cow and raise a calf for your freezer beef. Several of our heifers have been used in both dairy, beef or family cow herd. Both sides of the fence. It is easier to break a 1st calf heifer to milk than a older cow, but one...

Thanks for your comments, I appears that he needs more butt. Well any comments on his name Gal Chaser? kinda catchy??

Ar Su Lu Gallager 403 (Gal Chaser) What does the group think of him? His calves are peas in a pod & doing very good for us. Some excellent weaning weights. Plan on collecting him spring '07. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p223 ... ser606.jpg

There are several programs that would work for a commercial operation. It would be nice though if you found a program that interacted with your breed assn. on your registered herd. That way your EPD updates could be done without actually going in every six months or yearly and having to change...

You have asked about milk production on our Nile Valley dual Milking Shorthorns. Our herd has been dairy since early 1900's. We were on DHIA test for 40 years. Herd average about 14,500 M 575 F in 1997 when went cow/calf. Our family has always felt we didn't want to breed meatless wonders. Had...
