    Dentures vs Implants

    While I may not know much about cattle I do know a pretty fair amount about this topic. To the OP, shouldn't be too hard to find someone in your area that can provide the same procedure for at least $5k less, maybe more. There are also other options that Clear Choice probably did not offer...

    Maternal ABS hereford bull

    What does maternal mean? In KY fescue tolerance is important for most of us, so there may be some options here that can tolerate fescue with built in longevity and convenience traits (unless you require the ABS tech to do the AI work): http://www.sustainablegenetics.com/hereford.html I am in...

    Kubota M7060 or New Holland T4.75 or Case IH Farmall C75

    Can't give a comparison but I have had a M7060 for three years now, good tractor in many ways but is very light. Depending on the size of your rolls and terrain it may get a little "unbalanced". Also power as advertised but lack of traction is the limiting factor. I have fluid in the tires...

    Best Angus cow maker bulls?

    So I was going to let this go because I really don't care and don't have a dog in the fight and, more importantly, really dislike online bickering. However not a big fan of message board innuendo and rumors. I saw Ed's cows many years ago and spoke with him and if Ed says he saw a problem then...

    hereford breed purity

    Thank god I found this thread. I now see the light. The best way to advance the breed (any breed) is to breed young, unproven heifers to young unproven bulls and discard anything that is not new. Can't see where anything can go wrong there. Just out of curiosity, as I begin to implement this...
