In the new 09 Hereford AI book. What do you think? Dun, the pic is taken from the rear, and I think this one is probably wide enough.

I'd like to hear what any of you who have actually used Star Bright Future think of him. We just butchered a steer sired by him. The steer had a 250ish day weight of 856 right before we purchased him, about two weeks off the teat. He grew rapidly, but really didn't put on much weight until I...

was $3440 if I didn't mistake the home page headline on CT.

Hauled the old 15-16 year old butcher cow to the butcher this morning. I had been unable to feed much flesh onto her. I got her from an uncle expressly for the purpose of turning her into hamburger, as he didn't want to hassle with her. She would have gone an easy 1,200# in her prime, but in...

Herefords averaged more than Angus at two recent sales where both were offered. Strang Herefords & Black Angus of Meeker, Colorado sold 47 coming 2 year old Hereford bulls for an average of $2,750, with a high seller of $5,250. They sold 16 coming 2 year old black bulls for an average of $2,534...

Mike Spradling, President and CEO of Oklahoma Farm Bureau, has been named to the Tulsa County Fairboard. He and his wife, Lotsee own and operate Flying G Ranch near Sand Springs, where they raise Polled Herefords and Pecans.

Opinions on bloodlines and program? They have a sale coming up. Some of the bulls look good. They also raise South Devons and Poundmakers, a herf/devon cross. Their Hereford ad line is that they have genetics that are an outcross to most, and that their bulls last a long time.

Went to check cows this morning on way to work. First calf heifer lying in the remnants of hay, doesn't get up. I'm suspicious, and sure enough, two hooves are protruding, several inches of ankle showing. "I'll just hang around and make sure this goes all right..." This is about 6:50. After...

Couldn't even get cell phone pics because it was too dark both times I checked on them today, but the first calf of the season was an 83# bull born on his dam's 8th birthday. Thankfully, he is very vigorous, and was up crowhopping after I weighed him. Wants to follow me around. Edit: after...

Jan 09 Hereford World has an ad on page 89 for Dillard Polled Herefords of Waco, GA; featuring this bull. He looks pretty good to me, and I know that Trask cattle were known for their easy doing on grass only. I've been told that he dipped heavily into the Anxiety 4th genepool when developing...

I don't mean to be a broken record about this sale, but it seems to me that there is more to pay attention to than with the average dispersal. It just not that often that you have a chance to buy unreserved from a herd with this many years of work put into it, with the solid honest rep that they...

Just noticed when re-re-re-re-re-reading the Dec. HW the other day that the reserve supreme champion heifer was also the grand champion Hereford heifer.

A partial interest and partial possession was sold in the Rodgers sale. Anyone know what he brought? I read with interest what Frank Rodgers had to say about him, regarding how light he was on his feet when breeding, and that he was as easy keeping as they came. Also mentioned his very broad...

...it might change our thinking about twins. I called Richard Day the other day to wish him a Merry Christmas, and get an update on the bull calves just weaned, as I am planning to get one from him next spring. He said that he had one in mind for me if I was interested. It is a twin; the cow...

Recently purchased a steer from Flying G primarily for freezer beef, but with the intent to let him double as a show steer in the local 4H for my oldest son. Since the 4H shows don't show steers by breed, we didn't have her to transfer papers on him, so I can't just read his pedigree and list it...

Will be Jan. 16. A few of these really caught my attention when looking through Hereford World. A favorite: TDP Vintage 402U ET, Lot 13 bull. Sired by SHF Ribeye. There are some genetics here that I am very partial to. I hadn't really paid attention before now that Ribeye's dam was HVH Miss...

Dispersing the 20th of Dec. Opinions on the program? Seems to have an excellent rep, and stand behind his product. If all is as it seems, this could be a golden opportunity to build a herd on the shoulders of someone else's years of work. Noticed one lot with an IMF of 6.41%. Noticed the average...

As I understand it, a high tailset is linked to calving difficulties or trouble "cleaning out." As a swayback is invariably accompanied by a high tailset, that should be reason alone to cull against extreme examples of swayback. Furthermore, Herefordsire, I suppose you could breed the sway until...

Good Thanksgiving Day yesterday, but marred by the discovery that the horrible smell we have been smelling outside the last few days was coming from a dead cow next door. Found out they have left it lying buried in some hay for two weeks thus far! Their other cattle are feeding all around it...

An Affair To Remember III Dec. 6. One of the most interesting lots IMO is the own daughter of Graystone Trustee out of a King Ten bred cow. This is a middle aged cow, and doesn't necessarily have terrific EPDs, but she looks good, and I'm intrigued by her genetic blend, which is actually...
