    Which PB simmental bull

    I do like those bulls...especially Tanker. High roller may be an issue for us: High Roller females are moderate framed with beautiful made udders and small teat size. His progeny may hold some extra hair in warmer climates. Heterozygous Black, Homozygous Polled We are in the deep south and...

    Which PB simmental bull

    Most were really happy with the growth of his calves but seems most of them were really wild and the females had a lot of issues.???????? He is in the top 2% for docility and the top 1% for stayability according to the EPD's. Is this a case of the numbers don't match the results??? I don't...

    Which PB simmental bull

    Jeanne, you mentioned that ABS had gotten behind. I was thinking of using JBS Big Casino this year. What are your thoughts on him? Has anyone else used him? What kind of cows does he produce? https://bullsearch.absglobal.com/en-us/ ... ountry/222 I like the whole package here. The numbers...

    Which bull to use?

    SPH - I would be very interested in purchasing from a breeder. I am looking for a Homozygous Polled bull. I just don't want to deal with horns. I also don't want to break the bank either. Some of those really nice bulls come with a lot of $$$$ for the semen and certificates. I am not...

    Which bull to use?

    https://bullsearch.absglobal.com/beef/b ... 88,2033726 Objective: Polled Hereford females. We want good production cows, but we also show Polled Hereford heifers in the junior program. I am leaning more towards the Revved Up bull based on structure and depth. However, production is more...

    I think Dun gave great advice! His herd backs up the advice he gave. ;-)

    Recip Questions

    Has anyone ever used Longhorns as recip cows? If you got heifers early enough to dehorn, they are very reasonable to purchase. Could they birth an 85 pound calf after they have their first calf? What are the pro's and con's?

    Crazy People

    I couldn't agree more. I have never seen so many idiots. Last time I went through there, it was a Friday about 2:30 in the afternoon. I was driving a 3500 flat bed diesel. It was all I could do to not drive over a few crazies in their Prius, etc. :mad:

    Choosing the right embryos

    I too like 2452. She seems to have lots of possibilities. I will also agree that Gizmom and family have some amazing cattle. The fact that they are in hot, humid Florida and hold the look and condition that they do is a HUGE testament to their breeding strategies. If the poster is in or near...

    He Was Not Born Equal

    Ron, So sorry for your loss. I think that I may have had a calf with similar issues. He looked normal on the front end, but had issues on the back legs. He died while the cow was calving. He was Simmental sired. I am attaching the URL for the sire's registration in case there may be a...

    We Want Some Cows

    I am not sure if this is the best place to discuss this, but here it goes: Last spring we sold all of our cows due to some health issues. We would like to have some more now. However, we really don't want to spend the dollars that it would require to get back in the business at the number of...

    B L V - Our worst nightmare!

    It hit our 5 and 6 year old cows. We had 2 year old heifers test positive.

    B L V - Our worst nightmare!

    I wanted everyone to be aware of BLV. If you don't know much about, do a little research. Over the past 20 + years, we would lose a cow here and there. We always thought, "If you have them, you will lose one sometimes." Well, how wrong we were. We should have tested for various diseases I...
