Congratulations. That speaks to the quality of cattle you raise.

I'd love to see a photo of the S A V Priority daughter you have. I always thought he made good females, but you sure don't hear about them.

Never know where to post questions like this (under which category), but has anyone ever heard of Uppro Limited Livestock Equipment and their manual squeeze chute? Came across one yesterday and had never heard of them. I'm pretty sure they aren't made in the USA. Had some nice features for a...

Don't waste your time with Highlanders. Not worth the effort or money if you are serious about raising cattle. Use a calving ease Black Angus bull (or Red Angus, or Polled Hereford), and, with all of the extra milk you should have from the Ayrshire cows, you can probably make nurse cows out of...

If I remember it correctly, when you look at an individual's pedigree on the American Angus Association website and the EPD portion of the page, there are usually four numbers stacked inside a box for a given trait. So, for example, on the bull you are asking about, under the BW (birth weight...

I'd say based on the pedigree that the bull is clean. That being said, it might be smart to test all of his offspring that would be used for breeding just as a precaution. Another question might be why you want to use this bull. Was he popular with commercial producers or have you seen his...

Awesome photos! But where's the snow? Has it melted already?

Glad to hear things are turning out well!

Good luck and hoping for the best for you and the heifer!

Yes, the ones I got $1,400 to $1,800 for were registered.

I sold all of mine in December as 9-month-olds and did well. Got $1,400 to $1,800 for them. I'm sorry I never posted any pictures; I still can't figure out how to post photos on this site (everytime I try it fails). I was really happy with how 3 of the 4 turned out ... so pleased with one of...

I haven't forgotten your request for the photos. Our email account provided through our Internet provider has been down for the past couple of days. I hope it is back up in the next day or so and I will get the photos off to you.

I've also used PA Fortitude 2500 lightly and really like his calves, but all I have gotten from his matings are bull calves that were castrated for steers and locker beef. Very docile and grew well. I do know of a ranch here in Oregon that used Fortitude in their 2016 breeding season and sold...

Forgot to note that Concord is relatively unproven and probably doesn't have many females in production yet. I think he turns 3 or 4 years old in July. Haven't seen any Concord females for sale at any regional events in my neck of the woods.

I have four Connealy Concord heifers on the ground, all purebred. They were born in March so they are only three months old, but I'm optimistic they will make good replacements. They were born problem-free, got up quickly and nursed fast. They seem docile, have good length of body, etc. I will...

Here's hoping everyone has the best of luck and positive results with the remainder of your respective calving seasons.

78 pounds? It seems we all have more than our fair share of mud this year. I'm in Oregon and this is the worst year I have ever had for dealing with the mud and the cows. Starting to feel sorry for them.

Wow ... seems most everyone is a little testy today on this subject for some reason. I just wish for everyone to have a smooth and successful calving season no matter how often you check your cows and heifers. And I didn't know it was a bad thing to try and be prepared for anything that could go...

Nice looking calf. Cute little bugger! Good luck with it and the new mom! :)

I really like to bottle feed for at least 12 weeks, sometimes as long as 16 weeks depending on the situation. Yes, it is time consuming and an added expense, but I find the reward at the end is a calf that will be larger and healthier -- and that's from personal experience. One of the keys is to...
