    A ways to green grass yet.

    People have already baled their 1st cutting fescue hay around here. I will cut the bermuda horse hay for the 1st time in about 2-3 weeks. We had a cold snap Sun- Tues up here. Blackberry winter. Lows around 40 and highs barely making 60, but the high today will be 79! This will probably be our...

    That is what South Polls were developed from.... Barzona and Red Angus.

    Red angus or red baldie heifers?

    @fnfarms1, I think @simme has 2 bulls, brothers to those 2 that @ClinchValley86 and @kenny thomas bought from him last year. I think he said he was weaning them in July? They would make excellent terminal sires over those red Ang/Herf red baldies. He posted pics of them on another thread. I...

    Red angus or red baldie heifers?

    Watch this video on heterosis in beef cattle by the Univ of Iowa. At about 11:20, they put up a chart, and he explains it well, that shows what breeds have a lot of DNA in commom ( all Continentals do) . Hereford and Angus are further apart than any other bos taurus breeds. That cross yields...

    I think that he was implying that he wouldn't 100% guarantee those bulls to be sterile.

    No, the Brahma wasn't. He is in the videos on their FB page. And none of the 2 black ones or the BWF Simm that didn't pass were in bad shape.

    The fun with heifers calving continues.

    I dunno. I watched them do the Char and they never could get him to ejaculate. The vet told me and others standing around: " Hell, if y'all was to grab me and put me in a headlock, and stick an electrode up my butt, with all of these people standing around watching talking, I doubt I could "do...

    No, they stuck the electric prod up their butts and collected there while they had them in the chute. I watched them test the Char and the Brahma. The vet and his techs just kinda shrugged it off. They said it was just the environment...that both had a pen full of calves there. 5 of the 8...

    The fun with heifers calving continues.

    I thought about it, but in person she is a lot skinnier than she looks in those pics. Plus, they had the Char bull she was bred to there as well. He had horns to rival a Corr. He was 2100 lbs, and even at that, he was near as thin as she was. So no telling how big the calf would be. I went...

    New bull time

    Actually there are Black Herefords that are 7/8th, 5/16ths, and more...Hereford. As much or more Hereford, as pb Simms are Simm. To be a registered Black Hereford, it must be 5/8ths or more Hereford, and 3/8ths or less Angus. You are right about the black baldies. A black baldy is... or...

    The fun with heifers calving continues.

    Turned out she was 6 mos bred, not 4. Bred to a Char bull. Weighed a little over 700 lbs.. . Very tall for a Jersey, should have weighed 1000. She was 4 years old, though. Sold for $1050. Her body condition plus being bred to a Char...I let her pass.

    Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope the tests come out good. I am headed out here in a minute, I will let you know if there is something you can use at a good price. How far are you from Ft Payne? Someone form that sale will most likely be there. Might be a good way to get one over to you if we...

    I am not interested in anything but maybe the Brahmas. They have Brahma pairs, bred cows, heifers and some bulls that will be selling. and I have a place to go with them if I can get them low enough to make a dollar on. I don't want to end up with them myself, though. Dude that was buying my...

    @coachg did you get that milk cow you were talking about earlier this week. I am going to a cow and heifer sale in Calhoun tomorrow. Want me to call you if I see one that might work for you?

    Mostly Heifer calves

    So far, the January and February calves for the Corriente herd have run about 50/50 . A good many March calves have already been born, We will see what they are when we work them end of March. Through out the years about a 60/40 , either way, has been the max on sex variation. This will be...

    Mostly Heifer calves

    Only the male in any mammal species determines the sex. And over a life tme., a male will produce 50% male and 50% female sperm. Take your average back yard pool. Fill it with a gazillion red marbles and a gazillion white marbles. Then , while blindfolded,. .take them out one at a time. You...

    If you want to PM me a ball-park figure, or an up-to figure you'd like to pay, I will look for one tomorrow at the Calhoun sale. Doubtful there would be one with a calf on it, but might be one heavy bred. And, I will ask around of those who might have one or know of one. PM me your phone number...

    I am sure you know some like that around you.., just as I know some I would trust here in north GA too. And, there are about 3 or so on here, that are a state or two away from me, and one a long way from me, that I would buy one of their bulls without hesitation. 2 of them I have never even...
