    Foresight and Final Product

    Ive been around the final product Cattle. I like them, balanced good growthy cattle, they are like all cattle in need of improvement somewhere. As far as the Woodhill Foresight bull I like him but doubt i will ever use him. In this day and age his calving ease direct and bw numbers are too...

    New Semen Tank $299

    What i need a tank like that four is to transfer semen from one location to another (without hurting my back). I need a tank to hold 500ish units at a time so that i can keep an order together and deliver it with ease.

    New Semen Tank $299

    Well now i need it converted to ampules? While we are at it what would it hold in full canes? 1/4cc mini canes? and last but not least a random mix of 1/2, 1/4, ampules, some in partial canes some in full canes some loose and a few straws dropped down loose in the bottom of the tank?

    New Semen Tank $299

    yes! that is what i was looking for. Now that brings up another question. Why does it have a rating with a two in it? Do I take the last two and stuff them in the cracks between a couple of canes? I am excited about the 790 part though, that should be enough room.

    New Semen Tank $299

    What is the capacity? What is the full weight? Is it a shipper or a transfer tank? I could use a small tank so i may be interested.

    Pharo Bull Sale

    What a great set of viewpoints. I am always in the market for genetics that are going to improve efficency. That said I've heard alot about the Pharo Cattle and have agreed at times with the sometimes off camber philosophies that PCC purveys. The sale I watched on RFD-tv let me have a look at...

    Pharo Bull Sale

    I recorded the PCC bull sale and watched it at my leisure. I've always been a fan of good cattle that can do it just on grass and was excited to see what they had to offer. The lot one bull sold for alot of money and I was anything but impressed. The structure was subject to critisism and...

    Linebreding or inbreeding???

    Most of the Pioneering breeders (not just cattle) are people who have developed a line of cattle that are very good and very consistent. These breeders also produce cattle that sire very good calves. The breeders are successful because these cattle are somewhat unique to their breeding...

    MYTTY IN FOCUS quit producing

    Its true, they say they hope he starts producing again but as of now they won't take any more orders on him. He is nine so it wouldn't surprise me if he was done. If he is done what is his price going to do?

    Cloning

    I've priced clones and they run around 10k-20k depending on how many. I've also been involved with cloning it is pretty neat but the practical applications are limited. It is another tool to forward the industry. I know of a handful of clones in my area but they are kept boxed up and hush hush.

    Irish Black Boasting?

    Doc, my question to you would be, do you believe the claims quoted in the original post are legitimate or are they being advertised as something they are not?

    Irish Black Boasting?

    I just can't buy the propaganda as good as they may be. I want to be able to see where the real cattle end and the myth begins because the myth part is hard to sell in the ring or on the rail.

    Irish Black Boasting?

    I clipped this from a website. Seems that would be very tough to prove. Same source Very Brazen and seems a little presumptuous unless the genome was completely mapped and all relevent genes catologued then tested for. Obviously all must test positive for every gene in the genestar test...

    The Article AGAINST Crossbreeding

    The key is to know what you have. If your cows have the genetics to produce Choice prime calves on a reasonable amount of feed then go for it. If you are in a Hot climate and have alot of ear in your herd or maybe a strong continental influence market them on the lb basis as opposed to a...

    F1 Bulls (again)

    I agreed with this statement but then i got thinking. If you have F1 cows and a purebred bull they would be more uniform then F1 bull and purebred cows. Because in the bull scenario the purebred constant is one animal and you don't have the animal to animal differences. With the F1 bull you...
