srbeef, I like your cattle. IMO your cattle get better than average care. I have no doubt in my mind that should you decide to sell this bull you would be honest and straight forward in how he was represented to the potential buyer. My method would be: "Here is the bull, his sire was ...

Several years ago, a local beef producer was taking a hit on the price of his Simmental calves. He's the type of fellow who puts a lot of thought in his decisions when he's ready to change directions. He began breeding his Simmentals to red angus bulls. He has kept some of his heifers. He...

Hey now! Jim's a nice guy. Don't try to turn him in to an axhole like some on here.

Cattleman200, I guess I'm like the bumble bee which is not supposed to be able to fly but flies anyway. Hay in the winter, grass the rest of the time. Minerals year around. Produces way more than 400lbs at 205 days for me.

Man! that old gal's got the volumn. Yeah, I want some like her.

Red Bull, I took Alabama's remark to mean; I'd be more apt to lay the praise on pretty thick if steaks were GIVEN to me. I guess I feel the same way.

The key is your sample size. With a large enough sample, the outcome gets closer and closer to being evenly distribute between black and red.

Great pictures Dylan! On the subject of owls; I'm surprised with the temperatures you have that the owls have ANY ears!

I'm so old that I had my very own ration stamp books during WWII. Matter-of-fact, I still have one of them. Some of you may not know what ration books are/were. Bet Doc Harris can explain. I'm still living my dream: checking my black cows every day.

I think you're right WLM. Now I need to also ask, "what is a Power Plus"? I'm too lazy to search.

Buster, I've read, probably on CT,that it's brangus bred back to angus or vice versa. Either way seems to me it's just adjusting the ratio of angus and brahman in the offspring. In the region where brangus were developed they evidently found the 5/8 and 3/8 ratio the ideal. I suppose in other...

3way, in my view, "genetic merit" includes milk quality, does not just imply it.

dun, flip him 90 degrees and he'll be going up or down one of your MO hills.

I can't see the white switch on the tail of the ABS bull picture. May be hidden by his leg but I don't think so.

But we need a study to know why better calves are worth less :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol2: :lol2: You cracking me up here backhoe. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, a congressional committee is the way to go! ;-)

Iluvabeef, Think about it. If they all weighed between 1600-1700, they would be between 1600 and 3000. ;-) When I bought an angus bull from a seedstock producer in Maury Co., Tn about 4 yrs ago he showed me an old angus cow that was huge. He said he weighed her a few weeks earlier and she...

srbeef, Jim, dang you can't win can you. First two of the gals chastise you for being too modest and still claiming to be a novice; now limited experience with cattle is insinuated. Just keep doing what your're doing; you have some fine looking cattle.

Learn something new everytime I get on CT. I did not know that doctors were any better at tasting than the rest of us.

I agree with you Ollie. My first impression was; tight in the heart girth and the loins as well.

Mighty good weaning weights Hoss. Do you creep feed?
