We never used a walking bull before, but raised this guy from an embryo and liked him enough to try him on a few cows last spring. He is 12 months old in one pic, 14 in the other. Also, his dam is pictured. We are selling him now, since we really do not want to use a walking bull.

We are all great! Two kids out of the nest now, so life have changed quiet a bit. Our middle daughter took off to college to get a nursing degree, she comes home on weekends but I sure miss her most days. She was the work horse in the family. She did most of the breeding for us, so this fall...

Been awhile... thought I would post about Farm Fest. It started yesterday, sold our oldest bull (Broadway x Deception embryo, 11 months 1160 pounds). Stop by and visit if you are around!

Sale time for us. We are trying something a little different this year, and put this little lady in an online sale that starts tomorrow: She is out of Upperclass, and her dam is Simmi Valley Zsa Zsa (a cow Jeanne raised). She has a heck of a really nice Sept born bull calf on her sired by FEN...

We use 99% alcohol, one gallon, and about 8 pounds of dry ice. Something we learned earlier this year, have a deep container. We have always used an old, Styrofoam fishing cooler. We tried a smaller one, and still made sure the brand was covered by several inches of the cold liquid. The brands...

That Shear Force cow is one that I also provided to you, as an embryo in another cow you bought. She has some great genetics, I regret letting that one go. You persuaded me. I want her back. Bring her when you bring the bull (s).

We are THE. All I have to do is report birth weights, weaning weights, and yearling weights when I can get them. It cost me $15 (IIRC) per cow and I get registrations and EPD's for free on all my calves.

Yes, she is due the first part of September. She may not make it to state fair if she keeps developing! We have a ton of clover this year, and it is said that they will put on an udder early because of it, so that might be why also. Here is a picture of her dam. This cow has been flushed a...

3384894 He is in the top 1% of the breed for calving ease. I have not pushed to advertise, and this is the OLDEST bull we have ever kept around, because we wanted to show him. This is a hard time of year to sell bulls, since everyone has spring breeding bulls out already and fall breeding bulls...

We had a pretty good show in OK this year. There were 300 plus head of cattle there competing, and we made it to the top with two! Our bull was 6th overall purebred bull. He is in the top 1% for Calving ease, and we like him a bunch. I just wish I could sell him! Our son picked up this...

My son is 5'9". The bull will likely frame 5.5, maybe 5.8. Remember, he is only 15 months old, so he is still growing. He weighed 1310 Friday. To put it in perspective, the steer is the same size as the bull. The steer weighs about 15 pounds more, but frame wise is just a notch taller. Here is a...

Yes, I meant famous. The Champion bull was a Shell Shocked. The Champion heifer was a Bandwagon. Our Shell Shocked heifer was in the drive, but was not selected. She is a bit small for her age, but her dam is not a big cow either. At 11 months, she weighed 776. So to answer your question...

The donor cow had to be tested prior to allowing registrations. She was negative for both. I would not buy embryos on any carrier, period.

Thanks! We had a show today, here is the first bull better pictured. He won Champion Simmental bull. We were pretty happy with that!

Their BSE was just done May 24th, and doc says they are ready for work. Both these boys are calving ease models. I am putting them up for sale this weekend. The first bull is FSSR Shocked Explosion...

We had a calf one time that originally did not DNA back to the sire. It was an embryo, dam was SS U Nights Misty and the sire was supposed to be Lock n Load. It was the third embryo, and the other two DNA'd back to LNL, so we were all confused. They typed the calf to every sire that cow was ever...

I love it! Our steer is pretty darn good looking too, and stands out among all the black hides! He is up to 1195 as of last weekend, and still can pack on another 300 pounds and NOT be fat! He will be one of the biggest we have raised.

I took some pictures this week, in my little time I get to spend with the cattle now! I wanted to share a few. On a side note, since we have lived in Missouri, never in our time have we EVER gone out to grass past the 14th of March. Well, we are STILL feeding hay full time, and likely will not...

First, anyone that has owned a Built Right female know's their value as a productive cow. There is a reason his semen goes for $150 a straw now, if you can find it. His female's do not typically have a problem with attitude. I would take a pasture full of Built Right females! That 07 cow I have...

We have a cow that is an 07 model, Built Right sired. She is easy to work with. I have two Built Right x Angus cows that are OK; not your friendliest, but by no means crazy or dangerous (both embryos from the same flush). Our best show heifer this year is a Built Right x Wide Track, and will...
