Tough conditions? It looks beautiful in that video. They even have a pivot. There is nothing on my place that looks that green in August. I know they have extreme heat and but I wish they would have shown more tough conditions. There was a quick scene of some desert. But a good promotional...

The first part of June

Northwest of Glasgow

I just wasn't sure on the pigmentation of the eyes. I have had such problems of cancer eyes in the past, is why I am so concerned. I am anxious to see the calves, I am also concerned on my A.I.ing abilities on heifers.

Can anybody give the name of a Hereford bull that comes from a solid line of cows with good udders and teats, that has good pigmentation of the eyes and scrotum all in the same package with a frame score? I would like it to be under a 6 frame if possible.

I used him a little last year, with your recommendations. I haven't started calving yet. Did I read that bull died?

Its been 15 years since I have owned a hereford bull. I am not familiar with the pedigrees, I am looking but can't find what I want either. Maybe its too perfect of an animal that I am looking for, but I would like to see more info on the animals. I want good teats, udders, pigmentation on...

I don't believe that the Angus Assoc. requires that you use it. When you enter animals into a computer system, you need something to differentiate animals born in different years. BYMOREBULLS has it correct in his post.

I'm stilling looking for a better system also. I do 90% of the tagging/weighing out in the open by myself. It's rare to catch a calf right next to the pickup. Not easy dragging it back to the pickup to use something on the pickup to help lift them up. I thought I could rig up something on the...

What are doing calving in Febuary? Did you plan that one? I'm not sure what to think about you bottom river dwellers. ;-) You'll find out how much vigor he has if you don't get him tagged. :) But it will probably fall of with the ear. Anyway nice calf. It'll be nice to see it as it grows...

I have never used any of the sires you are looking at and it also has been several years since I have bred any Gelbvieh. Not sure if they are black gelbvieh or red. The last I new the quality was not quite there yet in the blacks. The Gelbvieh I had didn't seem to grade very well. So maybe...

Northern Rancher who visits this site has some semen for some good hereford bulls. Also, Brian Simon in South Dakota has some good ones I am told. He visits this site once in a while, I believe as simonhereford. I have been looking for the same thing as you, but haven't made the commiment to...

Maybe the picture does not give him enough credit. I would question why is he so gant looking? From what I see he does not have much of a butt. Now from my own experience with " black" Gelbvieh which has been several years back, they were hard to keep around. The cows were not easy fleshing...

I found the Bull that I was mentioning above. It is under the index of "Cattle Today" under semen. I'll try put the link here: http://sementank.com/hoodrichman724.htm I have not done any research on him, but the picture sure scares me.

There has to better bulls out there! It has been a few years since I looked at Gelbvieh, but at that time they had a long way to go with the black side of things. The reds still were better in my books. That reminds of a picture of an angus bull I seen recently that someone was selling semen...

My first opinion is that you maybe should reconsider the Black Gelbvieh. Maybe the breed is a little better now, but several years back they had a long way to go. The red seems to still have it, if you were looking for Gelbvieh. Your choices will be limited, just for the fact there is...

KMacGinely, First I wanted to know what I was getting, if I had to pay good money for them. It is just like buying a bull. They come into the ring one at a time. Not like commercial cattle where you buy 10, 20, 50 at a time. No, I don't always get cattle bought at these dispersions. To...

I'll share how some of those registered females got into my commercial herd: After several years and several tries of buying commercial cattle, so often I find poor cattle for very high dollars. Then I kept attending angus dispersions and kept picking up cattle for the same price as...

I would like to have most of my cows in the frame score 5 area. But it all depends on how they come in for a body score and what they weaned. I try to aim for the calf of 50% of mothers weight. Some cows are too easy fleshing or just don't give to their calf, thus small frame -large weight...

I guess you southerners just use different lingo ;-) . I think I would rename your BSE to maybe a "BT" :lol: Sorry for my confusion, I thought your bull had BSE, but some say I am full of BS.
