    Gelbvieh Bulls Which do you prefer and why

    It is the same Bull taken Two hours apart. I couldn't believe how different they look because of lighting, distance, background, and angle. The picture with the hay is representative of the Bull. It was taken up close. The other picture was taken from 50 ft. Zoomed in. He is a 2 year old. It...

    Gelbvieh CE EPD change

    Many of the big boys are running a lot of Balancers. Some have nearly all Balancers. May be why the change was made. Or could be they needed to change to fit the genomic EPDS. When they come out we wil probably see another drastic change.

    Gelbvieh CE EPD change

    The trick here is convincing your customers. They look at these numbers. These numbers are meant to be a tool to prove the genetics. Perhaps the new numbers will work they certainly proved the old ones were pure BS.

    Gelbvieh CE EPD change

    That's my plan. You know in the area we are in, as you must be fairly close to us. Calving ease and low birth weights are the 1st thing people look at when buying Bulls. Then they look at weaning weights and milk. Now we need to tell them about how the numbers have been all BS. Buyers here are...

    Gelbvieh CE EPD change

    Gelbvieh breed released their new EPD's this week. As I thought this may be horrendous for some and a God send for others. The Calving Ease EPD has completely changed.

    Pretty ticked off

    If the Bulls are being shipped out of state the Health papers must say Virgin Bull or if over 24 months Trich test neg. This is because most states now require this for Bulls coming into their State. We checked with TX, OK, AR, and KS. All require this as of the 1st of this year. So if you sell...

    Pricing your Bulls

    This is a question to the seedstock Bull producers. How do you come up with the prices you put on your Bulls each year when selling off the farm? I have heard some say they use a formula based on US cut out prices, I think that was the index used. Anyway, just interested to hear what most Bull...

    Bred Balancer Heifers

    Doc You can't just get rid of hornflies. I use a good mineral with an IGR. I use backrubs. I spray at least once a week, usually twice a week. But we stiil have flies. Not bad though. I will say you do not find many flies around the manure.
