As everyone else has noted, the first cow pictured in your original post is definitely not purebred Jersey. She is definitely crossbred. Your pcitures of the other "mystery cows", I'd say the cow is part Hereford and part Shorthorn, but that is a bit of a guess on my part and based strictly on...

I really like that third photo of the heifer calf. Very nice looking! I'd take a few of her. I know some people used BC Lookout on their Saughatchee 3000C cows with good results in the show world. Lookout proved to be more than a "show bull" as he later earned Pathfinder status from the AAA. He...

Cool ... I'm a little north of you guys, just outside of Corvallis.

What part of Oregon are you located in? Nice looking cattle!

Very nice looking animals. I would be proud! :clap:

There is a ranch out here in Oregon that uses a similar style of sale for its annual bull and heifer sale; it's a "Cowboy Auction." Each bull or heifer has a minimum base price that the farm or ranch will sell that animal for. If there are no bidders, the animal goes unsold. If there is only one...

That young man is a tank ... and mom looks very nice as well.

I don't have an answer for you, but I have a couple of cows that are in similar situations. One cow has had seven calves, all of which I registered, but her AAA registration only shows four progeny. Another cow, a 9-year-old, is missing two of her progeny on her registration. Don't know what's...

Should have the bloodlines to be nice show animals. Good luck with them!

But those black Charolais can't compare to the Black Herefords! :lol2: :hide:

As noted, it is the percentile rank of the animal tested compared to all other Angus who also have been tested. The lower the number (1, 2, 3, 4 ...) the better that animal compares for that particular trait, and, in most cases, the more desirable that animal would be for that trait. The higher...

Did you get that sexed semen through ABS? What do they charge a straw? Just curious.

I would agree with Hoover Dam. He should be right up there for the past 10 years. Definitely one of the "Best Angus bulls of the past decade." Not sure we'll ever see bulls get used by the commercial and seedstock producers like we did with Mytty In Focus and SAV Final Answer. There are just...

Be aware of your background. It can be very distracting. Watch for angles of fences, panels, gates, posts, etc. Try and take photos in an open field if it is possible, or add/hang a neutral color backdrop to your corral to cover up the panels, posts, etc and parade the cattle in front of the...

Based on your location, I'm assuming you're referencing the bull sale at Chehalis Livestock Auction Market. I saw this advertised in the paper and have always wondered what type of quality the bulls were. Are they all registered or just purebred? Who's consigning them? Are these breeders known...

Looks like a very nice bull. I like his pedigree, and I love his thickness in those photos from the Florida Bull Test. Get him collected and offer him through Origen and make him available to the general public. Bet there would be interest in him. I think I might try a few straws! :nod:

Congratulations on what I think is a very good purchase. I have a copy of the 2019 S A V sale catalog and think you got a good buy at $5,000. Put him to work on your cows this breeding season. I wouldn't use him on heifers, however. Regarding using EXT (or the clone) or New Design 878, I...

Is/was Byergo Black Magic a fad? Wasn't it just last summer and fall that his semen was selling for $300 to $500 per straw? No one seemed to have any available. Now, ABS is running a spring special and you can get Black Magic for as low as $40 a straw this month.

I've been looking at this bull as well, not so much for me but for a friend who raises cattle for the feeder market. If I'm reading the registration for him correctly he has had ZERO offspring registered and he is now 5 years old. I don't think ST Genetics wouldn't devote space in their semen...

Kessler Angus in Milton-Freewater (Oregon) sold a son of Cowboy Up for $22,500 a few weeks ago. Hayter Ranch in Washington sold an Angus bull for, I think $21,000, last month. They may be few and far between, but there are some high-end sales here in the Pacific Northwest ... just none for $1.51...
