Ali followed the cow pretty much, but the calves did come small and take off at about 8 months, I80 is supposed to be a little better at changing the cow some. You might get a decent steer out of the breeding, you could get some real good cows for breeding club calves out of I80 and your cows...

Red Bull Breeder here you go: "Utilizing the strengths of two breeds, the American Gelbvieh Association created the Balancer® program. Balancer animals are registered hybrid seedstock with documented pedigrees and EPDs. Balancer cattle are 25-75 percent Gelbvieh with the balance Red Angus or...

Do you take the sire into consideration, heifers BW, or femininity? If the sire is the terminal type do you want to keep the heifers? You don’t want to use a bull that had a 117 pound BW, do you want to keep a heifer that did? I early on I was told that a cow should look the part, not like a...

She could easily be a Sim-Angus or Main Angus or even a Main-Sim-Angus cross, she looks similar to these cows. First cows is Sim-Angus (calf is Main-Sim-Angus, pictured as a cow in the second picture) Ear set is similar, the Angus cow the the Sim-Angus is out of had the same ear set to her. Both...

The link at the top of the post took me to last year’s sale catalog, I had to go to their web page to find this year’s sale catalog, could be why there is some confusion.

Some pictures of pure and 3/4 main the last bull is a Main Sim/Angus bull I only pictured bulls that listed as clean; the last is a cleanup bull from an operation in California. There are some with muscle and guts out there just like all the other breeds. Here is another of the last bull...

Not defending them but most will have a picture pen, they run one bull at a time to take the pictures, and they may take 10 to 30 pictures to get one good one. In some of the pictures the straw is lower, some it is at the knee. They may be hiding something they may not be, but that is why I...

This was discussed on another board as well, several sellers responded, depending on the time of year and the weather conditions; they put down straw, or corn stalks to get the animals out of the mud, it also helps with contrast in the pictures. Some are trying to hide flaws, but for the most...

Do not worry about starting them on grain too early for your weigh in. I would get him started on grain right away, start with about 6 pounds a day, and all the hay he wants, work him up to 3% a day over a months period of time. By starting on grain earlier they will grow out and not up. A...

First 10k is rich for me as well but if someone is willing to pay it, more power to them. I have used the lower birth weight main "Cowens Ali" calf came small out of a Sim/Angus heifer, and they seem to disipoint for the first couple months and then they take off. As far as the breed I would...

The thing is his breeding is maternal on both the top and bottom side, I did see a few of his calves, they were all younger (clean-up) but looked similar to his full sib I pictured. The ranch manager said he would work for both steers and replacement heifers (they raise Angus, commercial, and...

I did not go in with him, but as far as mean I do not think so, he was by the fence and did not even seem to care I was there, he looked at me as I got close then went back to sleeping. It took all i could do to get him to move so I could get some pictures. He is a 3 year old clean-up bull.

Here is a Main/Sim bull out of Irish Wisky He is a beast the third picture is him in the background a full sib in the front.

I was looking at some calves last weekend and took a couple shots of this 3 year old cleanup bull, he is an Irish Wiskey (Main) and Simmy, the baldy bull calf is his full brother, he is the bull directly behind the baldy calf, the bull has a butt on him.

This is based off of one picture of each, in real life and on the move it could all be different but here goes. Right or wrong this is how I see them 4-1-2-3 #4 has balance, is deep sided, good hipped, decent length and has a nice topline, she looks like she could produce calves for you to...

He may not but the cow behind him sure does, the bull looks like he could use a little more power but not a bad bull.

looks better than some bulls I've seen posted. At least he looks like the breed they are claiming him to be.

Don't know if you have a blower or not but rinsing them 2 to 3 times a week sure helps them get used to being handled, between the blower and the scrubbing and combing. We start them on the show stick early too, once they find out they like being scratched with it, you can halter them by just...

midtncattle- I would keep him on what he is on until he is gets over weaning then start working the grain into his diet. Work him up to 2%-3% percent of his body weight in a grower type feed adjust the amount of feed as he gains to stay at the 2-3%, free choice hay or pasture, 90 days out add...

Holding one is much easier than pushing one. Good idea to skip the first one, my first steer was like that, full of muscle best looking calf in a pen of 80, a broken hand and bruises on my back and chest from being penned to the fence, help determine his future as a freezer steer. If all the...
