    Brahma cross bull prospect

    I'll take a SWAG that he was brangus sired. Dad had a super baldy way back when. He threw some great market calves. Consistent. Everyone of his calves were baldy, no matter the cow color. When you are taking mutts, and putting together trailer loads of market calves, the value of a...

    Murray Grey Herd Pics

    Nice. Love seeing something like this. Sick of the brain washing. I like 808 too.

    Black Baldie Heifers

    We call that a super baldy. A baldy out of a brangus cow will ring the bell at the sale barn around here.

    Charolais and milk

    Brangus are my preference. 10 years or so ago I needed a bull BAD Looked at several that were not worth looking at. I found a Char our of Wyoming Wind AI project. I took him as a terminal bull to cover my brangus cows. I really liked that bull. Small calves that grew and grew. I...

    Longhorn Cross

    Some people have a way of chilling others. Some people have a way of welcoming discussion even when they have a different opinion. Some folks just go elsewhere. Some haven't been back here in years and say they aren't coming back. Each to his own.

    Bullit I was just shooting off. They spent a lot of money advertising. That worked.

    But Walmart has certified angus. Even certified angus hot dogs! Certified angus is not quality ? LMAO I can get prime cuts from HEB. Now that HEB has come to town Kroger is trying to compete and they now carry prime as well. 1 steer a year is not enough to feed us all. So when prime...

    They have a heart doctor in Fort Worth telling his patients they can eat all the beef they want, so long as it is longhorn. A guy who bought a steer from me year after year is now wanting a LH steer. I can't provide that.

    It is marketing. Advertising. They have certified angus hotdogs. Joe Consumer will buy Choice grade certified angus over prime. Most younger consumers are buying from places like Walmart and they don't know the difference between Select, Choice and Prime. If it is certified they assume...

    M-5 that's a hopeless endeavor. No comprehension there. Just leave it confused.

    Lowline Angus

    They've got a pasture full down south of here a little bit. Tiny angus cows. I don't think that herd has ever been wormed. They load up the calves a few times each year and haul them to the sale barn. The cows are around 7 to 800 lbs. It would remind you of angus back in the 70's. I don't...

    Wagyu f1 using black angus

    Nice to know. Front legs and shoulders were twisted and distorted. I think genetic because it was more than one calf.

    Wagyu f1 using black angus

    "twisted legs" I suppose would sort of describe it. ABS Genetic Defect Information TH is a disorder of multiple congenital defects seen in calves. Translated, the name refers to absence of all or part of the tibia (tibia = the bone between the knee and ankle in humans or the stifle and hock...

    Wagyu f1 using black angus

    Front shoulder problems on crippled calves. A neighbor wound up with two and called me. Pitiful. Neighbor was not a cattleman and had no business trying to raise them. We splinted the legs and that helped. Could be just the one line of genetics. My only experience tho was not good.

    Charlais x bremahn crosses

    I went from 81 cows down to 5. I still have my Brimmer/Char cross. My grandsons had a fit when I considered selling the 14 year old gal. They love her and she's always been a favorite. She is an easy keeper. My wife won't quit petting her. The cow was about 11 years old when we got...
