I'd like to see 005 and 024 next to each other. Bull calf looks to be off to a good start.

I think the study has merit and I wasn't intending to take away from that. However, do you know of many commercial cattle operations who seek frame score 3 or lower bulls. What about a frame score 5 or smaller?

Quoted from the article: "The smaller cattle averaged 38 to 40 inches (frame score 2.6) at the hip at fall weaning, and the larger cattle averaged 43 to 44 inches (frame score 4.9). The smaller-framed cows were designated as “range” and the moderately framed cows were designated as “beef.”...

I do not screen potential buyers for their ability to care for the animal. I do screen for their ability to pay. I assume that if a person is willing to pay for cattle, it is in their best interest to care for that animal. Obviously there is a wide range of opinions on how to best care for an...

That is funny stuff there! :clap: :banana: :banana: Many similarities. I wonder if there have been any cougar sightings lately.

This is the same thing I learned! :cboy:

Ebenezer, don't you think it is amazing that breeds of cattle were developed without EPDs and DNA testing! Can you imagine the first angus cattle coming into existence without ANY DNA testing or EPDs. There is no way that could ever happen. It must be a fable from a child's book! (obviously this...

I guess my point still remains. People from all over the world read these posts. They will be reading these posts for years to come. They will be judging Ky cattle producers based on what a few posters on a cattle site had to say back in 2019 and pictures they saw. Most of the people who read...

My issue remains: I don't see why there is the need to run down commercial cattle operations, especially in KY. I despise a man who needs to push the small commercial cattle producers down to raise himself up. It just isn't right. If you have a problem with Ky cattle producers, you need to talk...

First of all, Midland could not test the majority of bulls in Kentucky. It says on their website they test about 1100 purebred bulls. 1100 bulls couldn't breed a fraction of the cows in the state. Secondly, the Midland test is a proof test for serious bull breeders. A test like that is what...

What really gets under my skin in this and other recent threads is that several members who sell registered bulls feel the need to run down commercial cattle operations, especially in KY. But, after giving it some thought, I realized that apparently commercial cattle operations in KY are selling...

Why wouldn't AHA be involved? It said in the article linked above: "Hornlessness is produced by insertion of genes from other cattle breeds that are naturally hornless." So what are the "other cattle breeds that are naturally hornless" - Angus?? So in effect, wouldn't you be introducing these...

I have one, but only one. She is 2 1/2 years old now. Raising a decent calf. I am pretty sure she settled the first service with AI. At least she hasn't come back in heat in 60 days. I have not pregnancy checked her. Those Jersey's are pretty fertile in my experience and I hope she maintains...

I realize that the weaning weights, yearling weights and mature weights shown in AI catalogs don't show the full picture. But they do show in relative terms what is going on. Angus cattle are getting bigger and I don't think you can consider them (as a breed, straight across the board) as...

Sounds like you did pretty good at the sale. I agree with everything Dun said. I noticed in the ABS catalog that the heaviest mature weights listed in the back are Black Angus bull (2700 lbs mature weight for Program). Black Angus also has the heaviest 365 day weight listed, Upshot at 1600 lbs...

I have Gelbvieh in the tank but I haven't used it yet. All crossbred commercial cattle.

For some reason I always thought Polled Herefords would not throw horns - as in they are homo polled. I learned from reading on here and a few other places that almost all Polled Herefords are hetro polled, so they can still throw horned offspring if bred to crossbred cows that are hetro polled...

sandyhill - not sure where exactly you are in northern KY but there is a small herd of belties around Union. I don't know that I have seen any miniature Herefords around here. I took a class last spring that ABS put on to learn how to AI cattle. The class size was pretty small (10 I think). It...

Thanks for posting the photos Hoss! They all still show some Jersey for sure, but look very beefy as well. The Gelbvieh put some meat on them, like I was hoping it would. I will see how the cross goes here and post some pictures when I get them to that point.
