JSCUNN I wasn’t able to make the SydGen sale this year. I did record it off DV auction site. How were the cattle this year? What were the better animals sired by? Thanks

I contacted ST about why there was no progeny data on Cattlemaster. They said until recently he was used exclusively in Brazil. So no data turned in to AAA. Should start seeing data turned in as he is used more here.

Lot 256 4,000. Lot254. 3000. Lot248. 3500. Lot249. 2900. Lot260 3000 lot261. 1750. Lot262. 1600 Lot264. 2500. Lot265 1600. Lot266. 3200. Lot267. 2700. Lot263. 2500. Lot246. 2600. Lot247. 3700 Lot242. 4000. Lot244 2100. Lot245. 1900. Lot243. 3600. Lot259. 2000. Lot258. 2950. Lot255. 2500...

Semen available from ST. Just wondering why he didn’t get more usage. EPDs look good. He was born in 2014 and most EPD accuracies are in the .4 range. Maybe he was used more in commercial herds. Picture, for what it’s worth, is on ST website.

I attended the sale. Lots of bargains. Lots of 3 in 1’s for $2500-$3000. Compared to TJ’s annual sale, prices were less than half. I have price on each lot if anyone needs info on a specific lot. Also attended the equipment sale the previous day. Results of that were much better with some things...

Why is there so much lag time turning in BW data and the calculation of CED. An example would be AAA Reg#17956722. It shows 1 progeny for CED, 64 for BW, 61 for WW and 32 progeny for YW. Why would an animal with 32 Yearling weights turned in only have 1 progeny for CED.

Just noticed another large seedstock operation is doing a complete dispersal. Curtin Land and Cattle selling over 400 head in March.

I think the Sydenstricker people do one of the best jobs around in regards to information provided to buyers. On most lots of younger animals they supply DNA results, ultrasound results, frame score, sale day weight and ALWAYS announce any issues a particular animal may have. Lots of interesting...

Scott Did you use Enhance this year. I had three by him,born last week of September. Nothing special early on but are looking better every day. Also I had one heifer calf from Black Diamond that looks really good so far. I missed most of the sale but I thought there was an Enhance sired bull...

For mature cows I am using SydGen Black Diamond, for heifers I am using SydGen Enhance. Using my bull on a couple of CAC cows and any others that don’t conceive AI.

I have had mistakes made by the genetic testing company on two different samples. I think the DNA results were accurate but the reporting of them got messed up. Still people involved in the testing and people do make mistakes.

If you are mainly selling weaned calves, the best bet would be to find a calving ease high growth angus bull and not worry about all the carcass traits. Whatever bull you bull I would look at the calving ease of the past 2 or 3 generations to give you better odds of getting a calving ease high...

If these tests are so accurate why is there so much discrepancy between Zoetis and Igenity. I have had a few tested and have found mistakes that the testing company made. They may have been clerical mistakes rather than mistakes on the actual test but either way when you get a result back it...

I agree that ten x doesn't look the greatest. But I have seen bulls that looked really great and then the offspring didn't. And I've seen bulls that didn't look that great but the offspring outdid the sire. Always nice to look at as many offspring as you can before committing to a bull. Not...

GAR 5050 Data Manager also has very good numbers, looks better than Anticipation but still not very muscular. He is ABS, Origen.

This bull is now up to -1 CED and +6 CEM

I have heard a lot of bad about the udders on 1407's. I have only had one 1407 and she developed ballon teats after 5 years so I am leary of 1407. The one with a double dose of 1407 would really worry me.

I think people tend to inflate the weaning weights of their calves so these would be good weights when compared to some that are inflated. I would take a 3 lb/day weight gain. That would equate to about a 700 weaning weight ( approx. 80 birth wt+ 205 days x 3 lbs/day).Were the gains quoted the...

I think the heifers calving ease and other EPD's need to be taken into consideration when making a decision. If your heifers are very low CED/high BW then go with the most proven calving ease sire. Also take into consideration all the other EPD's of the heifers since you are wanting to keep...

Three Trees Ranch is Georgia has black chars.
