Bull 19 was bred by Bert Anderson & used heavily at Bar Pipe......Commander son that was known as Andy.Was best known for maternal strength & fixing udders......one of the good ones from days gone by.

Well it is Easter and we're kinda sick of winter so we can send you down our next blizzard........how many feet of snow do ya want and just how cold can ya handle it??? :santa:

Hey ......we expect a full report on the sale! I've been watching the Sandhill program for quite a while and hopefully can incorporate some of their genetics this year through AI.

Can anyone spell "NON TARIFF TRADE BARRIER"! :roll:

We've been on Cargill's RightNow program for a year and a half......have been looking for some time for a mineral that is palatable and that our cattle will maintain a uniform consumption. They will pig out at first but the secret is to keep it in front of them at all times and not run them out...

NR---------I believe that was tried years ago up in your country by crossing black bears on Hereford cows....Bearfords!The only problem was in that it was a "terminal cross" as the resulting progeny tended to devour their moms while nursing! ;-) :P :lol: :lol: :lol:

SMFHerf- Amen, our family has been raising reg. Polled cattle for 65 years and we cull hard on any defects. We try to avoid problem bloodlines and known defects. Prolapse is NOT a problem in our herd and is easy to eliminate ........simply cull the entire cow family that presents problems! We...

One of the real problems with using EPD's is that people tend to select for extremes whether in performance or milk. Extremes usually bring their own set of problems- ie. calving ease, soundness, fertility etc.. It doesn't matter what breed of cows you raise, it takes a high volume easy fleshing...

We've had this program for years in Canada and it works excellent; no scrambling for certs. at registration time and once you purchase the semen it's yours! Lot's of decent cattle never get registered because of the added expense of certs on top of reg. fees. The top Heref. bulls are getting...

I cannot begin to fathom remarks about Boomers not milking; we've used the bull heavy and have over 20 daughters and a slug of grandaughters in production. Good uddered, sound, good producing cows that should last. Boomer is one of the best allround AI sires we've ever used and we will continue...

It's quite simple: when you do it in your own program it's linebreeding................when the neighbour does it it's inbreeding! The ad's and disad's lie in whether it's your herd or your neighbours :lol: :lol: Sorry Bif ......I just couldn't resist; I'll try to come back later with a more...
