I believe in known genetics and knowing the sire and dam more than I do low accuracy fabricated numbers. I recently bought a polled Hereford bull to use to make black baldie replacements. He has 2 crosses to UPS Domino 3027 in his pedigree. IMO 3037 is one of the proven cow makers that have...

As a commercial breeder we have learned the hard way to not put any merit in an low accuracy EPD. I start looking if they are 60% or above and put merit in them when they are 80% or above. We ask for actual numbers. We use them, visual appraisal and progeny data from the sire and dam’s progeny...

Interested in what sire you went with? Not seeing your heifer or knowing you’re goals hard too give good advice on what you should use. Some of the Growth Fund genetics have worked well here. We are using a Connealy Confidence son as walking sire on them. Will use Jet Black and Musgrave...

Great set of cows and heifers. F76 is impressive. Wish it wasn’t so far too western Oklahoma. You have a true breeding program. Our results with SAV genetics has been mixed.

Not sure if it will be good or bad. I had a GAR bull that looked like a brother. He ended up on a bun at McDonalds.

Your experience is different than that of a few others I know who tried Waygu. It didn’t work for them and they have moved on. I could see if you have only ate grass fed where you might be impressed with it. We feed ours out on corn. The best steaks and hamburger anywhere.

Nice bull. We recently ought a polled bull also.

I listened online to the sale. They are a nice family. They for sure don’t overfed them.

Nice group of heifers. A good group of sires. Have semen on Iconic but not sure I will use it at least at this time. We are breeding a bunch of grand daughters of Growth Fund.

Those are truly cattle you will like every day you own them. They for sure aren’t pushed. In 90 days on good feed or pasture he will look totally different. I really like the Growth Fund genetics. They tend too look better every day older they get. We have one son that we own and have used Stock...

Had planned to attend the Christensen sale. Have been once. Great genetics. Not pushed as hard as most. Had just bought a Hereford a few days before. After watching them sale wish I had attended

According to the rep I talked too you keep your current minerals out. It is a supplement. Depending on the condition of the cattle depends on when you need to give a booster. We plan too give it to those we are AIing. That is the only reason we are giving it. Did give the fall calves we weaned a...

Thanks

Yearling bull I bought last week.

That research is done by people with no money in the game. I have been told that the results of a lot of research is determined before the research starts. If the results don’t come out as pre planned they are never posted. I have read the results of many of those studies. In all I have seen...

Which one in OK?

The only way he can attain those weaning weights is if he feeds heavy like he stated. Not profitable for the commercial breeder. His management style is high maintenance.

Most of the sales anymore have a base known to the auctioneer. If an animal doesn’t bring the base price they are sold to a number assigned before the sale. Sometimes they use several numbers. If you attend several sales a year it becomes easy too tell what the base number is. Many never notice.

If you have lost 2 farms maybe you should be listening instead of giving advice.
