I wonder about changing her feed to a heifer developer ration and up the amount. Talk with someone where you buy feed to see what they have available. I also think you should consider giving her some something like Probios or Fasttrack to help her rumen use the feed you put in her better. I...

Do a search for Chianina semen and youwill have several options pop up.

Chiangus will work good on black and blk baldy cows

Angus breeders please don't be offended. The crossbreds will be thicker, growthier cattle. Prob. have a little more bone. I can usually tell by the amount of muscle and bone.

I think they might just Simmy X Angus,maybe some Char. back there somewhere. The old Simmy bred to black would produce smokey colored cattle like the ones in the picture.

According to my USDA man, the double muscled carcass is graded inferior. That may be why they didn't sell as well as they could have. I think they have some good points. Reproduction and calving is going to be an issue with any double muscled cattle. I guess you just have to weigh the pros and...

I agree,I think we could breed Fullblood Chianina that would be more appealing to cattleman in the U.S.. On the same note Chiangus cattle are cattle that not only appeal but are some of the most productive cattle being bred. When I refer to Chiangus I thinnk of an animal that is 25% Chi or...

I think the ACA could take it. When I started breeding Chi cattle 25% was the minimum. Then they said females a 12.5% or more could be registered.I think that would work again.I feel it is within reach,may not be easy.I feel like breeders are digging a hole and it will be difficult,but not...

I think it should be 25% or greater before animals are registered. All the cattle I breed are 1/2 blood or higher. I have gotten the best production,both male and female with my 3/4 blood chi cattle.My kids have a whole wall full of grand and reserve Crossbred and Chianina awards from the past...

There are still Fullbloods available for A.I.,you just have to look and ask.They are the old bulls,but still good ones. I have read some of your posts and I think I will put in my two cents. I guess what bothers me the most is the fact that some people feel the need to run down breeds,when it's...

You have several options with the longhorn.Roping stock,heifer bulls and tough ole' momma cows. I don't have any but have been around a few.They do a good job as commercial cows. Plus you have the people that like to use them as lawn ornaments. I think they are a important part of American...

They could be Red Chiangus. If they are high % Chi. There used to be a few around in that part of the country.

Gelbvieh might be a breed to think about.

I think you wouldn't be hurt by putting them in the mix. Bred back to a beef bull,you might loose some bone and thickness. I bet you wouldn't see much Jersey in the calves that are 3/4 beef.

I understand,I guess I am going on and on. I was just pleading my case on the disposition issue. Disposition is a touchy subject with some breeders. Every breeder in the world says their cattle are dog gentle,ride'em in parades at christmas,and the other ole boys cattle are nuts.

I realize that you may think I'm trying to put the big sell on someone.I just know these cattle from experience,and know how they are.I don't have any fullbloods at this time,just because I had to make a choice because of limited land.Chiangus was the direction I went,but the old 5/8-Fullblood...

Even if you are just breeding for commercial calves, you need good genetics. A cheap bull may end up costing you more in the long run. If you just have five or ten cows,he may be a little high.If you intend to keep replacement females,you should buy the best quality you can afford,they are your...

If he is something you think will work for you and the seller will stand behind him as a breeder.I don't think 2500 is out of sight. Being able to see his calves is a big help.

I think these people just got into some blood lines that just weren't the best rep. of the breed. I know I've been around these cattle over twenty years now,and have had no real problems with disposition.I have had two old heifers that I couldn't get along with.They went to work in the fast food...

What I want is something that jumps out at you. I have seen some black cattle with a one letter freeze brand on them,you do notice that white letter standing out. I am just not sure it would be practical if I used the 3 letter design I would want to use as product recognition.I've seen some good...
