    A Hereford to look at?

    Lots of Thomas Farms genetics here. p606 and phantom are both cow makers Top Secret when bred right can be a good one. Some of the nicest calves I have seen have been Top Secret over p606 cows. Nothing here that will cause problems, if she looks good and sells alright I wouldn't be afraid of...

    replacement heifers

    If I couldn't get 100 over high steer price for a good weaned heifer I would just keep her. For an unregistered animal. If its registered heck the price be anywhere across the board depending on bloodline sale and need.... Lots of "ifs" in this game. Red

    Black Baldies

    Around here a good White Faced calf will top the market. And you will not see many "good" heifer Baldies at the sale barn cause they are to easy to unload. I have a standing order for high market steer price for whatever number of F1 hereford/angus heifers I will sell. You ain't gonna see em at...

    Calving ease bulls

    Greg, I'm sure our winters would be considered tame compared to yours. Here most avoid deep winter cause you never know what your gonna get. But case in point, there have been alot of blanket statements made here with no regard to location, goals, and lifestyles of the persons involved. As...

    Calving ease bulls

    Jeanne, I would say that I watch mine more than you watch yours... lol Not for cash, cause it wouldn't make financial sense, but cause I love cattle, and I love my cattle. But on a side note, I don't know a herd here in ky that isn't a dairy herd that ever brings a cow in the barn that ain't...

    Calving ease bulls

    Not all but many heifers will, well that is if you have a registered herd thats worth a darn. If you don't than get out of the game. My point is about value, no commercial calf is gonna ever be worth that. So the amount of time and effort spent will be equal to the amount of perceived value...

    Calving ease bulls

    I feel the bull a heifer is bred to comes down to value. In a registered herd a heifer is gonna be worth 3 to 6 times what a comm heifer will sell for or more.... So it stands to reason that the extra time and money spent in AI and camera's and watching would be worth it as the return is...

Very free moving, I saw him in with 30 cows after the summer on forage and he looked great. Now he is a...

    NJW 98S DURANGO 44U

He has more growth than any heifer bull I have seen, and is a true low BW sire who makes pretty dang good cows. I like NJW's program also, I like the meade program but dont...

    NJW 98S DURANGO 44U

    His sire isnt that way I saw him a couple of years ago at the ky hereford sale. He was 5.5 or so by my eye deep with good structure and lots of pigment. Very free moving, I saw him in with 30 cows after the summer on forage and he looked great. Now he is a heifer bull, in everyway. Dont try to...
