For some clarification, we have 100 angus cows and 25 angus heifers, give or take 10 depending on the year. We bred only 30 of them to Anchor. Of those 30, if my records are correct, there was four different sires in the pedigrees of the cows. So hodge podge, bad choice of words. My mistake...

"Hodge podge" was referring to that the cattle do not all stem from the same pedigrees. In the past we have matched up the cows to what we felt was the best bull to fit the cow based on EPDs and looks, if that meant AI-ing to 5 different bulls, that is what it we did. When we used Anchor...

I wasn't saying he wouldn't be a good bull for someone else. He just didn't work with our genetics. We've used other OCC bulls sired by Traveler and the calves came out just fine. For some reason, Anchor just didn't work.

What's that supposed to mean?

Not that I've noticed. We had a Northern Improvement cow chase my sister up the fence and not let her down tho (funny sight, the cow didn't bother me at all, I stood there scratching her :lol: ). We haven't had any of our angus cows being particularly nasty, just the snort and head shake, but...

Oh man, we have such a hodge podge of genetics in our Angus herd right now. We used OCC Magnitude on a couple cows last year, got some really thick (for angus) heifers out of him, about a frame size 5 or so which was a little on the small size (we like 5.5-6). We also used Dr. J Analyst but...

As the description on the bull said, "He will continue to be the best bull in the breed to change large framed, lighter muscled and structurally incorrect cattle. He even outperforms his sire, 6807, in this ability. Anchor daughters are moderate framed, very efficient females with great...

Haha, when they looked that bad we didn't even check EPDs before they got sent to the feedlot.

We used him a few years back. Bred him to 30 cows. Only kept 5 heifers out of him, and they haven't produced anything decent. All the bulls were banded and sent to the feedlot. Never again will I use him. And we culled based on appearance.

There's an article in Beef Magazine that gave the exact numbers, fyi.

I've been doing some research on AM for my Animal Breeding paper, and this is kind of a summary of what I've read: Gardiners' had an AM calf in the early 1990s and took it to Kansas State University to get it tested (the geneticist said it could be AM but wasn't likely). After that they raised...

I've heard through the grapevine that Ankenman's are slowly getting out of the business, could be rumors tho. Some of the bigger breeders -who have websites- I have heard of are D & D Cattle out of Nebraska (www.DandDcattle.com), Seven Lakes Tarentaise out of Georgia (www.tarentaise.com) and...

few more. sorry for the picture quality and sizes, my computer and photobucket aren't working with me tonight.

And some others...

Here's some pictures I dug up.

Ya, it took dad about 10 years to breed the snorty out of ours.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I have a couple cows that trace back... and bred them to carriers... only one Angus cow left to calve.

What breed?

I was just curious who out here had them, I myself don't own any, I only have Red Angus. Dad has about 60 head, and sells purebred bulls. We've shown them in the past.

Has anyone heard of or had this breed?
