Jay, I used Gerber Grainger back about 10 years, he is a 517 son pretty closley related to this bull. I liked the calves a lot, made a couple of really nice show steers. In hind sight I should have used him more.

What have you been doing with your calves the past few years? Is it working fo you, do you have a customer base established? If the answer is no I would consider change. I don't think you have to compete with or be like the big outfits to have success in the seedstock business. You do need...

Heifers need to be wormed. Overall looks like you have some good ones, lot of variation. Are the next 22 going to be Hereford also?

He will be fine left a bull. We have butchered a couple of our sale bulls that did not semen check good and they were some of the best beef we have raised.

I went to the Jenson Bros sale when they sold Redeem and several of his calves. I thought they were really impressive. I bought a cow and she had a Redeem heifer calf in April and I really like her, made very sound and she has grown very well. I think the Trust bull has a lot of potential as...

Seriously someone is selling bulls for $1200. A $1200 bull is 2 knife slits from being an $1800 steer.

Prairiegrass: I have used Harland, 3027 and Ribeye here are my observations Harland has worked great for me, very moderate easy fleshing cattle both heifers and bull sell very well in fact I can't keep the daughters because customers always find them and want them first. I will use him...

Excellent eye pigment but that is the only positive I see. Calf is too narrow and flat sided for my taste. I do think the cow is good, but not thick enough to mate with Feltons 517.

The pictures were complete on my screen, I think my monitor is bigger............ Knersie thanks for the comment, he is white eyed however his eyeset is very good. I have better luck getting eyeset to breed true than I do with pigment. We used this calf to clean up Fall calving cows, his BW...

Spring 2009 Harland Son out of a Boyd Z86 daughter. All comments welcome.

Oak: Your bull calves look really nice. I had the pleasure of walking thru the yearlings at SHF a couple of years ago and your calves show the influence of their breeding. Very deep sided and easy fleshing cattle, the kind we need.

Curious why you want to "add" frame? I could not see using a 60" tall bull that weighs 2000 pounds today.

This makes sense to me, for many breeders going through winter without bulls to care for would be quite nice. If your bull breeder is progressive they should have made considerable genetic progress since the last bull purchase. We are moving old herd bulls next week, it is difficult these old...

What does this mean?????????????????? and one day a bull got inside the local store.

I have used both Harland and 3027 and like the calves of both bulls. My first 3027 daughter will calve this fall, she is thick and moderate. I have not been able to keep any Harland daughters they sell so well I have let them all go. I have 2 really nice Harland bull calves that I am excited...

Thanks for the information on Progress. I really like the llok of my progress daughters, I will use him more this fall.

S&S What are your thoughts on the Progress daughters in production? I have 2 really nice fall heifers and wondered how they will be in production.

China delivery would be in packages, not on the hoof.......... I already said what was wrong with her, she is 1/4 holstein........

Real nice cattle, the old bull looks pretty complete. I love the udders on the cows, tight with small teats. The RA/GLV bull is well made but could stand a little more capacity in his heart area and wider chest floor.

I really like the first heifer, what is her breeding?
