About Time???

[Angus In Texas]

Has anyone seen any About Time calves? Have they been winning in the ring? Just curious.

 

[Avalon]

Never heard of him. Got a reg # or full name?

 

[Angus In Texas]

He's a composite bull. BCSN About Time is the full name.

Pretty Sharp looking. It appears that he is a TH carrier and horned or scurred. He may be a good replacement for Ali.
Low birth wheight etc. I'll be interested to hear what others have to say about him.

Where did you find the info on him carrying TH and the scurred/horned info?

 

[Avalon]

Start with bull barn genetics then follow these links

bull barn genetics info

http://www.simmental.org/index.php?pageid=252 (th info)

this last link worked earlier, but when I just tried it I had problems. You may just have to go to the Semmi web site and and look under the genetic defects.

Well this changes everything..... I definitely don't want to use a TH positive bull or a horned one. Now I am looking for suggestions that will add muscle through the rear.

We have a heifer out of him. Amazing hair, good bone, very clubby. Only thing is she never grew, has a plain head, and a little nuts. She's doing a really good job with her first calf though. We don't plan on using him any time soon. You can find more info on him at http://www.tentriplexranch.com .

Thanks for the reply Jessica. Nice website as well.

Do either of you know anything about a bull called Alias?

Pretty smooth looking Bull. Not Black but may still work well on the cow you mentioned.

I just PM'd you

We have a About Time steer and heifer and we love them. Both calves have excellent dipositions, structurly sound, lots of muscle, bone and hair. He does throw color. Both calves have done real well in the show ring. I would definently buy another About Time calf.

I have seen some calves out of this bull. Throws calves with good hair and sound structure; however, it seems that he may need to paired with clean-fronted moderate framed cows. Use with caution especially on shorthorn caws as he is a TH positive bull.

Great Bull for siring Show Steers, and Market calves in general. I don't think you'll find many good breeders using him in hopes of producing Breeding Stock.

Alias is good as long as you use him on very sound cows

Bold Statement is an About Time son that is TH free. We used him and like the calves, especially the heifers. The BW was a little across the board, bulls were a lot heavier than the heifers.
