If I could make it to all (and had pockets full of cash) I'd be like a kid in a candy store...
Going to try hard and make it to the Whitney Creek sale at least-- good cattle...Bad time of the year to try and get away-- with weaning, shipping, brand inspecting and all kinds of things going on-- but I've bought several from Taylor before- and would sure like to get down and see what he has to offer this year...

Frankie I have nothing against the concept of "Forage tested" but looking at that lineup I am left wanting.
When I see Bulls like SAV Final Answer and others with that kind of muscle and guts I get excited. Not by those scarecrows.

I suppose it doesn't matter Actors are never wrong just ask one. Whaddya say we start with that little commie sean penn and work up from there.
Seriously if it sells more beef I am all for it, as with most things you just have to take time to separate the BS from the Beef :lol2:

I see that Diamond D and Octoraro are also involved with this Tallgrass Beef program. Are Pharo and Whitney Creek part of that group, too?
As for that "commie sean penn", one of the greatest things about this country: If you want to join the Communist, Republican, American Independent, Libertarian, Democratic, or a number of other political parties, you have the right to do so.

You'd be surprised. "but there's still a cost for keeping a bull around for that long." that cost is minuscule compared to the way alot of them do it. Hey - let's put on a cowboy hat and calve in January and fill the creep feeders with bull challenger and let those bulls eat all they want for 6 months... man those are good bulls.

Land cost is the killer. If you can run 'em on cheap land for that extra year the two's can work.

that cost is minuscule
Big claim. Let's see the actual figures. Yes, it costs us about $500 to finish a bull on test (depending on feed costs), but he's ready to go to work at 14-16 months of age. Money is in the bank account, he's off the feed bill, and he's out working and improving somebody's cow herd. I'm not beating forage testing/finishing up, if you have some actual experience/figures, I'd be glad to see them.
