I've been to several sales recently and have seen some really nice BR Midland (AAA #13898124) heifers so I'm considering using him. Any comments about this bull, good or bad, are appreciated.

Will be hitting him heavy this breeding season. His calves are thick and structurally sound. Bulls and heifers are very marketable. He is what you are looking for if you need an affordable precision bloodline bull
 
He is an attractive bull. What is his frame and weight? Who bred him? I know br but who is br? Wasn't he one of those dreaded "showbulls"
 
BR is Beaver Ridge. He got the name Midland from winning the Midland Bull Test. Not a show bull on the level of a leachman saugahatchee 3000C. He is a high-6 frame score bull.

Ollie' it looks like there is 2 of us that don't understand. I would like a good explanation from krenwic too.
 
I'm don't show myself but I do know that Leachman Saugahatchee is one of the most famous show sires in the angus breed. He is (was) owned by Champion Hill in Bidwell, Ohio and made famous in their program.

How does his sons and daughters perform in the real world, like his sons working in commercial herds in the western ranching country. All I ever hear of is his daughters winning championships in a few Junior shows.
 
His daughters are just now old enough to be in production, so I would say that the jury is still out on that for a little while. However, as much as he is being used at progressive places such as Express, Mountain Meadow, Vintage, Riverbend, Etc., I would say that he is the real deal. He has one of the best carcasses in the breed. He is on everybody's list of sires to flush their donors too.

My comments were in regard to Leachman Saugahatchee. As far B R Midland goes, I guess we will see if he is the real deal after we see some of his yearling sons and daughters numbers.
 
Midland is a good bull and has been popular in East Texas. ABS (thru ORIgen) has a son of Midland and a Rito 3X25 dam, Midland Empire. His numbers seem to be competitive. Midland himself has produced many show cattle, looking through the Angus Journal, so you know they are eye appealing cattle. How well they do in the pasture is still up in the air.
 
This looks like one of the better types of Angus to come out of the US for a long time. I'd be happy to use him over some of my South Devons to produce our Australian, Angus/South Devon composite called Australis. I have a small herd of Australis mainly 3/4 South Devon 1/4 Angus and cross them either again to SD or to a A1 Australis bull (3/4 SD 1/4 Angus)
Thats my 2 cents worth (we actually don't have one and two cent coins anymore,the smallest is 5 cents)

I am going to breed him to some Angus F-1's. I am going to breed for Sep. calves. To get some comm. heifers for the ring. If I like the calves I will breed to get some may heifers. The bulls will go to the Stockyard and the heifer will be shown.
 
I'm not sure I would agree with the statement his calves are structurally correct. From calves that we have from him, and other people I've talked to, I would not use him for other than terminal. Calves are cow-hocked, and they have soft pads. Front feet tend to roll over.

I took it as an opinion. I have seen some of his heifers. Did not get a look at their ultrasound numbers. I know a breeder that has used him on heifers and has had no problems. Shows good promise in my opinion. I will wait.

Angus and what F-1? Some other species in the cross? Something to shorten gestation?

Or are you going to skip a year of production? Because there's no way that any cattle I know of can have a calf in September and have another one in May. Be a neat trick if you can get it done, though.
 
this forum made me realize why I quit posting on Cattle Today. For those of you who know it all already, why read or even log in. seems like a waste of time to me. good job guys--just lost a source of info in myself. after all, isn't that what these types of forums are for-to learn. advice, take your energy you use on sarcasm and use it to research your cattle operation and where it is headed.
