Who was the actual person that didn't attend the sale because of me? Just curious, Thanks!Herefordcross":36no7lfd said:When someone claims to have sold me animals at a highly rated yearly auction, and I know in fact that they haven't. Then you are dag on right I'm gonna bring it up, a bunch of crap like that can tear up a sales reputation as well as the people attending it. I know of one person that didn't attend the sale because, they actually thought HFC was gonna be there.

largent & sons herefod are saling some moler sired heifer calves today.so id assume he is still alive or theres still semen available on him.the heifers are selling high $2000 to $2500.an they look real good.Hill Creek Farm":1wokxgdh said:I have this thought in my mind that Moler has either:
1. Passed on and that is why semen is so much a unit now.
2. He injuried himself someway and that is why semen is so high.
3. DeShazer, Moler, and Barber all want to watch his EPDS, so that they don't get out of control like when everybody used P606 and look what happened to his EPDS. P606's BW EPD a few years ago was -4.8. Then it jumped up to -1.6. Then it jumped all the way up to +7.3 and now I think its in the sixes. So, if anyone knows what has happened to Moler, please let me know. Thanks!
Moler calves are pretty popular right now. I got the Largent & Sons catalog and saw a few in there that I wouldn't mind owning.bigbull338":23e6k9dh said:largent & sons herefod are saling some moler sired heifer calves today.so id assume he is still alive or theres still semen available on him.the heifers are selling high $2000 to $2500.an they look real good.Hill Creek Farm":23e6k9dh said:I have this thought in my mind that Moler has either:

Hill Creek Farm":9r3ggwjq said:Why yes, Remitall Catalina 24H is the best uddered female on the market. ALthough she hasn't had a natural calf in a few years, due to extensive flushing, she is a big time cow. Very thick and very eye catching. She is a BIG COW! I bet that cow weighes in the 1700's or more. She is a tank. Of course, Online was a bigger framed bull, being an Embracer 8E, your gonna see some frame. I am personally not a fan of Online anymore due to the fact that his sons are having problems and I don't want to spread that into my "new" hereford progeny.

i am curious to know why you are looking to go bigger frame size wise. Is your current herd too small framed or is it your market, environment, personal preference or other reasons?
I am not critisizing, I am just curious as it seems that the rest of the world is going back to frame 5-6 animals.
You can PM me if you don't want to discuss this on the board.
HerefordSire":1cvwqvi4 said:I believe some of my 3008 daughters are around the same weight with a bigger frame. I would like to get them to 2,000 pounds @ 5 years old. I am very interested in big frames. So far, the largest frame I could find is about 7.7-7.8. Do you know of any larger? I believe Online has a 6.4 frame which is fine for me also, for starters. I like the opportunity of getting the Catalina influence in my heard. Since I can't get too much of Online because of the price, I decided to take a risk with some unproven bulls like Remitall Nitro, Profiler, etc. I am sitting on 16 Online embryos but would like to build up to about 50 to 100 in my bank because I think his progeny and semen will escalate in value in the years ahead. This is a good opportnity to buy his semen before it moves to $1,000 straw or higher. The breeders raising his sons & daughters will receive a premium in the years ahead when the combination of the right cow is discovered.

Mine won't , bulls at least don't. I have a couple cows that sure scare me about getting stuck. They have to lunge pretty hard.dun":3113ca1y said:HerefordSire":3113ca1y said:and they'll fit in the chute and alleyways.
