[QUOTE="Tom Underwood, post: 476290, member: 5097"] In terms of old lines, Nelson is using the same genetics that I am. We both bought our Lamplighters fro Eugene Henkel in Fairbury, NE. Henkel still has semen on Adv Mod Lamp 57, the bull born in 1952. Last year, I bought a half interest in Henkel’s herd bull, EEH Lamplighter 21: [url]http://www.herfnet.com/online/cgi-bin/i4.dll?1=232B21&2=232F50&3=56&5=2B3C2B3C3A&6=5A5D5C5B2224272F2E&9=5B5D5D[/url] I also bought the bull’s full sister and some others. The 21st is very inbred, and his calves do not grow when bred to other Lamplighters. They wean at about 325 lbs when modern genetics wean at around 550 for me. When outcrossed to modern Herefords, some of the calves seem to grow closer to modern genetics, but with the thickness of the 21st. My first outcross calves were born this Fall, so I am still learning. I have 8 outcross calves on the ground now, and I’ll have about 30 this Spring. Regarding the history of AI, Doc Easely and the Turn Ranch, I’d suggest reading “The Turner Ranch” by Stewart. Prior to the 70’s, semen was stored in ampules. Back in the 50’s, semen was stored in “magic wands.” I don’t remember how the semen on the 57th is stored. Much of what I am using is in ampules with either egg or milk. [/url] [/QUOTE]
