Haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd start with a huge one, ha! I was going through the pictures we took this year and updating our website, and I came across a bunch of cow family pictures and thought I'd share. First cow family "The Blackcaps" Matriarch: T E F Optima x J O Evolution...

Try buying a clip-in nose ring to put on the steer. If he puts his head down, you can use the ring to control him better and lift his head back up and stop the charge. For the kicking, we always put the calves in a blocking chute, then took a rope and tied it to the top of the chute on one...

The CEM EPD is the probability of a 2 yr old daughter being able to calve unassisted. I guess I'm looking at the bull at the RAAA site, going back in his pedigree on both sides, and I'm thinking of the animal I've had out of him and the others I've seen in person sired by him and how they...

Haven't seen much on him, I know i-80 is supposed to produce some good ones.

We have a great Big Sky daughter (bought her mom as a bred cow), we've kept every calf from her so far and have not had to pull anything. Her own milk EPD is a 37, but her udder is in great shape as of now, and she weans some big calves. Granted, this is only one cow out of Big Sky, and we don't...

BRG - I know "pictures say a thousand words", but I don't think the picture is telling the whole story on his feet. Thanks for mentioning it though, I'll have to take a closer look at his toes when the mud freezes up again to be sure. I'm guessing he was just standing awkward on the frozen...

Thanks! I want to make sure there isn't any major holes in him I'm overlooking.

From what I've heard about him from Angus and Simmental breeders, his calves are very stylish and 'showy' looking and a pretty complete package phenotypically. Supposedly, his calves grow well, despite what the EPDs say. Canadian animals that are dual registered with an American Association...

We're gearing up for sale season and have been snapping a few pics when the weather has been bearable. This is a pic of one yearling that we've had a lot of interest in. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on him. He's a Mytty In Focus x Cooley Menard 326S Numbers are: CED: 13 BW: -1.9 WW: 52...

Most go to outfits that are using black Angus or Simmental bulls, and are keeping the heifers out of these F1 cows for replacements. We have had people in the past use Charolais bulls on them for a strictly terminal calf and were very happy with the outcome. I've seen them crossed with...

These are all I have on this hard drive. All are out of Angus or Red Angus dams. These cows are F1 crosses, the calves are Red Angus sired.

Honestly, the beet pulp, barley, and soybean oil is all customized to the animal. When feeding the beet pulp, we use a feed scoop and give them 1 scoop if they are at the right condition, they get 1.5 - 2 scoops if they need to fill out yet, less if they're getting fat. The typically for...

That first heifer calf is right at 2 months younger than the bull calf.
