I know there are some AI sires that are black Angus genetics "in a red suit". Has anyone used them and what is your feedback?

I am surprised this topic is not discussed much on the forum. Especially seeing the April futures for Live cattle at $1.0. In Europe COVID 19 is 90% of the news, but more and more people make remarks, that it is not their health, both their economic welfare that is going to be impacted.

What we are witnessing has little to do with US economy. China simply got their "black swan" that showed the emperor has no clothes. Big number of zombie companies (not generating profits, supported by government banks), inflated property prices, inflated debt etc. It is coming on global...

Dow Jones 30 has fallen almost 5k this week, slipping into correction. Many expect the supply chain disruptions in China to trigger a new financial crisis. At the same time SAV and other major seedstock sales in 2020 have recorded lower average prices for bulls sold, with almost no 6 figure...

As far as I know, Connealy are renowned for their female lines. At the same time they do not sell females, except for the Pick of dams. What happens to their heifers?

My cows do not lie on it, but trample it and there are some that love to start spreading manure and urine on the hay, which of course is left uneaten.

If you hear people insisting there is no bubble in housing, be certain there is one.

I just saw that SAV's sales report has been published at AAA site. Second highest selling bull S A V Terrain 9140 has $EN at Minus 67. Am I right to think that many people with keep daughters from him.

SAV America at $1,510k contributes to $3 647 per 414 bulls.

Highest selling bull at last week at Green Valley Cattle was with a -74 $EN. And sold for $140k. Most of the bulls at recent sales were with minus 50 and below. Where is Angus breed heading? Becoming a broiler business?

Can anyone post pics or give an update on the calves they have seen sired by Coleman Bravo 6313?

Thanks, I have been at the forum for more than a year. Posted 23 times :D . Been following the forum for several years.

First of all I would like to wish all CT members a healthy, peaceful and prosperous year. Ranchers like me from EU countries do not have access to semen from top Angus and RA bulls. The only option we have to obtain such top genetics is by buying embryos. So we have to do a lot of research...

If you do not register your Angus crop, why not use a RA bull like Brown Redemption? Will reduce size and add efficiency.
