    What Age Do You Take Steer to Butcher?

    Our commercial cattle that are born in November are turned out on the desert in April, trailed up to the mountain and weaned around September 15. They are put on feet targeted to hit the April boards. I guess that's 17 months. I'd think pasture or confined cattle could get there much sooner...

    GAR Sunbeam ?

    In the latest catalog he's listed as now deceased with limited semen available. I've used him to the point I have a few daughters & I have sons to sell & use so I didn't buy this year but he's a proven sire with not many holes. Watch his video & you will see he's closer to lazy than flighty &...

    GAR Sunbeam ?

    Used him for a few years now. Docility is fine. He’s a nice all around bull. My first sunbeam daughters will calve this spring.

    GAR Angus - comparisons

    Prophet is a proven Bull so I’d actually trust the numbers here & this is what they tell me. No real foot issues, tons of marbling & a lot of growth. He has good calving ease but shouldn’t throw the little dinks some super low birthweight calving ease bulls do. To me, a different phenotype & I...

    New Bull

    Nice Bull. Would like to see more marbling in a Bull used for that purpose & that milk is lower than I’d want in my high desert environment. To me he’s designed to put lbs on calves & not to make replacements but he looks good.

    Sale barn pairs

    If you go to the sale bottom feeding you are taking that risk. If you buy good healthy looking cattle you generally do fine.

    My new Wagyu bull

    Great information. I wonder if Dairies would benefit more by going one round of sexed semen for replacements and then just letting live beef bulls do the work after that. Most beef bulls are no where near as hard to handle as a jersey bull which is why many don’t want them around. Also, does...

    Oh lord! Props to cattle photographers!

    That’s funny. I always want the rear leg slightly back in the side photo. Seems like they naturally stop with the opposite pose. Just take a ton of pictures from different angles & heights but still it’s not very easy. Just look at some of the awful photos of ai sires.

    How did I do?

    I don’t hate the bull you sold. Need better pics on the one you bought. If you got what you wanted you did great.

    My new Wagyu bull

    Has he been semen tested? The sheath strings would usually be removed for that & the breeding soundness exam. I can’t sell bulls without a semen test. If he was tested what was his scrotal?

    My new Wagyu bull

    One billion Asians are now extremely unhappy with you :banana: Seriously though the bull looks ok for what he is in the photo. What are you breeding him to?

    My new Wagyu bull

    you Say he has no ass but I’m more worried about other things a bull needs that didn’t make the photo.
