Don't like him in the 3rd pic. Shows how a picture can make or break a deal!!!

His nose/mouth looks weird. Oh shoot - Joy is going to tell us he has an underbite!!

LOL - and I thought I had big cows. I have ONE cow that will go 1900# - not a HEIFER! They look good (and HAPPY)

That's not FAT on those calves. Sheer muscle!

Thank you - and they both have fancy red heifer calves on their sides.

Yes she is.

We have 6 lots in the Stars & Stripes Sale, May 4th, PA. Our cattle are not "clean" or fitted for the pictures for the sale catalog. We have to take the pictures in March and it is too cold and muddy to do anything about their cleanliness or hair coat. We were just winding down from our...

If I had a 51# calf, I'd be looking for triplets!!! LOL

LOL - I know what you mean. I have had 2 black bull calves tear their ear tag out. Luckily one is bigger than the other. Between filthy eartags that you can't read and missing ones, sure has been difficult to ID them!!!

I totally agree with you. Breed cows to bulls that compliment them - not by numbers.

Oh - Gizmom - that is an understatement. Picture day is GRUELLING---exhausting. Great idea having an animal on halter. We try everything. If anyone out there has more ideas to get "ears up", chime in!

In this day and age, it amazes me how people worry about calving HEIFERS. If the heifer is grown out properly (not starved), and bred to a decent (not cow killer bull), she should be able to lay down and spit out a good size calf unassisted. People should be more concerned about abnormal...

I know what you mean. Great feeling to have last one on ground.

Dave - your calves look GREAT. I think location makes a huge difference on the quality of cattle going thru the sale ring. Or you have magic eyes and can "see" what's in there incubating. LOL LOL It makes sense that quality/right type cows would/should have been bred to a quality bull. Buy...

LOL - adorable - but, won't last. Ears were mashed inside mom. They will "open" up.

There is lots of real research proving SC is VERY important. Bulls become sexually active at 28cm. Larger sc means higher sperm count AND larger SC means daughters mature at a younger age. So, no, we have not been fatuated with big nuts for nothing. See this 1 report. There are many others.

Here's a couple Porterhouse steaks on a serving platter. Marbling not showing well, but graded Choice. Main thing they are super tender - the #1 requirement by the consumer.

Yes. I will stick with my Simmentals that produce 725- 825# carcasses at 12/13 months old grading Choice. Simmental arrived back in the 70's already extremely high marbling.

Way too much white meat for my likings. It's the latest fad. Go for it. You lose a lot of red meat in your carcasses.

And you call that LUCKY?? Edit: My bad, couldn't help myself. Why chase marbling and sacrifice muscling? This animal has NO MUSCLE.
