Yes, that is a great point. I am not really wanting to keep any replacement heifers. The offspring will be to finish out as feeders.

Thank you for all of the good info! I want to go take a look at him. Or at least ask for pictures because there were none on the ad posted.

I’m not too sure on if the breeders are grass fed oriented. Neat that epd’s show what cattle put in fat better than others, that’s an important quality! Can you tell me what epd shows that? And how to read it?

They are asking $2,000. Do you mean slower growth as in lower weaning weight?

Ran across this bull for sale on Craigslist near me. I know nothing about EPD’s but I want to learn. Just really wanting a decent bull that will be good for heifers. Thoughts...

Wow huge calf! I love Brahmans, I hope to have some one day.

I love seeing everyone’s herds! Some nice looking cattle, keep the pictures coming.

First 4 pictures are my cows/heifers. The 2 angus heifers (hopefully bred - blood testing coming soon) could have been registered but I never bothered. The last picture is of my steers, 5 are being processed in September. There are some Angus and Shorthorn. Show me pictures of what you have...

Admire your cattle! You can see the hard work you’ve put in to get those nice heifers. Also yes to the nice birds in the background noise! Never heard birds noises like that before, but I’m in California.

Thank you Ken. You are right, they are two nice heifers added to my herd. I am happy about that for sure!

Yes I agree, Kenny. I have a enjoyed every minute of raising cattle. It is a way of life for myself for sure!

Thank you. I kick myself but I know that when mistakes are made, boy do I sure learn from them!

A BIG thank you to those who have helped me with this and educated me more on the registration process.

Lol no excuses here, thank you for the positive comment. I thought we were supposed to build people up not shoot them down. I’m not looking for criticism on my lack of ignorance. You don’t know all of the circumstances. Basically I trusted someone who I thought knew about his cattle. I was...

Since this is all new to me, I’m uneducated with the process and he made it sound like it would be an easy process. Little did I know that he didn’t know who the sires... nor the birthdates now. UGH. I’m learning the hard way. I think I’ve concluded that theses heifers will stay commercial and...

Yes that’s the issue I ran into when I called Angus Assoc. He doesn’t have a membership. I’m now wondering if I should just not bother with registering these heifers.... I’m learning from my mistakes!

Can you please explain what “tattoo” means?

That is basically what he relayed to me is that for him, the hassle of registering is not worth it. I just would like to see more potential in my small herd so that I do have the option to register other offspring. Yes that part was difficult because he doesn't know the dams, just a guess as to...

Honestly, I’ve had cattle for almost 2 years now and so far, I’ve only raised and finished out feeder steers, and have a few Herefords and now these angus. I’ve always wanted some really good registered Angus stock. It’s just always been a dream of mine. But I understand your point, much more...

Thank you for all that great info! I did call Angus Assoc and I gave her the information on the 3 possible cows (that are registered). She said that 2 of the 3 have DNA on file so it would be process of elimination on what heifer belongs to what cow. The gentleman I got them from has registered...
