I don't know of anyone with clay tile roofs in my part of the country. I'm sure they have a long life. Plus I had to do what the insurance paid.

No, because I don't want the front side dirty when I flip it around!

Do my own. There should be several people up in your area that do A.I.

Well, it is an unknown. Bought back a commercial Angus 4-H heifer from a family. Said she was never with a bull. Guess what this is what she had and they said they didn't know what happened. So I guess she could be called an Oops!

I know left over Covid mask that I still carry around just in case.

1/2 the herd is Angus, the other half is commercial (show cattle type production cows)

If looking for steers, Here I Am, Wynn In Doubt, How Great Thou Art to name a few (keep in mind most of those clubby bulls aren't calving ease). Breeding maternal look at a lot of the Griswold bulls. For Angus if you want growth look at ABS and other semen company bulls. Breeding Angus for show heifers again a different story. Cattle Visions is another source of a variety of semen.

I was taught to bred by EPD,s, just look through a genetics supplier's catalog and use the EPD's to pick the ones you think will work for what you want to do. I have recently learned that can be detrimental to your herds future potential. I now want to research the pedigree's very thoroughly and pick sires that are out of very good cows, and have very high maternal traits, or maybe i should just say the cows that last a long time, and wean a nice calf. I believe some cows are stingy and keep a better body condition and wean lighter calf's, and some cows will provide all they can to produce good stout calf's and she will look a little run down at weaning, but so long as they are bringing you a calf at weaning they are providing something. She don't have to have the best udder but they need to have an udder that can nurse a calf. She needs to have good feet, I do and dont use EPD's for feet, i think feet EPD's are subjective because they imply a potential bias.... They also leave out certain data intentionally to make certain EPD's portray a false expectation, skew the data going into the EPD,s is the manipulation they are inputting, then they add in reductions on older genetics, in trying to portray new genetics as better potential, when that is not the case. I hope that makes some since.

@@derricksowers9074 Same is true with the registered Holstein breed. They push & push high genomic cattle & bull proofs, any cattle that have the proven old bloodlines ,they automatically receive a lower value or a negative index . I prefer to look for the time tested bloodlines on both the maternal & paternal side ,& ignore the hype of the bull studs. Old genetics never die, but the Holstein Assoc. buries them anyway.
