And OT if you use a red bull on black cows, your still going to get black calves, as long as your cows are ALL angus. Wink


Heck I used a black bull on black cows and got red calves but they sold right with the blacks good cattle are worth money no matter what color.

Thank you all for the nice words. We're proud of them, and it was very hard to let them go, but we'll breed more (hopefully!) and did retain a flush interest in them both, so should they turn into good mommas, we can hopefully get some of their genetics back in our herd.

I need to apologize to four folks who I forgot to thank in my first message Embarassed the heifer sale would not have been nearly the success it was without BRG (who I remembered!) and his crew (who I forgot Embarassed !) of: Kyle Gilchrest who auctioned the sale; and ringmen Terry Robinson (Farmer & Ranch Guide) and Wade Moser (ND Stockmen's Assn.) It takes two to tango at an auction, and I'd also like to thank the contending bidder---the same North Dakota breeder in both cases.

OT: Yes the brand is Broken Heart, and that's our ranch too. Try the red ones, I bet they sell just as good as the blacks...just ask Murray Dignans. Plus you'll get mostly black anyhow!

The bull is an easy keeping rascal, maybe the most easy keeping we've ever raised. He looks like his pic year round. We're hoping his females keep as easy as he does!

NR: You might hate it when your competition buys good ones, but your company wouldn't come look at him! Your guys got a good 'un in your Herf, so I'd say it's an even trade here on ranchers Wink Congrats to you too!

Cheers---

TTB Wink

Congrats on the bull! Looks like a dandy, Lazy Ace posted him before and I thought he was a stud! He should be a great asset to the breed and ABS.

It is interesting that BHR Logan 734 always seems to show up in the cattle you've posted. He seems to pass on his good looks!

You're a sharp cat AX- to catch that! A good chunk of our really good cows go back to 734B. He's a true female maker, plain and simple. His daughters are beautiful, deep ribbed, have great feet and udders, and look like ladies. And, they marble. Kyle Gilchrest said one time that 734B was the best Logan 210 son he'd seen. Kyle even asked about him this weekend. I don't know if he'd still classify him in that catagory, but he's done us well.

In our limited testing of crossing Dakota Copper with 734B, we're finding that you can breed about anything those females, and they have a nice calf. A long term continuation of that trend will be the true test!

When are you going to post a pic of your good looking Forster bull here? Get on it kid!!! He's a good 'un!

Best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and great New Year to you and yours....

Cheers---

TTB Wink

PS Please send my greetings to Jason and Jackie Smile
