    Genetic tests in pedigree for defects

    Hey there. Considering a bull that has a lot of carrier stuff in it's pedigree. It's from a small seed stock operation. Bull is deceased. Has had a snp 50K test. It really doesn't say it's caf, ddf, etc at the top by registration numbers. If it had been tested it would say so. Sire rito...

    Heritability of phenotype.

    Well its bull buying season, and Im browsing the catalogs. The general rule of thumb is to buy a bull that looks awesome. Which I get. I think its also the traditional thought process. We would shop for looks cause thats all we had before we had "data". So I have often wondered how important is...

    Bio Mos vs Citristim...Good stuff or pixie dust?

    "Creating/Inflating EPD's"

    OK, another bull buying question. I know there are ways to "inflate" EPD's. I think one way is to early wean & make a huge 205 adjustment. I visited with a potential seed stock supplier. They have a good reputation. Yet you look through their catalog, all EPS's with actual bw and a projected...

    Topp Herefords

    Im looking at buying a Hereford bull. Have had several short visits with Ryan Topp. He called this afternoon, I was snoozing when he called so it took me a while to get the hard drive running. Im pretty sure I have the conversation correct though. Last time we visited we got side tracked on...

    Bull buying...carcass data

    Well its bull buying season again. I guess I have always used the actual data for rib eye/marbling vs. an epd. IDK which way to look at it. I imagine, that the actual scan data is sent to the association? Then how long do they take to add it to the epd? Guess just kinda wondering what your...

    NPN (Urea) vs. Natural Tubs

    For various reason Im considering supplementing with some lick tubs. Mainly Im slightly short on hay. Hoping to streach what I have using the tubs, plus adding some extra protein. Cake would streach better, but when I price it all out its almost a wash. Other option is of course buying hay...

    Flatbed gooseneck trailer

    For various reasons Im considering the purchase of a gooseneck flatbed. Kicking around new, but would prefer used. Mostly for just getting random stuff. Ocaisonally might haul a big tractor (14K#) or some hay. Not very often. A lot of people use 24' with 2 7K axles. Im sure it would get...

    JD 6150 series "R", "M", "D" p

    Kinda the same as my other thread.....anybody on here have much first hand experience with any of these models? Friend is looking to upgrade/trade. He doesn't like being a guinea pig, so leaning towards finding a lower houred 77/7810 like what he already has. Its sitting around 10K for hours...

    Any experiences using American made tractors imported from E

    Have a friend looking for a ranch loader/chore tractor. Like any of us, best bang for the buck. Looked at some used lower houred 77-7810 JD's. His pick if going new is say a 6150M. He doesn't want all the electronic gadgets that the R series has, and wants to stay away from the D series...
