Thanks for all the prayers for Alison. She has certainly had a great year. Cant believe a year has gone by already. For those that are interested, the South Dakota FFA Convention will be broadcast online. The link for the schedule and link to go online to view the convention is...

For those that haven't been following the carinbridge the past few months, I have some good news to update. Alison has been doing very well the past month. Since they decided that the last round of chemo wasn't necessary, she has gotten to do some things that were very high on her list. She...

It looks like Alison is going to make it home today. A collague of her senior pics put together by Sage Studios

I want to thank all of you that have been praying for or have prayed for Alison. I am truly amazed and humbled that people would do that even though they haven't met her. I haven't checked in here as much as I used to do but I always felt that there were some of the greatest people on this...

Well we can argue over jurisdiction and all but the bottom line is there is no reason for the Feds to come in with helicopters, SWAT teams, snipers and backhoes in order to remove these cattle. They could have went in with a few people and gathered these cattle up over a period of a few months...

I hope they sell well. They have been selling them privately for the past few years.

That sounds great. I have a customer selling tommorrow in Mobridge. 350 bwf of which 200 are f1s and about 75 F1 RWF out of red angus cows.

Merry Christmass from north central South Dakota. May all our lives be filled with the spirit of Christmass.

I dont think its time to be just to doom and gloom here unless the price of oil drops significantly. The difference between now and the 80's is that we now have the ability to convert the excess into liguid energy and use it domestically or export it. In the 80's the govt paid people to store...

Wow, I have a customer with a 100 head of F1 RWF heifers he has been trying to put a price on. He wants to private treaty them but I think that they should take them to the barn and let the buyers fight over them. Now if someone should offer that on the place, I think he would take it. He...

Eliminating lethal genetic defects isnt based on emotion, for me its based on economics. Emotion is what drives lots of things in the purebred cattle business from auctions, to advertising, to epds, to cattle shows and AI companies. Lots and lots of people get caught up in their emotions in...

Everyone can do what they want with the lethal genetic genes, but I will lump them in the same category with other non desireable traits such as bad feet, bad udders, bad dispositions and any other traits that decrease the economic viability of the cattle I am breeding. The thing with these is...

Just ignore it as see what a problem it could become.

Blameing Dr Beever for genetic defects is about like blameing the fireman for the fire!! You might want to take a close look at who multiplied theses genetics for the past 25 years. The angus breed needs to thank Dr Beever for all he has done for them because without a DNA test it would have...
