We've been real happy with the Final Answer cattle, but then we've got alot of EXT descendents that we haven't had much of a problem with either....so what the hell do I know? :lol:

Probably 50% of our cowherd have EXT bloodlines in them, and we've never had any problems with them. I have never had any udder problems with an EXT cow! Rbt

Cal,
We bred some of our hiefiers to final answer.... Everyone said it was the wrong thing to do..... Hope ours look half as nice as your does....
Bumper sticker is awesome!!!!

what did everyone say was so wrong with it? he has a negative BW EPD, doesn't he?with around an 8 CED i think. whats' wrong with that?
 
Cal, nice looken heifers by looking at the ear tags makes me wonder are you a reg breeder.I put alot of miles on in SD IN June I put on over 3000 on in state, and I try to take adiffrent road each way looking at your picture has me wondering where you are located at. I would guess west of Carter east of Senic and south of 44 am I close at all. I would narrow it down a little more if I had a map handy.

I think the reason some have been a little leery of Final Answer is his mgs is Bon View Bando 598-- which has been identified by the Australians as one of the sires that is a Fawn Calf carrier...
So far the US labs haven't been able to isolate the exact genetic problem- so haven't named any animals yet--but I know anything with 598 in their background has folks nervous...

Thanks...these cattle are just commercial. Hiway 18, W of Martin. HQ and most building sites on the S side of the hiway. These heifers are on south. Several miles from any respectable gravel road even. Better take your camera on all of your travels....Photobucket uploads are really a snap. :wink:
