Major Debate!!

[Northern Rancher]

Every year at A'I time the kids start wheeling and dealing on who gets what calves for 4H-this fancy shmancy guy is the center of alot of controversey lol. He's an A'I calf off of Major League is kind of a nice critter-I got a b'day coming up so I just told the kids whoever comes up with the best presant can have him lol.

 

[Red Robin]

He's a stout calf. He's not as fancy as we like them in our steer shows but he'd make alot more money in a feed lot than alot of the fancy ones here. What age is he? What does he weigh?

 

[Judith]

Ohh Northern that's and easy one! Which kid so you like better? LOL! Just teasing, have them draw straws or rock paper scissors something like that should work.

 

[Mrs.Greg]

Gregs reading this with me...says stick with the original present idea. :lol:

 

[Northern Rancher]

Well he's pretty fancy for my outfit lol. We really don't have nearly as developed 'show steer' industry as there is in the U.S. My first trip to Denver I couldn't get over how many of those little three way cross bulls there were in the yards.That calf is about 21/2 months old-not sure what he weighs but he's gonna be fun to wrestle lol.

 

[Turkey Track Bar]

Hey NR!!! That's the best Major League calf we've seen. Please use more semen in Canada...he sure works better for you guys than for most of us!

Nice calf, I'd have an auction see who's the highest bidder!

Cheers---

TTB :wink:

 

[Northern Rancher]

Geez the few calves we got off him look pretty good-what was the problem there-lin gering leachmanitus lol.

 

[jigs]

what is your address? I may send a present in the mail to see if I can get in on that action!!

 

[Northern Rancher]

Only if you can get Haymaker to sign the birthday card lol. I'd be honoured to deliver him to Kansas-I used to look forward to my spring delivery trip to the U'S until that little BSE misunderstanding lol. I'm actually thinking of leaving him a bull and using him clean up-he's off a not bad little cow.

 

[Shelly]

That's a very nice calf. Lucky kid who ends up with him. If you're needing a couple of more that look fancy but are also well-built, we have a couple of steers here that would make nice 4H calves.

NR:

Are these your first calves off ML? We have our third calf crop off of him on the ground now, we used the rest of our semen this year, and likely will not buy more. In my opinion, Major League is a damn good heifer bull. His calves generally look good now, but pretty much fall apart as they age. We actually have gotten along decent with him, but for a bull that has probably sired calves out of the best cows down here, you sure don't see anything too spectacular. We had one pretty good bull out of him last year, and I've seen a really good heifer calf raised by Tim Schick, that sold in the Bet on Red Sale last fall in Reno.

After those, most are pretty plain. Have you seen the bull himself??? I have, and I'd say there is a reason Genex is still using his calf picture. Further, his feet are horrid...a general problem the Red Angus breed needs to fix, and Major League sure isn't helping the problem. Actually generally speaking, Cherokee Canyon isn't helping the feet problem.

There are better Cherokee Canyon sons out there...LCC New Chapter being one of them.

I'm glad he's worked out good for you...I hope they stay that way.

Cheers---

He's a pretty good cat. We need to talk FH into a poll of prospective steer photos. It'd be fun to see what's out there. Shelly do you have a camera? I think mine would be too green to get a photo of. I think it'd be an interesting week. We could have prospect heifers as well. IMO it'd beat cats (sorry FH ) I'm not much of a cat fancy.I have to keep some around to catch mice and keep the toes of my boots polished , otherwise I'd have ( 0 ).

Hmmmm thinking I might see what the hills of texas look like :wink:
Daughter needs a calf to show in the county show ...
So we have a deal right northern??????? LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Faster horses]

Fine with me. I'm always open to suggestions for new catagories.
The photo contest is like the saying, "you can please some of the people all the time, or all the people some of the time, but never all the people all the time."

Some folks are coming to our place today to use our barn/chute to trim some 4H steers. I hope to get a photo of them to post here.

When would you like to have the contest for steer calf prospects?
Heifer calf prospects?

 

[Red Robin]

Anytime is ok by me. Whatever the schedule dictates. You might have to put them (steers and heifers) together if there isn't much interest . What ever you like cat lover. :wink:

 

[Northern Rancher]

Well Leachman Heavenly was homozygous for bad feet-I just used a bit of semen to check him out and the calves look pretty good-as far as spectacular I quit worrying about that a long time ago-I'll take a whole bunch of ok every day lol. that calf is from a daughter of our old 12 year old Chiefdom 3080 son so maybe his mamma helping him out. I'm actually breeding most of our angus cows to our new Horned Hereford bull this year-still can't beat a baldie.

I liked Cassie Johnsons march heifer calf at denver. If my memory is correct , she's a Major League. I sure havn't seen many more I liked alot. This is a nice stout calf NR has. What kind of foot trouble does Major League have TTB? Small feet, no heel, etc.

I am not putting the time into sobering him up to get his autograph on the card....... how about I just forge it instead.
