What's your location. Sandhills cattle association has advertising like that.

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...

I agree with structure correctness, bags, etc. Guess I was more of less asking about thickness, muscle, etc. I've usually shopped for numbers. The numbers have been created by hopefully by accurate data being turned in. If your actually increasing your weaning weight, your epd will go up...

Yes, I realize full sibs would have the same mother vs flush having recips. Some recips better than others etc. Im also talking about the same contemporory group. Not different herds. Guess at the end of the day...if I drop 10K on a bull thats a stud, what are the odds that he will transmit his...

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...

LOL.

If you were good at nutrition Im sure you could have a lot of fun with the Rio guys. I just know enough to kinda sound like I know what Im talking about. I was on cattle tour once. Vitaferm rep was on the bus sitting across the aisle. Seen some orange tubs out in the pasture. Got to...

Faster Horses, Im not exactly what a chemical tub is. Guess Ive always known them as either a cooked/molasses or a pressed tub. Im pretty sure a Rio is a cooked/molasses tub. I find it interesting that mineral looses Im presuming avialability from heat. I should get all scientific and figure...

I don't know Lazy Bar B. Its something he posted from the California Farmer. I have no clue as to the political bias of the California Farmer. Sorry to hear of your health issues mrj. I agree with your comments about perception. Thats my entire point. There are a lot of other people that...

Well, Im contemplating various winter supplement options. Ive visited over the phone with the Rio Nutrition folks in the past. Im curious as to anyones use/experiences in using the said product. Ive visited with them in the past. About the only way to shut them up is to hang up! :lol...

I use to respect Mike Callicrate when he sued the packers. Once he joined I think its Colorado's HSUS advisory panel, I lost all respect for him. I scanned your links Big Muddy Rancher. Im not a fan of Farmers Union, which I knew they had formed a lot of alliances with HSUS. I also knew ICON...

So I take it since there's no responce....R-Calf isn't taking funding from HSUS?

MJR, Im not going to look because as I remember it...yes it was check off funding. That is why I brought that up in my post. As to R-Calf crawling in bed with HSUS, Im going to politely ask you for evidence saying so. Don't get me wrong, Im not saying your lying...just asking for fact. I...

Promotion is good. I think we need to promote. I think we need to use funds to educate the consumer/fight groups like HSUS. Yes if you get scientific and read all the fine print, details the beef board & NCBA are seperate. Yes any group can apply for funding from a beef board to do research etc...

Kinda ironic that this came up on Facebook today. I don't exactly agree with it word for word, but its food for thought. Decided Id share it. As far as approvial rates go....I wonder if anyone really looks into what they get or they just assume its a bunch of good folks that will do the right...
