ABS Traveling Road Show

I wish Lorna Marshall would put an ABS meeting on in my vicinity. I haven't been invited since I told Keith Vander Schloot that I was going to breed all my cows to Shoshone Viking because I was pretty sure most of their bulls weren't Angus (Hoff era). I missed a good one in Kansas from what my freinds tell me. It seems there is some reason to "PROTECT" pretty much every bull in the line up. I am working on my conceptualizing as DV recomended and well, the concept of having bull that are so extreme or deficient in something that protection must be addressed in that manner speaks volumes. It sounds like commercial cattlemen and the seedstock producers who deserve their business should surely "Protect" themselves from those kinds of bulls and that kind of a company. I opened up the ABS sire directory and there was Myghty out of Focus front and center. I have never seen poorer Angus cattle in my life that those sired by that bull.

check out the bull in the below links. He has the numbers

Interesting bull. Double bred new design, plus twin valley precision. What could've gone wrong.

I think it's very refreshing that they actually put POS in his name. I admire the boldness and the honesty.

Poss Total Impact sired the second high selling bull @$5200 in the St. Croix Valley bull test sale this past weekend. A link to the catalog follows. The bull is lot 3-1 on page 20, and his scan information is on another page near the front of the catalog. The calf was an average performer in the test with excellent scan information, came from Green Meadows Farm, a long-time leading performance herd in NW Wisconsin.

I did not get a good look at the bull from my seat, but he obviously passed muster with the bidders.

ALERT!!! New bull ABS named after Jim L? 16864258

This is my first post here, kinda like a virgin again almost. So go ez on me. First off my speling sucks os count on missed spelled worbs. The only thing worser than my spelln is my typen. Hay now I thinks ABS is a good compony as they helped me get into angus. They tried learnin me AI & told me to put my hand up the cows a$$ & I says the wife told me thans not wright all the action is in the bottom hole. Then I asked them what I need to be the besttis angus breeder. They said a big CalQlater, and I says I gotts one. They said Now your a angus breeder. I spent a lots of money on semen now don't have any left for gloves, so I had to quit chewing my finger nails now i'm getting corn stuck under them. ANyway Is wondering what the $B is it missed spelled. Does it stand for BS. O Dennis I to have longhorns but there on my huff cows.

Newer Olden Blood, Welcome to the goofy land, all make believe coffee hour geezers whaling on some one or thing as mother nature chews away on us with weather bugs, virus bugs, bacteria bugs, cancer bugs, just bugs, mispelling bugs, genetic BS bugs, ABS bugs, Shoshone bugs. Your new friend- Bloody Headed Bully Dennis Voss-- In the vicinity of Bugs Galore chewing the life right out of me.

Gee Double d, take a pill. Sometime you gotta let your hair & relaxe. Live, Laugh & Love. I now you live, now if you can laugh then maybe the misses will let you love. Then if get love maybe you won't be so dam crabbie. By the way your handle doudle d is that your brand or does that

It's our brand. Double D's are a bit large for my likeing. Just seams like alot of chaff on here for a few kernels of wheat.

oldblood, I rarely speak up on here. I have nothing to teach these fellas. Well maybe golf. Shot 74 the other day after going 4 over on the first two holes in a driving wind. I got to say oldfart, you are annoying. You gotta work hard at spelling that bad. My daddy told me to never have a battle of wits with a unarmed man. Sir, you got no ammo. Did the short bus pick you up back in the day in SD? go over and argue with ol Jim L on the 4.9-42069xyz. He is the biggest rooster in the henhouse. Just ask him.

Double D, did it rain finally? I wish I could send some of this slop from Ohio to you. Only four inches forcast next 36 hours. its already waterlogged here.

We got some rain today not that we needed it I've been hauling bales thru the mud with my 1805 Massey.It's been a cold spring here no grass yet.

A friend of mine is working on a wind farm project in Southern Illinois he called a couple days ago and said they got rained out sounds like a muddy mess.

Double D, my bad I thought I was talking to double b. I need glasses.

Great Avatar!

The risk of genetic collateral damage is now so high that the purveyors themselves feel obliged to notify.

So the mainstream corporate genetic pushers are now in the dubious position of acknowledging by default that the major "service" is morphing into risk management and damage control that they themselves created.

No doubt they have all the genetic remedies to protect their valued customers.



Do I sound disillusioned?

I was told by one of the reps that I simply needed to do a better job of selecting sires that were more suited to my management and environment.

Which ones would those be?

This bull on page......will help fix the mess our other bulls created.

yeah Okay sounds like a heck of a plan

There are 45 pages of material and quite thoughtful, even educational comments on the Reflections from Larry Leonhardt thread...I`m pretty sure it has more kernels than you`ve ever been exposed to; and I don`t believe I`ve read anything from you there I would deem a kernel of anything of value, or anywhere else for that matter other than a bit of self-promotion and a toad testimonial...5barx.com is the marketing site, and it would appear you would fit in well there...so either get smarter and add comments of value here, or be gone....
