Absolutely agree that predictable and proven genetics are the smartest & most cost effective way to go. Like begets like and its a good bet that a bull’s daughters will favor his dam. Even though great A.I. sires are always appreciated we believe the greatest influence and power in our program comes from “Cow Power”. And the results were not only predicted on paper because of concentrated proven genetics but now we see the amazing and consistent results. Genetics is a wonderful thing -both art & science and we are always learning. Thanks for the info Russell.

Anita,
I am glade you visited my website. Thanks for your comments. I would like to know your answers to the She’s A 10 survey. The Lucy Creek program has produce any World Show Champions and I think your answers to the survey could be helpful to our newer breeders. You can email you answers to me and I’ll post them along with a photo of your idea cow. Thanks.

We are new to the Longhorn industry and my family’s excitement and interest grows each time we hear or read Russell’s comments. No matter what position he takes as an editorial comment or as a judge, his love for this industry is apparent to all.

The articles are informative and entertaining. Love Julie’s response…

Russell, thanks for your efforts.
