The Red Angus History

" "Seven innovative families chose to use Red Angus in 1954 to establish the industry’s first performance registry. Throughout its history, the Red Angus Association of America has maintained this objective focus and has earned a well deserved reputation for leadership and innovation. By making the right choices over time, and ignoring the short term pressures of industry fads, demand for Red Angus genetics by the beef industry is at an all time high."

RED HIDE COLOR HAS THREE DISTINCT ADVANTAGES:

RED HIDE COLOR HAS THREE DISTINCT ADVANTAGES:
"1)Red is the most populous color of cattle breeds world wide. Red Angus provides a continuity and uniformity of color to any crossbreeding system. 2) Red is more heat tolerant than black and the bronze pigmentation gives great resistance to cancer eye and sun burned udders. The majority of the world’s cattle are in areas that need heat tolerance, so the red color is a definite advantage. 3) Being crossed red always breeds true. Red Angus carry no diluter genes and thus avoid the grays that result when crossbreeding with blacks." Follow this link and click History Brochure to read complete history.

JR. is Growing Like a Weed

 (CCI JR Cherokee Classic Reg# 1524773). JR. is now 9 months old  and growing like a weed.
 We still have snow on the ground here; but the weather was in the 20's so I thought I would take a few pictures.

 here is some rear views.
 













JR is the prodigy of BJR JR 107 he is cool, calm and structurally  sound.

What else could I have ask for in my first calf!!












I hope to take him to a couple of shows this year.

I can not wait for spring and for my next set of calves to hit the ground; I love calving season!!











I will post new pictures of JR. when he is a year old.

My First Educational Power Point

Today I finished my first educational power point for a 4-H work-shop that I organized on Beef Breeding.
The Work-shop includes my power point, and guest speakers. The guest speaker will give talks on, reading EPD & genetics, heifer and cow/calf nutritional needs, shots & vaccinations, and on setting a budget.

The fliers were sent out on January 1, 2013.

 The work-shop is free here is hoping that there is an interest in beef breeding.

This year one of my goals is to pass on as much information as possible to those interested in becoming a future cow/calf producer.
