Harry & Lisa,
I just wanted to Thank You for
your professionalism in
everything you do. I also wanted
to let you know that the
PowerDrive Bull that we
purchased from you in 2006 has
produced some outstanding
replacement females. These
heifers were the first round of
half-bloods on our operation for
nearly 20 years and so far they
are far superior to the almost
full-blood Angus Heifers that
are among the 2007 replacement
females. I also have a goal of
trying to make an impact on
other operations in my area and
I think that the two Preferred
Beef Bulls I recently purchased
have done just that. Three more
neighbors have now decided to
purchase Simmental bulls for
there Spring 2008 bull
purchases. We are in the
transition on our operation from
Angus Bulls to Simmental to get
that 50/50 combo in our cows.
Where I will go from that, I'm
not sure, but I do plan to stay
with you for that transition.
Thanks,
Zach Teter |

 Thought
you might find this interesting.
This is the 0078K cow that we
got from you. The bull calf at
her side is a Redcoat son. He
weaned off at an adj 205 day
weight of 792 which is a ratio
of 114 in our bunch. If he'll
keep up this pace until he's a
year old and then put the brakes
on, we'll have what we've been
looking for.
Hope things are well down your
way.

Lisa, Harry,
RE: 6012F Progeny
Good Day,
I feel like a broken record
but it is not often enough
that a producer hears of
"good news" 6012 just flat
continues to get the job
done after 9 years in
production. This year she
has another Powerdrive bull
that has done a remarkable
job. 90 lb birth weight and
a actual weaning weight of
715 at 6 months of age with
no creep and above average
dry conditions. we are only
offering this bull (Final
Drive) in the Ohio Expo due
to the purchase of a Lucky
Dice son we found out of
Walsh's sale in 2005 that
has really proved himself to
us with his first set of
calves.
We sold a full sib to Final
Drive in 2003 that was high
seller in the Ohio expo.
Which reminds me, I really
appreciated your interest in
the Dream On heifer this
last Spring. It means a lot
to have the interest of you
and your program. I am far
from an expert but your
program definably reflects
"rock solid" with the 2 cows
we have bought as well as
their progeny. The Dream on
heifer is about 10 miles
from me and is just a sow
like 6012! she consistently
was 2nd and 3rd in class all
year around here. She just
wasn't the "jackpot steery
kind". Its frustrating
because as you know that
kind doesn't make
honest cows.
I have the confidence that
this Final Drive bull is
lease quality compared to
what I see from a structure
aspect and overall makeup
that is out there as well as
the predictability piece. He
is stout like a Powerdrive
but has that really nice
Zinger shoulder and the rib
of a 600U. I have pondered
on taking him to Denver but
it is hard to justify the
expenses that are involved
but at the same time people
don't know what they don't
know.
Hope all is well with the
fall calving, I am shooting
ad pictures in a couple
weeks of my Ohio cattle
that I will share with you.
Best Regards,
Brian Harris

H&L: New Bull...AKA
Percy...The young fellow has
demonstrated exceptional
manners and disposition, a
diligence for accomplishment
of specified job description
and maintenance of an
outstanding professional
demeanor, however he does
indicate a predisposition
for excessive range cube
consumption if not properly
monitored...(how's that for
a bureaucratic set of
reasons). We couldn't be
more pleased!
Old Bull...AKA...Cookie
Monster...Last fall's preg
check indicated a 100%
conception rate...this
calving season resulted in
100% live deliveries with no
pulls...love those calving
ease bulls...the moral to
this is, to appreciate those
time's when everything comes
together. Have a good
summer!!!

Harry & Lisa:
I just wanted to let you know
that I sold my calves last
Thursday at Marysville and was
very happy with the
way the calves turned out. It's
not as good as in
years past but we all knew it
couldn't last with corn prices
going up like they are.These
calves were the best set I've
sold so far. I'm going to take
most of the credit but I
figured I better throw you guys
a bone or two since your
bulls had a lot to do with
it.Thanks for all of your
hard work and keep the good
bloodlines coming. Below is a
list of how they sold and oh yea
I did make sure everyone at the
sale knew where I buy my bulls.
Weight

Hey Harry,
I just got a call from my vet
on the results of the flush
on Prestine’s Dream. She
made 20 embryos but only 10
were fertilized. The good
thing was that all 10 were
number 1’s and she responded
very well to the shots. We
got her bred a little late
since I didn’t do it myself
and probably would have
gotten a little more if we
bred her Friday night
instead of Saturday
morning. She was Lutalysed
and should be back in heat
in 10 days, so we can start
setting her back up if you
would like. My semen tank
is still in Ohio with Jim
Wymer and I’m planning on
going out to get it next
weekend or the following
weekend after Shesa Daisy is
flushed. I don’t know if
you would be willing or not
but I would like to split a
flush on her with your new
bull, if not I understand.
Another question I had was
about a red heifer I have
out of Jerry Walsh’s G84
cow. She is a Dream On
daughter and I am looking
for ideas on what to breed
her to. Hope all is well in
your part of the world and I
look forward to
working with you.
Thanks again,

Hi,
Thanks for your continued
interest in my program.
Fate was on my side the day
I flipped through the Sim-Talk
magazine at a meeting in
Denver. I noticed ‘Tank’
and then just happened to
have Harry sitting next to
me!! He has given my
program some uniqueness and
put my Red and Black
programs on the map.
You are classy people and I
follow your program through
your mail outs. I am sure
that we will meet again
somewhere down the road.

Hi Moser family,
I just wanted to let you know
how extremely pleased I am with
the two red bred heifers we
purchased from you all at the
spring calving dispersal.
The heifers we bought were 4040P
(2247758) and 4545P (2247799).
Both were bred to Dream
On, and the red calves turned
out great. One heifer and one
bull. The heifers, now cows,
stayed in excellent body
condition all winter on
just hay, and adapted well to
predominantly fescue pasture.
Both have nice udders and
plenty of milk. They had their
second calf this month. I
wanted to let you know
about the Dream On bull calf out
of 4545P. We sent him to one of
our state BCIA bull tests. We
decided to keep him to use
within our herd, so
he didn't sell.
Here is his performance:
Adj. 205 wt.= 720lbs with no
creep, ratio 112
Adj. 365 wt.= 1360 lbs.,ratio
105
Test ADG= 4.47, ratio 112
WDA= 3.48,ratio 100
Frame= 6.3
Scrotal= 42.5cm
Ultrasound IMF= 2.79, ratio 94
Ultrasound backfat= 0.27,
ration 99
Ultrasound REA= 13.7, ratio 93
(he looks heavier muscled than
what he scanned)
Again, we are real pleased with
the Moser cattle and would like
to purchase more females in the
future.

Harry,Lisa,
Good Morning, Just wanted to
share with you that 6012F
continues to do it for us.. I
have attached a flyer for you
that shows some of the progeny
she has had. We are selling an
outstanding Dream On heifer out
of her this Sat at the Ohio Beef
Expo. We have an Intimidator out
of 6012 in production this year
that has a very good P Beef bull
calf on her and doing a great
job. 6012 has another Powerdrive
bull calf this year that looks
as good as the others she has
had. She is 11 years old this
year - time sure flys by… I am
planning on flushing her this
year finally. She has never been
natural serviced, always bred
back AI the first time and has
won an Excellent Cow Award as of
last year.. I wish I had 40
just like her, that is why I
have kept daughters of her -
Consistency and Predictability!
Take Care,

I just wanted to thank you
and the family for the
gracious hospititality you
showed the Ag. Marketing
class during their spring
break tour. They certainly
had a lot of good things to
say about the Moser Ranch
and were most appreciative
of your time and support. It
was an added bonus
to recognized their trip on
your website. Unfortunately
I was not able to travel
with the group this spring
but hope to get to visit
with you some time in the
near future.
If you are traveling in this
area in the future feel free
to contact me if you have
time to visit or need any
assistance!
Sincere Thanks,

Hello Good People. I enjoyed the
sale and I could understand the
auctioneer most of the time. I
liked the big lots so I could
see the bulls move around.
Buying bulls by phone is nice
for one does not have to travel.
Seeing them is a lot better. I
enjoy looking at bulls and I
especially enjoy buying them.
Yes, my daughter was with me.
You all must meet sometime. She
will be running this place
someday. She is a very good
cowboy and does not mind getting
down in the muck or whatever.
I would like to take you to
lunch or supper! When you get
ready to deliver the bulls let
me know and we will arrange to
meet and set something up.
Thanks for the discount and your
effort to produce good bulls.
You are on the mark!

(Sue had purchased all her bulls
since 2000 over the phone and
was able to attend our sale in
person for the first time in
February 2006) |

Yes, we all had a great time! We
can't wait for your sale - Sam's
really anxious to see your
ranch. As always, we were
impressed with the way that you
all promote your cattle.
You have impeccable hospitality
and exceptional marketing
techniques. Thanks for being
ahead of the game with all the
new things that come about, too!
It sure gets people to thinking,
doesn't it!
