First ones I raised last year I let go back to the breeder of the cows. Bummer -- His 3rd production sale is with Dwyers on 12-4, the lots 33 and 34 hfrs are two of those I let him get back. He called them 1/2 bloods, but are both 3/4. Go look at the videos of his sale -- Welsh Cattle Company is...

Hello EVERYONE. It has been a while, this ole Cowboy just has been off his game a lot since last years accident. It has taken a long time, but am feeling lots better these days. Uno Mas -- well, what can I say here. The last couple of years, I took the plunge and bought about 10 head of hfrs...

Wow, you guys are awesome. I truly did not realize over the years that I had an impact on folks. I just talk cows and love it. They have taught me more than any class room could ever do. Patience, and a lot of time, is worth more than can be estimated. I always have thought possible I came out...

O M G, what have I done!! I certainly hope no one thought I was panning for handouts, I tend to blab a little to much at times. Yup, I have been out of circulation for over a year, ever since last June 19. One of my favorite old cows was due to flush the very next day, I called her Queenie from...

Hey folks, it has been a while, and I am very sorry. Things have been really tuff out here for ole Cowboy since the accient last year. This post reminds me a lot of a time when our dear friend RED had a hfr calf bucking over really bad, and every one said she had to be put down, she was a...

Hello every one, yes it IS me, after 9 months of absence from all getting killed out here doing ranch work, I rolled a 4 wheeler over while spraying thistles. Things have been really hard since, long road to even trying to feel better. Weeks in the hospital, and still never ending pointless...

If I did have a viable CHOICE between the two, I would probably go with the IVF on hfrs instead of conventional collections. It would take a VERY high dollar, and potentially great genetic package, for me to do one of my own hfrs here. Maybe I am just a stubborn old fart, but I have had to try...

Stu -- you know I have been a steadfast supporter of you, your family, and your entire operation for lots of years. I , as well, have not been on here for a spell for this very same reason. I used to look forward to coming on, responding to as many as 50 requests a week for information...

That is my standard procedure. I split every straw in every cow, you just never know where, if any, scar tissue is there -- some times one side or the other may be partially blocked and will divert the semen. Horn breeding makes sure each side has a chance to fertilize if the egg is there. It...

With semen , XXCC is exactly right. I learned from the best old Vet at Midwest Breeders in 1975 no less. When they came out with straws in the late 70's, we were all told to Flick it once away from you before going in the water. This throws any absorbed Ln2 away from the wick of the straw, and...

I haven't had the time for a while to get on here, many of you know me for many years, and this is ALL I do for a living. IFV, as mentioned, is a totally different procedure than conventional collection of viable embryos. In IFV, the "Donor" female gets 4 injections of Fsh, instead of a full 8...

JCE, I can fully understand your desire to get started with this great career choice, as I started 33 years ago in 1981. It was a long road to success back then as we all had to learn it as we went. Today you younger folks have many classes about it while in college. One thing that I want to...

Well I don't know what everyone else thinks, but you certainly have some of the old PROVEN foundation type Clubby bulls listed there. Pistol Pete was Habineros sire Payback is PHA positive but has sired a lot of high dollar producing bulls over the years. Take Charge was Powerplants sire...

I have only fed Vita-Ferm for the last 30 years. Period. I use only the Concept-aid in the donor pen year round on those open cows. I feed/offer block salt with it. Do not mix your mineral with loose salt -- not meant to be that way. In the cow herd, I start offering Concept-Aid about 6 weeks...

The old Rat Tail syndrome all started with the old school YELLOW Simmentals. These were carrying the Diluter Gene. When crossed on Homozygous (Meaning full bloods) you would get a grey colored, almost hairless and curly calf. The tails would have almost no hair at all and would be usually very...

Seeing a pic of him would help us all help you -- but I am leaning toward Spastic Paresis -- this is becoming more and more frequent it seems the harder the industry chases those big boned, hairy and straight cattle to win the shows. Sorry -- but if that is what he is doing, he is toast and will...

To make this very short -- I wish to heaven that not getting 12 oz glass bottles was the ONLY thing wrong with our current state in this country. I see very little RIGHT any more, we flat out have a stupid president, and I could care less what race he is -- he is still stupid -- or worse...

Hey Frosty -- I see this type of thing a lot some times, especially when it's hot like this. She had a heat on Thursday you said, and most likely failed to ovulate (Not necessarily cystic yet, but is carrying a follicle) and the bull surely picked up on that. That cow would probably NOT be a...

Here are two I have used and have had cattle come in here with both. Both do a good job. Don Harsh -- lives locally in SW Neb but travels everywhere. Has a Idaho cell number 208-221-7353 Sam Harroun from Iowa -- been here several times too. Good guys. 319-325-9389 Many others I do not know of...

Hamburgarman -- I think possibly you may have misread the last question. He has been doing it RIGHT for the last what ever years by inserting Cidr, and giving Gnrh. 7-8 days later, when you pull Cidr, the female would then get your choice of Prostoglandin (Lut or Estrumate - I prefer Estrumate)...
