I would hope that you have a good large animal vet -- instead of a primay small animal vet who only occasionaly does large animal work. His/Her comment is disturbing to me in the sense that your hfr -- unless she was bred while still standing and riding hard -- has no ability to "Flush"  semen...

Badgerfan -- thisis not rocket science, but it takes a tad more management than - say -- a turn out herd in the mountains! I always ask that the donors being delivered here are recently vaccinated, well in advance of delivery -- for all the normal things. Plus, I Ivomec them twice a year along...

2 natural heats post flush will yield a 60 day interval. An induced heat with one single natural heat after will yield a 45 day flush -- you may do this on occasion, but be carefull A single induced heat and restarted immediately will give you a 30 day flush -- but your cow will be done for...

I have a few thoughts for everyone to consider -- I will try to be brief. First off, the old standard of breeding 12 hours after you first see a cow standing is a Good and Bad deal. Case in point, every cow is different I agree, however, if you follow the time line of heat versus ovualtion, and...

My rule has always been this -- Cow calves with no problems and starts to cycle as she sees fit. Her second natural heat would be Day -0-if all is well with her tract. Work her up, and most of them will be flushed around the 75th day or so give or take, all natural with no inducing them to...

Typically, if you have Lepto going thru your herd, and especially Hardjo Bovis, your conceptions rates will be extrememly lowered, and often times you'll see a few odd returns as well -- abortions will occur early on as a rule with Lepto. Vibrio on the other hand, will either lower your...

Welcome Tony, glad to see you made the trip over to Steer PLanet -- you are now part of a very large and growing FAMILY!! We had a bull/steer this spring that would have been just what you needed, but he is already living in Illinois, or at least that is where he went! He may have grown wings...

85.00 a ton for what I call lower end grinder hay, FOB The good stuff, just a tick uner dairy -- is still 110.00 FOB, putting it at least 120 a ton delivered. And alot of folks woner why I have to charge 4.00 a day for the donors -- this is a perfet way to lose money -- but the cows are happy...

Tell your son WELCOME  HOME partner, from an OLD Viet Nam Vet!!! Terry

God Speed young man,  God Speed. You will be missed. I didn't know you - but I do know your family should be proud to have raised such a fine young man. Terry and family

I'd get home first, eat supper, take a 3 hour nap, and then head out there around midnight or even later!!! Too early and you are waisting your time! Cooler then too! Terry

Bingo -- now I know why most or at least a lot of those big city folks have thier nose stuck in the air all the time -- they have a permanent ""  FLEMEN "" reaction to every one they meet! Makes sense now -- hehehehe!!!! (clapping) JIT -- you just keep your nose in the air -- we all know you...

DITO on the Corid. Get some ASAP and mix in the water supply for him -- if not the whole pen worth. It is imperative you get after this right away, or you may have a very large surprise some morning -- and not a good one! Good luck -- but don't wait any longer! Terry

As long as you got your cows thier Gnrh injection, and waited at least 7 full days to pull them, you will not have a problem. It take about 5 full days to form a funtion CL after ovulation, so that when you pull the Cidr's and give prostoglandin, they will then re-cycle for you. If there is no...

As evidenced, he will have a farely rapid Ln2 use compared to normal, but as long as there was liquid in the tank, and was not extremely low, he will be just fine. Keep in mind however, from the top to the bottom with a very low liquid level, there would be as much as a 100 degree increase in...

Got your PM and I wrote you back, it sounds like you have a very good young cow that just needs a little TLC. I tried to explain a few things to you in the PM - just call me of you'd like, I have been accused of being WINDY though, can't figure out why! hehehe Terry

Hey RW -- if I were to store that cane of Walkerton long enough, does it revert to the HOLDER??????????????? hehehe He'd be the bull I'd use if I wanted to get some red calves, even looking at him in the trailer that day all wrung out he was impresive! We'll be testing him for you in a few...

WAY to go Ron -- now that is ah - well -- CALVING EASE DELUXE !!!!! ( sorry for the pun) Here is something you may find interesting -- for at least 9 years of my first 18 on this planet -- I personally showed my very own projects in that EXACT SAME fair grounds as you just did ! See , I was...

Ah heck -- and here I was thinking " I " was the last one!!!!  (clapping) (clapping) Actually, I have it set to tape on the dish every week that's new. Last week got a little WESTERN -- hehehe Neat show, something real for a change! Terry

To add to this post, today, for only the 3rd time in 29 years, we were unable to get to a facility to transfer embryos. We had several days of rain here, and the ground is full. Last night we got something on the order of from 3 to 5 inches of rain in just a few hours. The road leading out of...
