Nice hfr Mark -- only problem is she is in the wrong dang place -- she needs to live in Nebraska! Good job my friend----- Terry

Here's one for ya -- and I swear it is true as told to me the day I applied for my DOT number to be legal to go into Iowa with a trailer. Asked what I would be hauling on thee very RARE trips out of state with the trailer in tow -- I said Cattle and the occasional horse. Operator went on to...

This should pretty much tell the story here -- all by itself! Good grief, never seen anything like this year out here -- it is B A D Terry

Up here in SW Neb, we usually have "" GREEN "" for at least 6 months even in some what dry years. This year, my few cows had green for 6 weeks, and it is gone. Crunchy as you walk out to check them, even in the yard, the buffalo grass is crumbly. We lost about 1200 acres to fire 2 weeks ago...

There will be as many folks who will say YES as there are who deffinatrly say "" N O "" -- I am with the NO group. I currently have 2 cows ( ??? ) out in the donor pen who have NEVER calved - ever -- one is 4 and one is over 3 -- BOTH were flushed as a yearling hfr, and both BLEW out. Now, I...

Contact Dave Treinen up in Iowa -- he will know all the details -- I trully think he was a Treinen bull. I do know he was a real good female maker for sure! Terry

To go a little further, I personally always take one of those little volt meters with me on road trips to make sure I am geting "GOOD JUICE" ! It is submersable and is designed for testing water systems! Good tool to have Once, I had went to a place and plugged n my thaw unit - set for embryo...

Your donors really need to have thier second natural heat before being superovulated. Some try and go with thier first heat, but thatmeans they have to flush almost before they are 60 days open, that is asking alot. I only use natural heats here if at all possible, it just seems like that the...

Hey Norma -- I may have gotten too windy in my long post above, but I absolutely infuse EVERY donor after the flush before she leaves, I leave no chances of a pregnancy and it cleans up anything that may have been caused by the flush. I don't agree with shooting them, but I absolutely do agree...

I must be getting soft the older I get, but am I one of the very few left who really CARE about your donor cows??? I could very well be TOO conservative, but I rather doubt it. I do not "Shoot em up" on flush day as Frosty said, I infuse them with a uterin friendly, but embryo killing...

As far as genetics go -- absolutely NONE The overall health and well being of the new born calf is of course up to the mother who gestated it -- but as far as any structure or color, no way can she change or affect the chromosomal makeup of the calf already formed at embryo transfer to the...

Even tough she had some disticia issues, I would be more inclined to simply think this is more of a timing issue than anything. I see this happening more and more all the time -- IE -- those of you who may not be able to breed your own cows take them some place to get synced(I still feel that...

I would personaly be more inclined to think it is a Vaginal Wall perforation. The cervix is very small, especially in hfrs, so to have it actually penetrated and torn would be hard to have happen. However, with mutiple bulls repeatedly making connections, the vaginal wall would become very...

Small world indeed it is! Cattle Nut -- your donor cow is a direct Grand-daughter of the mother of 410-H - of course. I know that cow VERY well -- your cow looks just like her grandmother did 8 years ago when I first got to work on her here in Nebraska. She was bred up in the Dakotas, and...

If he was structured that way when he hit the ground, as mentioned here, they will get going to a point most of the time, it takes a while. If he was a couple days old and THEN started to buck over bad, and gets worse, I wouldn't be overlooking the chance that he has navel-ill. This is a very...

At least no one yelled at me, forgive me for having a lass than perfect day -- I just had a recip of mine abort a set of twins -- 7 months along, so I have an excuse if you will. GoWyo -- you "" M A Y "" have to actually use some FSH to get that done on your donor, BUT, you still only need ONE...

Enough already !!! Every year I sit here and see 10's and even hundreds of posts to the same subject. Here is the deal folks OK?? First off -- Cut the BS mentions busting 2 CL's to make twins -- WRONG -- The CL is a Corpus Luteum -- or progesterone producing yellow body on the ovary AFTER...

I may be one of the old renegades based on TODAY'S new standards, but I listen to these cows talk to us. By that I mean, they will tell us by thier actions when they are done, and ready to be bred. It is NEVER early -- and I am a firm believer that you never touch the uterus of a cow in active...

Folks, I don't care if you use a hundred units of semen in your cow or not, there is ONE thing that makes those eggs fertile besides semen quality -- and that is very simple -- TIMING. I breed the donors I am entrusted with ONCE, period -- using two units of semen -- one per side. If you miss...

My Turn is XX-750 -- may also be 29xx750, mine all came thru ABS Terry
