I just recieved a PM from a member in Colo asking this very thing. We are in SW Neb, here I do NOT have an issue with scours as I calve the cows in a different spot every year, and it is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN !! The ONE thing I absolutely insist on is -- ALPHA-7 as soon as they are awake and...

Hey Jason, you had us all thinking that you were just the run of the mill Computer GEEK all this time, little did we know that you were the RAGIN CAGIN, like most of the rest of us!!!!! Congratulations on your new addition, even though things are starting out kind of rocky, these challenged new...

As a rule of thunb, I always tell my people that we need to use thier second natural heat after calving for scheduling a flush. I will take you 23 days from that heat to flush day. In your case, a cow calving on 3-1 would in theory flush no sooner than mid May, about 75 days out if all goes...

I was acrually going to avoid posting to this -- as it will most likely cause some contraversy -- but seeing how you asked -- here goes! Till-Hill, by his description, would make alot of people think this is an OK process for most hfrs -- that is absolutely the WRONG thing to think. Actually...

I have followed this case a little bit, and I will say this --- If she had donbe this to MY horses, they would still be trying to find her and her co-harts. In fact I doubt if they ever would, let's just say I am old school, stealing a horse in the 1800's was a hanging offense, as far as I am...

Thank you Jason for continuing to run a stand-up place for all of us techno challenged hicks who seem to love cows as much as family. (thumbsup) We have somke where around 200 free roaming so-called WILD turkey's here, but so far they have not completed thier degree on crossing the language gap...

We are way too small to need or afford a sale staff, but if we were needing one -- here is what it would take! First off, in order for some one to come in and work with my cow herd -- they would need to be several things. 1) Come with impeccable refferences as far as honesty and ethics - as...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?????????????????? Wow I should have known better, I really should have, this is no surprise. Mr. Tekeda and I were actually friends for the short time I knew him, and he never did ask for me or any one else to be removed. That particular day you are refferencing Mr...

It looks like you have had an enjoyable "" 3 "" days of controlled environmental activity. GREAT -- glad for you. However -- you are going to be leaving that school soon, and then you will be  OUT there. When the real world reality sets in , and you are standing behind a cow that absolutely...

Vert well said DRC, pretty much hit it all in one paragraph! You may even be a little generous on the numbers, it takes a real gift to get it right that quickly. I may have been lucky, but when I started, there was no one at all to talk to -- and if you did find some one, most of the time they...

Folks, I knew this was going to be a really GOOD topic when I first posted, and I now see I was right !! hhehe First off, notice I did not mention the actual name of the individual down there in Miss. school. Trust me, he was no better at bed side manner in 1981 as he is today, in fact, he may...

I have personally butted heads with the owners of that school more than once in the last 30 years -- we were just starting out when he already thought he knew EVERYTHING there was to know. It's a very long story and I won't go into it any further -- but if want my opinion, solely based on many...

I have to add to this one as well - Arron is one very good stand up guy, I have been there to his place as recently as this July, and he has been here as well a couple times. County Agent there in Jacksonvile -- great people for sure. We met them thru another good friend of ours -- he works...

Dori is spot on for the teeth in these horses. We are Quarter Horse people, we love em and USE them all the time. Ours are bot as old as your's are at this point , but will some day be there. A routine Equine Dental checkup annualy is a good way to assure you are doing everything you can to...

I may get yelled at for posting on this one, but you guys have hit the soft spot for me -- This is a cow we call SAM, she is a tick over 1/2 Maine, pictured at 6 this summer -- she is the top cow here for the time being, but her 1/2 sisters are good too. She is special to me -- and a few...

Navel Ill is not always seen by a navel sweeling or other signs of infection. Early on, a calf may get some bacteria in it's navel and not show any signs for weeks or months, other times it is evident almost within  hours. Almost without exception, the first place you will seeit's affect is in...

I will also defend the BULL on this topic, at least as far as his ability to fertilize an egg -- if he were the reason, you would not have any good embryos to transfer -- simple math. On another note, as most of you know I Have been at this ET game for 30 years, so I have seen the good, bad AND...

Guys, I may get alot of eggs here, but I just re-read my earlier post and saw that I had hit the zero button twice -- WOW -- 100 eggs apiece -- I don't think so !!! They did average over 10 though, and did it three times, so it works. Her being bred might make it a little tuffer to get it...

If your donor is THAT fat, a round bale of hay will blow her out of the water -- she will finish like a fat steer ina feed lot! We had some cows come to us many years ago that had not calved in three years -- they were BBQ ready if ya know what I mean! hehehe The guy said he didn't want to...

Brent is right -- do NOT mix these two drugs. Lutelyse brinhs the cow into heat by regressing the CL and forming a follicle containing the egg. Gnrh does the oposite -- it will try and ovulate the follicle present -- this needs done AFTER she is in heat and after breeding, it just HELPS...
