Cattledog -- sorry to say this, but you have it reversed a little. Male sperm swim faster but do not live QUITE as long as the females. Thus, if you can get extremely lucky and guess on the ovulation just right, the swim time and a few hundred other things thrown in as well, the later you breed...

Sorry, yes I was talking about the clover Legumes, not the Yucca product you had mentioned. 50-100 PPM would notmake any significant difference in the overall Nitrate problem, but adding several hundreds surely would. Good topic, REAL problems! Good luck pard -- Terry

Please excuse my normal typos folks, it's a combination of arthritis and excitement!! When ever I get in a hurry, these aging fingers do funny things! The tone of your tract will dictate to you if you are on time or not. It seems to me that most if not all cattle get alot firmer tone when they...

This would be borderline Nitrate Poisoning. This is a very real problem, and if not managed properly it will deffinately cause some abortions, especially early on. Nitrates in moderate to high levels turn to "Nitrites" in the blood stream. Nitrites tie up the hemoglobin in the blood and of high...

Jason can tell you lots more about this than I can, but it will only happen when the server ( The system this site uses to get us all on the internet and have access) is busy, say during a high usage time frame. I get this same page on occasion as well, just hit your back button, and try...

Partner, Jason already moved this same ad of yours to the classified -- Semen Sales - once, so I kind of got the impression that is where it belongs. Nice bull , but put it where it needs to be OK? Thanks -- Terry

Well everyone, here it is almost time for Christmas again, how time has flown by this year. We have been blessed with many new friends this year, and alot of them are here as Steer Planet members. I won't list every one who has honored us with a donor or two -- or more even - this year, but...

As both of the above have touched on, MOST of the time in these cases it is one of two things -- Semen Quality, and more importantly some times is TIMING. For many years now I have only bred these donors one time and one time only. But it is the right time, not when it is close to quitting time...

If I am reading you correctly here -- it sounds as though you used her FIRST natural heat after calving -- ?? is this correct?? If so -- RED FLAG Even though the uterus is almost completely healed by 30 days after calving, the endometium is still enflamed, the falopiamn tubes will be also to...

Folks, I have never been impressed with the sexed semen I have used personally here, but I am extremely fussy any way as most will tell you. I have not done a large number of flushes using sexed semen at this point, but the ones I have done have been far less than stellar. The secret to using...

To help clarify the actions of Prostoglandins on pregnancies, here is what I have found in these situations. A cow does indeed have many different hormones through out the repro process, depending on when in the cycle you are working with. A pregnancy depends on primarily Progesterone to...
