    Dropped Embryo

    The problem you will encounter when this happens is subtle -- and some times deadly for the embryo. Unlike sperm cells to a certain degree -- an embryo is made of multiple cells, and these cells are hydrated with primarily water. During the freezing process, we introduce a cryo-protectant. This...

    Flushing to multiple sires

    I have been asked to breed to 2 bulls for flushes many times, it works if you do things correctly and are ON TIME I only breed the donors ONE time, but I horn breed them fairly deep, at least a long ways past your normal A-I point. I put one comple straw into each uterin horn LATE in the...

    Our Version of an "American" Quarter Horse

    A few of you on here know that Nate does an excellent job of training these good colts. His horse Tucker just turned 4, but has been like a 10 year old since he was 2. I doubt that there is a better young horse within a few hundred miles than he is, he is just waiting for his knees to lock...

    How much FSH is enough?

    Without alot more info on your desired situation, I really can't answer your question. Moderation is ALWAYS best, you can always go up later if not enough the first time, but it is really hard to overcome structural damage if caused by overstimulation. Give us some info on the type of cow...

    cowboy strikes again!

    You are most welcome RW -- these are the days that we all need on occasion, it took a while to get her to come back from the brink. She looks now like a different cow, and whatever made her go off the deep end on her way out here -- seems to be long gone. It was a scary sight to see her with...

    Is it possible to AI and ET the same recip????????

    As far as having an Embryo split into two viable fetuses -- yes this happens quite often. These will result in what they call IDENTICAL twins, always of same sex and are really hard to tell apart -- with VERY small if any differences as they both came from the exact copy of genes. On the other...

    Is it possible to AI and ET the same recip????????

    You "Could" do this, and even increade your chance of the later Embryo living -- """" HOWEVER """" Your ultimate problem will result if you do indeed get both the A-I and ET to stay pregnant. By setting up twins in your cow -- you are asking for a disaster if they are Hfr and Bull -- as the...

    How do i stop a cow from nursing?

    These cows always get started with this as weaned hfrs. Once in a while you will get a couple hfrs that just will not give it up -- never seen a steer keep it up. I have had several nightmares over the years with these, and they are almost always ex-show hfrs most of the time, some times not...

    ET heifers

    BCCC -- I would - after many years of doing this -- NOT use your virgin hfrs as a primary source of recips. Although I have had many hfrs presented over the years for eggs, they are harder to get thru when you actually do the transfer, and therefore seem to have a lower conception rate due to...

    Monkey mouth heifer

    The common denominator to all the above mentied pedigres is non other than -- WMW -- who is sired by Take Charge -- who was the absoute worse structured criter of the early 90's -- ! The bottom line here is one other bull -- in ALL of the pedigrees above at least oce -- and that is Powr PLant...

    Show steers lost in fire

    Lisa -- you tell that girl that ole Cowboy is thinkig of her -- I sure wish I had something here to replace that steer for her to go show. I know the rules won't allw it, but it would be nice if she could take something else in there -- it wouldn't be the same, but it might help her thru it all...

    Just for the record, I personally hd th epleasure towork with this cow for a alost a year last year. We did 4 flushes her, and onewas done elsewhere before she came. She is the ongest bodied cow I can remember coming here, and was only a 3 year old ithcalf at side while here. She did...

    Passed calf?

    First off, as the post above eluded too -- your DUE date for June 23 breeding would be no soner that 4-1 to 4-5 depending on breed used. You mentioned your cows ALL calved to the bull -- but were from 3-9 to 3-19, that would be theoreticaly impossible. I could see some of them going to April 9...

    What spring calving matings are you looking forward to?

    This year I was hopingfor more hfrs, and that's what we did to start off with. Got a really nice bald face hfr from our Lady's Man by Full Moon -- she is just waht I wanted, I will hate to let her go but I think she will be worth quite a bit this fall -- might have to lt some one else own her...
