They are not in the dark dark, but they are under a roof with sides going up about 4 feet so it's not too bright in there. I should probably try to block out some more light though. There are 3 heifers but only 2 are getting the complete treatment. One is a Simmental the other is a shorthorn...

We have had this happen twice. Both times on very old, thinner cows. We just kept an eye on them and made sure baby was nursing and mama was fed. One of them had almost no udder at all and we never thought she was coming with a calf and then the next morning, there she was. Only thing I can...

I live in the very southern part of Alabama and we are already in the 90's during the day and when I came in at 9:00 tonight my dad said that it was 85 degrees. Here's what I am doing, does anyone know of anything else that I might do or ad to my schedule. I get up and feed and get them under...

I have a February 2007 black baldy simmental bull. His dam was a past show heifer that did pretty well for us. He's not at purebred status currently, but can be registered up. He's pretty morderate framed, really deep and soggy w/ plenty of muscle. He is more of a maternal type bull. Has been...

Speaking of SOS. Any personal experiences w/ PB simmy cows stout and deep as they come, good structure, but want to clean up front and make a bit smoother? BWs?  

Thanks everyone. It looks like Snappy is the Steerplanet favorite!!!! I'm considering hauling her as a pair(along with Compass Rose and another) to Jr Nationals this summer, but I live in AL, so I'm a bit concerned about hauling a month old calf for 13+ hours. Anybody with any experience?? we...

Thanks Lynsey and Linnette Jane!!! I am very proud of all three. I'm a bit baised to #1(Compass Rose) but #2(Snappy) has done very well for me. She is due May 8, so wish us luck in hopefully getting next year's showheifer. #3(Precious) has been a fun ride in Brangus and AOB and is about to pop...

Whats the heifer you are wanting to breed like and whats her pedigree? There are some other simmy bulls that I personally would go with before Hustler that would also be able to provide calving ease. Trademark,  Mo Town,or Dream On for examples depending on your heifer --Sarah

Hey Guys. We are selling embryos for the first time at the Dixie. Haven't promoted a donor before EVER, so Im kinda lost but think this is a good idea to get her out there. I am going to have this at my stalls, and then am going to post some smaller ones around the facilities. Any opinions or...

I don't personally know Mr. Cowger(have heard positive things though), but I'll vouch for Mr. Dalton being honest and having a great eye for things. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't your daughter have 10th o/a % at the Junior Classic this year with a full sib?

I recieved this email from an adult who I thought was a reputable source. So I passed it on, a few days later I recieved another email telling that it was a hoax chain email that resurfaced every so often. Don't know what to think, but I think I'll do my own research before passing anything else...

Yep, I made the mistake of trying to "explain" everything to the cashier one day after more than a few confused looks.  :D Good news everyone though, shes starting to look better, The scrub really seems to be working. The majority are not raised or as crusty, and those that are still crusty...

Thanks everyone. We are going to keep working on her. Here's another question for you. When she gets to looking better, how long until it is dead and would be safe for her to reenter the group, go back to shows, and not spread it to everyone? Thanks, Sarah

I live in Alabama and do not have much experience with ringworm at all. We just bought a new heifer in the first of December; About a two weeks ago, she came up with some serious ringworm(all over head, behind and on ears, all down neck, and on her tailhead and rear. She even has some on her...

They seen to have quite a few nicer colored ones as well. We bought a steer from them last year earlier than this sale and were very pleased with him.

Bat Update. The rascall had flown into our barbed wire fence and gotten himself caught. Thankfully, we found this out and were able to set him free. I really think he knew we were helping him b/c he didn't try to bite or get away. He flew off, so his wing must not have been torn. It looked like...
