I say ban him for good.  I think the language and bullying are completely uncalled for on this forum.  There are a lot of younger members and I don't care to have my kids exposed to that.    On the other hand, I ignore most of his posts because they are of no interest to me.

aww  The Conspiracy Theory!!!! <beer> (clapping) <party> (lol)  Am I related since Frostback is my friend?    I think we we are down to .. 1 or 2 degrees of separation on here!    (clapping) (clapping)

Looks good!

If anyone has the chance to see Broker, you need to do so.  The bull himself is the real deal.   Not many will be able to get around him.     As far as his calves go,  all I've seen this fall are pretty good.    I think he's been used on a variety of cows and it looks like he will work on most...

When I was taught to AI, the 'in' thing was to thaw it in the cow..    I never noticed any conception rate difference between thermos thawing and cow thawing.  That said, I think that semen collected more recently needs to be thawed in the warm water because I believe there is a difference in...

We've had a few of those cows .. and have to say I'm not sad to see them go... On the other hand..  what about those 12+ year old cows that catch on AI the first time and have a decent to good (never great) calf every year and raise it good.. and then that last calf they loose due to some...

My experience with sexed semen flush is like Doc & others have said.. not good.     That said, I'd be interested in hearing what anyone has to say about doing invitrio using sexed semen.

We do it religiously too.  Every heifer we keep as a replacement is vaccinated.    I would probably err on the side of vaccinating even in a Bruc. Free state because of the  health requirements in different states when we travel from show to show.    Less hassle in the long run when you are...

What about the dates?  Regarding Simmis in Lincoln -  That place is not really set up for cattle.  Where do they put tieouts and is there going to be enough electricity?

I'm curious how it will turn out too!  I know if it were a hot iron brand, it would burn in so it would be a big square with no distinction.  I have no idea if freeze branding will do the same.  I know there is another thread about placement but when we first started branding all of our...

Gargan,  your calf should be registered as a 50%.   

Rename .. if you have a sow with a little frame

IMO.. it does not work

KSU is a great school.  Their Animal Science Department is one of the very best.  The vet school.... I think there are better ones out there and as far as I'm concerned they are still in a downward spiral until something happens in administration. Many/most of the good veterinarians have left. ...

When trying pencil out what it costs to keep the bulls over winter to use again the next year, you have to add all the damages...  they are horrible on bale feeders, feed bunks, gates, fence.  Did you know that two mature bulls fighting can take out a 1/4 mile of barbed wire fence? 

Maybe there needs to two more forums..  "Extremely Jealous of Other People's Cattle Planet"  and " Own's Inferior Cattle AND Sheep but Knows it all about Good Cattle Planet" 

Sounds like HQ hotel is a mess..  vehicles in the parking lot damaged from the debris and inside of hotel is wet

How is everyone dealing with the extreme heat?  Keeping calves eating? Keeping them cool without cooler room?

Get them on some paylean to see ifyou can't get them to put more pounds on.    Normally, if they were closer to the ideal weight, we'd be feeding something like full tank or depth charge to get that depth & ribshape built in.. but if you do that now, you'll sacrifice a lot of pounds..    So...

It might help to put a good protien tub out too..  Vita Ferm is the one I'd recommend.    Also, we always put a block of salt in our mineral tubs with the loose mineral  .. they can't consume those so fast so always have a salt source if they happen to run out of mineral
