    When is it considered overkill?

    It's their money, they can spend it how they choose.  It makes it more fun to beat them later down the road.  Did back in the '80's more than once. Can't buy a winner.  It could be dead tomorrow.

    Older Clubby Bull- JFK

    DJ Bomber ans DJ Databank were Maine or percentage Maine from DeJong in South Dakota. I believe Paul Kuck in western Ohio bought both of them a year or two apart. I'm going from memory here. Don't remember pedigrees at all. Databank was red. Can't remember much else right now.

    Opinions on the 5-day CO-Synch + CIDR program

    Dr. Mike Day, reproductive physiologist at Ohio State has done lots of research with this method. He was the one who told me about it. He said that giving the 10 ml dose of prostaglandin was not statistically different than the two separate injections. Now back to your question. I posed the same...

    What's the deal with clones?

    Well it's the clone of a crossbred animal, usually bred to a crossbred animal. Can't get a whole lot of consistency there. So I'd say yes, clones breed very similar to the original.

    Opinions on the 5-day CO-Synch + CIDR program

    This will be my fourth year doing the 5 day protocol. I give 10 ml of prostaglandin (Lutalyse) at time of pulling CIDR. It works awesome. I breed off heats, any not bred by 72hours, gets bred with an injection of GnRH. Averaging about 75% bred to AI. I can set up the cows for one weekend. Don't...

    County Fair Judges

    Suck it up.  Life isn't always fair.  He was asked to judge and that's what he'll do.  If he doesn't like your type of cattle, so be it. Doesn't make him wrong.
