    End of a Legacy-MSU Hereford Dispersal

    Sorry Woodland - my bad - I am not a board member in fact I have very little to do with MSU any more because I do not like the direction the entire university has taken - the business model started by Peter McPherson vs the education model has done little to foster education, critical thinking...

    End of a Legacy-MSU Hereford Dispersal

    If you are in the know why not sit down with Drs Swanson and Shelle and discuss your concerns instead of flaming on a message board. I am not defending anyone or any thing - I am providing the other side of the story. The fact that you do not understand the comment about the music therapy...

    End of a Legacy-MSU Hereford Dispersal

    I guess that means that they "had it out" for the music therapy program too - what is your evidence that there "certain vendettas" or "had it out" against PBB? Change happens - why don't you contact Dr Swanson and give her your ideas about what can be done to improve the issues/problems you have...

    What's an April 2012 SAV Final Answer angus bull calf worth?

    Couple of things that I think need to be mentioned 1) If you (generic) sell a young bull calf to someone and come spring he doesn't pass his BSE it will be your fault (no matter the cause) and they will likely never buy from you again (unless you make it right, whatever right is) even if you...

    End of a Legacy-MSU Hereford Dispersal

    BTW that is not accurate and your information is incorrect  - MSU kept 10 Hereford females - most if not all are 2012 heifer calves- including an ET calf from the high selling 32N Keepsake cow sired by Bailout 144U, a Bailout daughter out of the Wrangler 48J cow, Dixie 33Z sired by Boyd...

    End of a Legacy-MSU Hereford Dispersal

    I am an MSU alum and I certainly do not agree with everything they do or have done over the past decades in the face of huge across campus budget cuts but I can tell you that there is not one big pot of money that gets divided up - there are many many ear marked little pots that come from all...

    End of a Legacy-MSU Hereford Dispersal

    Here is a letter written by Dr Janice Swanson, the Chair of the Animal Science Department at Michigan State University, to Melissa Hart who writes a column in the Farmers Advance "Truth from the trenchs" , is a diary farmer, and is an MSU alum. The letter was written in response to Melissa's...

    Cattle scared easily

    There are a couple of things you need to understand to put your situation in perspective - cattle are herd animals, (safety in numbers), cattle are prey animals (ie response to "scary things" is trying to escape), and cattle when exposed to a novel situation (without the ability to explore it on...

    Breeding Question

    Just a thought but it may be that she is super quiet because she is uncomfortable or in some discomfort from her structural issues - if you really want to keep her you might consider using a "real world" bull vs a clubby bull- good luck with your decision

    Draxxin, Micotil, Nuflor

    Yeah, I found the study interesting too - and I will admit that based on some previous experiences I view all research done by company that makes and promotes a product or by a university funded by a company that has an interest in a product with a huge grain of salt and a large amount of...

    Draxxin, Micotil, Nuflor

    Not entirely sure that is true - peak plasma concentrations of Draxxin are seen generally 15 minutes after administration and therapeutic levels of Nuflor occur within 30 min - so basically they both start acting quickly - the longer duration of action of Draxxin is related to the large volume...

    Here is the bottom line from the guys in the know - Basically same drug - same spectrum - different label - different carrier ---> different slaughter with hold
