    can't register calves

    Renting or placing eggs in recips is not cheap. If I were to pay higher price than normal to get "a" calf. It would not go the embryo route. The gentleman I used was 1000 plus a live calf at pick up. To buy three recips would be more plus housing etc. To just get "run of mill" donor who is not...

    washing steers

    If you have access to warm water, hook a hose to the bottom of the hot water tank in the house and attach a blender or a Y. Warm water works quick. Baby oil, maine and tail and pink oil will soft and release. Soaking the animals also helps. Sometimes if you leave it on all winter, the hair may...

    Flushing

    I had a second calver drop 21 eggs and 18 ended up viable. They told me she was in good condition and I had a guy do the rounds of injections that had done it previously so we could maximize the flush. For little guy, its kinda costly. But I was told lot of variables with it- condition of...

    can't register calves

    So they advertised and represented the dam as a half blood and registered. if she isn't half blood or registered then its their job to make this situation RIGHT. i would be terriblely upset if this were me. Its the owner's (donor)job to get the cow tested and register her appropriately so you do...

    Breech calf

    My old vet told me there was not inheritence factor in breech births look at enviromental factors, like overdue, overfed or cold winter. Same with prolapse uterus. some people say they have had prolapses and they never breed again or they prolapse again. I had one cow for 10 years. Prolasped on...

    Our New Herd Bull COmments / Constructive Criticism

    So here's my issue. The top side of those genetics in our experience require supplemental feeding. They were not "easy keepers" and they did not carry flesh unless we supplemented grain. Are there full sib males in the breeding arena for reference? I see his pedigree for purple ribbons, but I...

    can't register calves

    I guess if cow is alive why can't she be DNA'd? Or are you saying she is deceased? That just seem right with the association. If you provide DNA on donor dam? It doesn't say they can't be registered it says you will be charged a penalty. Right from their registration rule book. American...

    can't register calves

    My assumption was you did DNA on the calves? If the sire of the flush is purebred, why can't the calves then be registered as half bloods out of a commercial cow? They should have some record of who the cow could possiblely be out of?

    Johnny Football

    Nice looking bull i thought when he came out. I knew a breeder not far from us that used him. The calves were good to better on good cows. I didn't see any rockstars. I will try to snag some of his photos. I thought he might a clubby answer for some shorthorns. Have you seen your purchase in...

    Heifer breeding issue

    Is possible to detect if she is cystic this way? My AI guy use to say Synch protocols with hormones can help relieve some cystic problems.  ???

    Our New Herd Bull COmments / Constructive Criticism

    Only seeing a photo of the bull without a video or opportunity to see him in person. What do you think he brings to the table for Shorthorn breeders different or better than what is out there? Are you targeting shorthorn folks at all? Are you targeting the club market? I always like get an...

    AI QUESTION!!

    Prior to keeping bull year round we used protocols in the back of the ABS semen catalog. Timed AI with CIDRS. Go two cycles and if they don't stick by second try go to the herd bull. We really like our calves from herd bull. So either way for us is a win.

    Breech calf

    http://beefmagazine.com/mag/beef_em_alive This article says that a bull can heavily influence the presentation of breech births as well as enviroment and cold vs hot temperatures. Interesting read. Palpating calves at 5.5-6 months to see what position they were in and those that flipped later...

    What would you AI her too?

    We recently saw I-67 at Ohio Beef Expo. He look like he did in his promotional picture. He is pretty stout and thick. He has thrown some nice heifer prospects. Monopoly Money, Gold Rush, MAB all three have seen calves with added bone and muscle. We are feeding a Gold Rush that is hairy as an ox...

    Has anyone checked out the Bushy Park heifer sale this saturday

    Seems like more composite heifers in this sale vs higher percentage maine and simmi. Maybe I didn't analize it hard enough. I like their bull stock. Nothing wrong with I-80 some of the others. Nice gals. I would like to see their semen catalog sires in their female sale more over composite club...
