We use it. It won't make anything come into heat. It's just really high quality mineral. Which helps with conception rates.

I do not know a whole lot about Trich. Would it be present in heifers? He bought 7 open heifers this year and will try to AI everything 2 and wants my bull to kick out with them to ensure everything is bred. I don't mind testing him to insure that he is clean when he comes back. There are a few...

What's the going rate to lease a bull for 60 days? I had someone contact me about leasing a yearling bull from us.

We have always flushed one natural cycle after calving which is usually 60 days or so. We let them cycle then set up for the next one. You can leave open to flush again or breed after. We have done both. After flushing tho they need to have a cycle before breeding to clean out their system. We...

I just saw the reserve was a Choppin Wood.

Yes it is! We used it last year during breeding and had all 4 embryos we put in stick and 3 or the 4 other cows AI first time. Could have been luck to lol but I really believe in all the Gita term products.

I think it's somewhere between 850-1000 lbs.

I'm all for the useful stuff. Monogrammed hanging clothes bags, duffle bags, towel set, and chairs are a few of the things our family has gotten in the last 10 years. I know that for the champion steer and heifer they get a metal plaque with a steer or heifer cut into it. They aren't that...

I would push now when it is cooler and coast when it's hot. When the heat of summer hits many steers won't want to eat. Plus if you start going to jackpots everytime you leave home he could lose weight. High fat will make them fat without adding frame. You can hold one 30-60 days usually pretty...

These are all trucks on there lot! At the time they had 80 acres of trucks since then they have gotten even bigger I know. To look at vehicles you have to have an idea what you want going to just look isn't something you do there.

Woodhouse when I bought mine was the scone largest dealership in he US. When I bought my trk in just used F250 at the time with a diesel and under 50,000 miles with an extended cab there was 250 trucks. So you could basically pick your color. Now when I said I wanted a 6 speed there was 6 trucks...

My brother bought a brand new dodge from woodhouse in December and the couple of things that have needed worked on he has gotten done without an issue. Bought my first truck from there and like the dealings I have had. Our local dealerships will shove it up your a** on price. As for myself we...

Very good point! I actually had a breed rep stress this to me this past fall. Look at proven bulls with several calf crops.

I always look at bw especially for heifers but even on cows I don't want 100lbs calves even if the cow can handle it. Those big calves tend to be a pain more than they are worth. I always look at it as you can't make money if you can't get them here. I like looking at bulls that are complete...

If she doesn't have parasites she could be shedding for the spring. Most calves will start losing their hair about now and get new hair. Is her skin dry?

I have let a family show a couple of heifers for us we never used a contract but they were responsible for the feed and up keep. They also helped with getting the AI work done. They also paid for the show fees except for state fair. We got the heifers back at the end of the season.

Quite a few of the counties in northern Illinois have open junior shows and regular open shows during county fair time.

Angus. With a Simmi a dilutor gene could appear and give you some off color calves possibly. 

I would love to get into farming but no banker in their right mind will ever give me all the money to get equipment and land especially to start from scratch. So I will have a few cows and slowly try to get bigger while working in town.

It sounds like they are a frame score or 2 smaller which is genetic for the most part. After seeing some bred heifers of a friends a few weeks ago out of clubby bulls I know why the guys on here are always stressing using maternal bred bulls to make mamas not clubby bulls. The group of clubby...
