One more thing.  Your a.i. tech needs to know ahead of time that you are using sexed semen as the straws are a different size and requires a special gun.

Here's what I would tell you.  Look at the straw of semen and know where it was collected and frozen.  The reputable bull studs have stringent codes that they have to follow.  They are not about to lie or fudge about what semen goes into a straw. Even the owners of those bulls don't have enough...

Here is what I know...which most days doesn't seem like much!  LOL!  Trans ova freezes sexed semen in 2ml and 5ml units/straws.  They recommend the 2ml for normal AI and the 5 ml for normal flushing.  That is the number of sperm cells in each straw.  They highly recommend using three units of...

In many cases the heifer doesn't want that calf sucking because she is uncomfortable in some way. Either her bag is tender or she is still not feeling good following calving.  That leads to stress and when they are stressed the last thing they want is a little calf irritating them even more.  My...

My current favorite Chuck Lorre quote of the week:  #248 I believe that Newton's first law of motion is the reason we will emerge from our current economic woes. That law states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and...

Mona Lisa in our front yard. Grand dam.

Dam's sire and  Black Stone bull

Going to try this again...don't know what happened to the old post.  Born October 2008 sired by Gigolo Joe and out of a first calf heifer.  The dam is sire by NBJ Big Improvement (Northern Improvement X Phillip BlackStone) and out of our donor, Mona Lisa (BPC Pipe).  This calf has a great set of...

I don't have a picture of his mother but i have one of his grand dam.  We are from western Iowa.  If you are interested please call me at 712-269-6275. Juli

I am a donor as is the rest of my family including my kids.  I guess I take the old saying "you can't take it with you" literally!  LOL.

Hey Gidget!  Nice calf!  I hope she is not as full of juice and vinegar as her name sake!  I love seeing pictures.  I will pass them along to Gigolo Joe! Juli

That is a really nice looking heifer.  What are her bloodlines?  That's a pretty tough show.  Looks like you are going to have a fun show season. Juli

I actaully took this with my cell phone so it is a really bad picture.  Sorry.  It give you an idea.  It is the brand on our Cow Power females.  "Solve the genetic puzzle".  This is a fairly fresh freeze brand.  the hair is just starting to come back in white.

We decided that he is for sale.  We have had some interest in him.  We will have his EPD"s hopefully sometime this week.  If you are truly interested please email or PM me and I will talk to you.  That calf will have a killer set of numbers with the dam side  being NBJ Big Improvement and Mona...

That is just mean and spiteful!  I am NOT 12 or so!!!! I am 11 and I don't look a day over 11 1/2!!!!  So THERE!!

ROPY I will let you know after this weekend.  Trans Ova freezes two types of sexed semen.  Sexed for flushing and sexed for normal AI.  They are priced differently as the sperm count varies.  Juli

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  Zach--- rock on for putting the ages.  LOL  You crack me up!!! 

What I am trying to point out  is that before everyone gets upset they should actually talk to the board members.  I went over the edge on this topic until Phil Core explained the boards reasoning.  You have to allow yourself to step back for a moment and look at the big picture. In the big...

OK, before everyone goes all Postal on this topic again I think it would be in the best interest of anyone concerned to contact your board members and ask THEM what the reasoning was behind this change rather than form opinions that are not based on facts.  Ask them specifically how the vote...

GREAT JOB!!!  Your commitment paid off!  I told you that Cow Power female would pay you back ten fold.  That cow is going to have some serious future...I have faith in that cow family.  So are you going to need a spot on the Club Calf Paradise sale this fall?  Is that a heifer?  I guess you may...
