I have been breeding cows for over 40 years and it does get easier with more experience.  Years ago, I used to have a couple of dairymen that bred most of their cows but if they had 2 - 4 cows in heat they would call me.  They were using some expensive semen and wanted to split it.  I think that...

Short names may be easier, but with the internet etc, that should not be an excuse.  It is easy to put a link to a bulls complete pedigree, especially a bull owners website. Doing so would have a definite advantage because this would create increased exposure for the bull which could lead to...

That is just it,  if she is such a good cow ( and this also applies to other bulls and animals in the Club Calf Industry ) why is it that this is all that she is referred to? It says that she was the Grand Champion of the Jr. Show in Denver in 2002 and that she has produced 4 offspring so far...

This may be true in some cases, but, like the bull that I mentioned "CROWD FAVORITE 1" his dam was a Charlolais that has supposed to have produced some other outstanding offspring and is still producing. Could it be that some of these people have bred their cow for a club calf but then are too...

Why is it that with many of the Club Calf cattle their are so many holes in the pedigrees?  It seems mostly that the dams of these cattle are listed only as DONOR DAM and a number, but then it is mentioned about how wonderful this cow is.  It would seem that if information is not kept or...

Tallcool1 With such a Legendary, sly cat like thought, I may have to hire you as a consultant, but that could be a hairy situation!!!

We know that some of you have purchased semen tanks that has some old semen in them.  And we know that there are also people with some embryos that they would like to market. We are considering starting a marketing service where semen and embryos can be listed (both Dairy and Beef).  We will...

The three Gray View bulls you listed were all at Curtis Breeding Service Gray View Skyboots born in 1965 Gray View Skyliner born in 1954 Gray View CrissCross born in 1959 Gray View SkyCross born in 1963 and is a son of the CrossCross bull

I only one I have found so far is the Spring Farms Reflection and he was born in 1953 still checking on the others.

When you get a chance to check the cane code and let us know.  We have the Composite Dairy Cattle Registry and the Composite Beef Cattle Registries.  We have several connections to get the word out if some of the semen would be of any value. We would be glad to help out if we can.

This is very true, and also just as was mentioned, "Lautners,Rodgers,Traush,etc promote bulls,put out catologues,and sell semen".  Yes, they sell semen and if they partner with other distributors, ABS, Bull Barn, Cattle Visions, etc. Then they have an opportunity to sell more semen because of...

could you please also email us the list? [email protected]

I have been following this thread and there are many good comments, ideas and theories. Black color as mentioned is only an excuse.  Most of the other breeds here in the US have lost focus of their breed.  They have allowed the Angus to influence their breed to the point that finding a...

Beef researchers in Texas are just a month away from producing a large number of embryos from recently cloned male and female cattle -- all part of an ongoing, historic project using Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) reproductive technology to create cloned calves. The public-private...

If you are worries about the chemicals there are alternatives.  This is a link that has some slides with some information.  I know it deals with human lice, but the information should still be valid for cattle. These slides talk about using oils to suffocate the lice and then comb them out. ...

It makes responding and trying to get positive and TRUE information when the companies and groups that are spreading the FALSE information because they are so well funded. Chipotle has tried to promote itself as serving food that is way superior to what the other food companies serve.  But it...

Look at the bottom of the first page: "A Chipotle original comedy series that explores the outrageously twisted and utterly unsustainable industrialized world of industrialized agriculture" Then go to the tab http://farmedanddangerous.com/#/behind-the-scenes and go down to the bottom of the...

Chipotle is at it again, they are attacking the American Farmer.  Was watching This Week in Agribusiness http://agbizweek.com and Orion Samuelson in his Samuelson Sez commentary discussed it. Just as he said, "we need to start a campaign to find out who the suppliers are to Chiptle and ask them...

For those of you who have had logo's done for your farm, ranch or business, what was the approximate cost? For those of you who have not had logo's done what would you be willing to pay? What does everyone think would be a fair price?

I think that at present HelenH has the most practical solution.  But in the future some of these things may change with the ADTA (Animal Disease Traceability Act) as animals will have to have an RFID tag and know where they have been.  Minnesota has this enforced now.  Even the Dairy industry is...
