    Hauling Post-Breeding

    We were told the same about moving ASAP after embryo transfer.  Unfortunatley the guys who loaded for us didnt even wait for the lidocaine to wear off.  Long story short a pecker would have turned us away by the time we got home they were so bad. 3 of 11 stuck.

    Somebody please tell me the truth

    Not 100% sure and it's at the ranch but don't buy one of the kiddie ones at Wal-Mart (experience). Like what CAB mentioned, a vet ought to be more than happy to show you what he's looking for some time when you take a bull in to get checked.  The dye isn't that expensive.  If not, you're going...

    Somebody please tell me the truth

    Another option is to look into buying an old microscope on ebay/craigslist.  We got one for $50 and have started checking just about everything we get in.  It's cheap and easy to do.

    animal science universities

    Give serious thought to an undergrad in something else. Look at the backgrounds of the people doing what I assume it is you are trying to do and you will notice a lot of non-animal science undergraduate degrees.  In fact MATH, BICH, etc. undergraduate degrees seem to be more common for that...

    Please tell me what exactly I’ve said that you think is me crying.  I’m very interested in that. You know the Big XII only exists because the Big 8 and the SWC didn’t want to do exactly what you are trying to say everyone should do now right?  They didn’t stop and do what was best for their...

    So, in your opion, should the Big XII even exist? Do you mean like Baylor tried to do to A&M?  Or are you talking about the letter from the Big XII that said they were okay with A&M leaving? BTW, athletes can transfer wherever they wish, it's only a restriction on them receiving a scholarship...

    Football

    How in the world did A&M and Missouri end the rivalries?  Both teams are on record saying they're willing to continue them.  It's UT and KU that refuse to play. Deserters?  Every school in the Big XII short of KSU, KU, ISU, and Baylor has attempted to leave the conference at some point in the...

    On the "Rat tail deal?"

    Xbar, it is certainly strange that the diluter genes seem to impact rat tails the same way. While I know the Simmental and Charolais dilution genes are different, does anybody know if they’re the same in Gelbvieh and Simmental?  They both come from relatively similar backgrounds.

    On the "Rat tail deal?"

    You said "Diluter gene" as in one gene in the three breeds.  It wasn't an attack, just trying to clarify it as people mix that up a lot.

    On the "Rat tail deal?"

    The Simmental and Charolais diluter genes are two different things.

    On the "Rat tail deal?"

    Are you 100% sure those were Angus x Charolais cross calves? That's the time period when it was a REALLY big deal in the Simmental breed.  As the breed adopted the black gene the way it mixed with the diluter (simmental, not charolais) gene, which was at the time common in Simmentals, caused...

    No reason for those rivalries to die other than pettiness on the part of the teams scorned by their rivals leaving the conference.  The Big XII is barely old enough to drive, it wasn't a reason for any of those teams being rivals.

    In that case, on behalf of Texas A&M, you're welcome Big XII.

    Speaking of blissfuly blind, what conference would you guys be in if A&M went along with the original plan for the Big XII south to go to the PAC. If theres no reason for teams to leave the Big XII ther wouldnt be a reason for all of the teams to give their TV rights to the conference.  The SEC...

    Just to be clear, I don’t like that degree ‘smack’. This may or may not apply to you but here’s the thing on what you said about going to College Station...  While I was in school I heard that said about Austin, Waco, Lubbock, both Oklahoma schools, and Manhattan of all places.  I ALSO heard...

    You saw the part where I said four years right?  The Pokes are still a very respectable 2nd in the Big XII over that timespan with 2 national tiles.
