This is the THF MAB Heifer just a couple days old.

I have a heifer out of THF MAB and a Blindside x Witch Doctor cow that is really impressive. 78# actual birth weight. Stout hipped and cool fronted. Cow will get bred back the same.

If you decide to induce. You give 20cc Dex. You can also give 5cc Lutelyse. The Lute can help with retained placenta. The Dex alone will induce her. 32 hours after shot should be when she calves.

I think those are the same as the Home Depot ones. They have a square lug for mounting, and I mount those lugs pointing towards me and the light pointing away. This keeps the light out of my eyes as I am clipping. I bought a couple of the light weight 15' extension cords and a 6 plug power...

You can buy a 6 pack of 4' LED shop lights from Home Depot for about 130. I zip tie them on, and they work great.

The Monopoly money is due in two weeks with a No worries. It will be her second calf but seeking the second calf option for lower birth weights. She lost a Slider heifer last year. 92# and a hard pull. I am afraid the sun seeker is keeping her birthweights up. The Jawbreaker is a big topped...

Monopoly money heifer

I am looking for ideas to breed our former show heifers to for a second calf. the breeding on the cows are: 1: Jawbreaker X Lifeline (THF,PHAF) 2: Direct Whiskey X Blindside (THC, PHAF) 3: Monopoly Money X SunSeeker (THC,PHAF)

Optaflex wont effect meat quality. That's the difference between Optaflex and Zilmax. They will finish nearly the same as they would have normally on Optaflex. Zilmax is not accepted by packers and isn't available on the market. Don't feed Zilmax.

I would be starting him on a product with Optiflex in it. 28-35 days on the product with no slaughter withdrawl.

I was less concerned with the protein content because of the 48% SBM, but usually with distillers, you need a balancer. All of this is simply shooting from the hip and looking at it on paper. It needs to be run thru a ration building program and balanced accordingly.

At their current weights, you have 2120# total and should be eating 64#total per day or 32# per head. Thats 3% of their body weight, and could be eating more. If your gluten is wet more if its dry DDGs, maybe a little less. I read your last post as they are getting 32# total combined or 16 per...

I agree with this as well. Looks like your corn and gluten are 57% of ration. To help them get the finish they need and be finished for the locker, you need to get the energy up. Energy is corn, barley, oil, fat.

Straight mouth wash can burn the hide. Mix 50/50 Listerine and glycerine.

Control Freak's dam is a Crimson Tide/ Hired Man cow that hasn't missed either. Google "Control Freak Dam" and you will see an black and white cow with manure on her hip in a green pasture. Thats her. Her first calf (Final Product heifer), Dave Guyer bought off of the Pudenz Family Show Cattle...

She doesnt look too big framed, so I would look to stay away from the extremely small scaled ones. I know... They are all dinks. Fu Man Chu should keep her scale and has been popular of late, Control Freak has the power, hair and muscle you are looking for and frame should be good there as well.

I think they meant "what is her pedigree?", not how do you breed her.

You aren't going to be able to get any R value from the tarps. Therefore an AC unit that is really pushing hard to get the room cold is going to likely freeze up trying to do so. Fans, Misters, and Showcoat are probably your best option. you could run a Hurricane Fogger with ice water, but that...

Right now I am in about the same boat. They are all getting 10# grain mix and 2# PreCon  per head daily plus free choice grass hay. I plan to shrink 24 hours before weighin (no feed, no water). After weigh in, They will get hay in small quantities and I will manage the water intake for the next...

This is a Comfort Zone X Blindside home raised steer we plan to feed this year.
