    New Heifer!

    That's a nice heifer and it's great that you are excited about her.  I'd make sure and feed her for continued belly and depth with a product like Depth Charge or Rumifill and you will do just fine!

    How do you decide to make him a steer or leave him a bull?

    If you have a promotion quality bull calf (potentially) it will be rather evident, especially in the cross bred clubby arena. I was lucky enough to have this calf this spring.  Pictured at five weeks and at three months.  He stayed a bull :)

    Fly air gun

    The fly control was pretty good, but I do think larger cows will require two doses.  My cows did not run or panic at all, and the same ones that don't like to be sprayed are the same that were the most sensitive to the air gun as well.    A fly control product I recently tried that I really...

    Fly air gun

    I have one and have used it once to date.  It worked as described in terms of delivery, but i can tell you that a couple of my cows were wary / suspicious of me drawing up beside them in the Gator for quite some time afterwards.    It must sting like a paint ball I suppose.  I missed a couple...

    Swelling question

    Might be a hematoma - it's not unusual for lambs to cause them by pushing or bumping it on something.  Check to see that he is not doing this somehow. I would not hesitate to have your vet take a look.

    Bulls that went to Denver-2014

    Only new bull I used was Banshee (Pinnacle Sires).  He is 50% Simmy and quarter Maine so a little different deal than those new clubbies.

    Breeding Dilemma - In About 12 Hours

    I have a situation I've not had before and need advise and/or to know if anyone else has had this happen. I had a cow in standing heat early morning on May 16 and bred her late that evening.  I usually stick on a second Estrotect patch at about 17 or 18 days after A.I. to help me check heats...
