Can't see her legs and feet very well, but the Benz heifer looks like she is put together pretty well. 

My daughter is beginning her junior year at Liberty U. as a studio and graphic arts major.  She is quite talented I must say! P.M. me your idea and I'll run it by her.  She loves doing this stuff.

Have her examined, then you will have a direction to go in.  If it's a treatable diagnosis then do it.  If the vet shakes his head too, then ship her.  Been there done that - throwing a lot of good money after bad.  It's hard, but I've had to ship some that I've been awfully hopeful for.

I look at it this way.  Breeding for show cattle and breeding commercial are two very different industries.  I don't think that either really intends to fit the needs of the other, and that's OK.  Judges are not evaluating for commercial cattle, they are judging based on show cattle factors. An...

Happens every year at our county fair.  Families will come up to the grooming chute when the calf is all blown dry and just beg to pet them.  People are mesmerized by a cool looking and fitted calf.  (If they only knew what it took to accomplish.....)

Ah the idiocy of youth.  My friend and I spent many a weekend riding sport bikes in southern Ohio. We too took pictures and videos of each other.  Makes me a little queasy now to watch it now.  Thank the Good Lord I'm still here.  :) Now If I can figure out how to never have calving issues...

Highland County Circle Sale - August.  Quality and a good number to view and buy via on-line auction.

Clostridium disease is very likely.  Every year I hear of  four to eight week old calves seeming perfectly healthy one day and drop over dead the next.  The common factor is failure to vaccinate. A single dose of Alpha 7 is just way to economical, and cattle values way too high to roll the...

From your tank contents, Benz hands down.  Stylish, good hair, easy calving, and I'll bet if you get a heifer it will be an above average one. The A.I. conception will need to be there of course.  The basic things to ensure are a good health/vaccination/mineral program,  closely managed...

Really like Unstoppable / Irish Whiskey.  Will show, but what a momma she should make!

This has morphed to include original Monopoly, so here is my first one.  A heifer born yesterday. 

Yardley High Regard - awful attractive out-cross to Dream On genetics.

I generally give on day three. Great product.

Heck I'll post a couple of "before / after" pics.  These are two of my calves from last year that turned out pretty good.  Two different types too - the red steer (Monopoly Money) won our open feeder show, and the heifer (Mercedes Benz) is a really nice P.B. Maine breeding heifer.  Both have...

Hey Chris I'll give you some advise as I know the dams of these cattle pretty well having raised them both!  First the Capiche has plenty of the Limi traits in terms of bone and frame.  I'm also guessing she is pretty sound.  If I had her I would breed her to a bull like Troubadour.  If you...

That is a fine start.  Congrats to your son.

Clones?  Maybe.    Original?  I just can't justify the price and chances of wasting a straw on a missed A.I.  I guess I'd save that stuff for a flush effort, when the upside is the potential for multiple eggs. Maybe I'm just cheap and cowardly  ;D

Anybody using this stuff?          Vetericyn Umbilical, Navel & Udder Gel

Mercedes Benz is worth a strong look, great females and low birth weights consistently.    The calf in my avatar is a Benz from a first calf heifer.

I have a simmy cow that is very similar in traits (at least phenotypically) to her and got an awesome steer out of Monopoly Money.  He sure did pack on the pounds quick, but was moderate, big middled, bone galore, and awesome hair.  One thing to note is like yours my cow has some front to her...
