Two weeks ago we had a calf born. If has been inside with the cow since. We noiticed the next day that the calf had a red spot and missing some hair. The vet just thought that the cow had stepped on it or it had rubbed on something. Within the last week we have noticed that the calf has spots...

I would use I80 or I67

What kind of minerals should I be giving them

I was wandering what kind of feed everybody feeds their cows. I dont really have alot of experience feeding cows. I would like to gring up some feed for them and wandering like how much of what I should add? Can I mix in the same protein that I fed to my steers?

I have brought up a similar topic about this a little while ago but I have different questions. First I am wanting to know the in and outs of bull interests. What can you expect to buy them for? What will you make? Whats it cost to collect? I also want to know what people pay for the bulls. When...

Last time we used to generator it didnt work right. We had it out in March at a show and we had two blowers hooked up  to it and it kept tripping the breakers. the generator is 6000 running watts and 7500 surge watts. Now I believe the the blowers are 19 amps and 115 volts. To find watts you...

I have been having a lot of trouble heat detecting with the heat we have been having. Its been upper 90's up to 100 lately with no break. Last night I had one cow that had stopped cycling jump on a heifer. She just jumped once and she jumped on her head. The heifer that got jumped on didnt seem...

IMO he is a very nice guy. I actually had the opportunity to work with him earlier this year. He is very genuine and helpful. WHen I first read this though It looks like someone deleted some of the comments or something though, but id be interested in hearing it. I also agree with TCF.

I have been wandering what do people get charged or what do they charge to AI. Also how much is each female bred. I have heard of guys that straight up sync everything and have the AI'er come back and AI them three different times. I have heard of them just showing up when they are in heat. So...

I had a few questions about AI studs and interests in them. First I was wandering the economics of the situation. What would a decent interest sell for? Whats it cost to keep a bull at a collection center? What can they produce? Basically what is the cost vs. income? I was also wandering if you...

Lately I have been planning on buying embryos and implanting them in one of my cows. The more I think about it, the more questions I get about it. As I am young and am growing I was wandering what everybody thought about the following plan. I mainly want to raise high quality show calves. I have...

Update:  I had the vet out the other day. She is open but i had him do a repro. examine, and everything checked out okay. The only reason she didnt get bred is because i didnt AI her at the right time. This was my first year AI'ing and we do not have a clean up bull. The only way they get bred...

So I have one heifer that i am not sure if she is bred yet. I AI'ed her on August 15, I think.  On day 20 and day 21 i noticed a tiny amount of white clear discharge. Early on day 23 she tried to jump another heifer and late that night she had more discharge with a little blood. I figured that...
