Semen tank is filling up with more and more and wondering what to do with some older stuff? Found a few canes of SAV priority (Angus) and MSU Revolution (Hereford). Looks like both are deceased but I don’t really have a use for them. How do I find an outlet or maybe there isn’t one? Thanks in...

SHAWANO, Wis. - Dr. Jon Beever, University of Illinois, has confirmed 1SM00131 W/C WIDE TRACK 694Y is a carrier of Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA), also known as Fawn Calf Syndrome (FCS). Previously, Wide Track, a 15/16 purebred Simmental, was not identified as a population risk because the...

We A.I'd for the first time this year and the first cow is due Friday. Thus far we had 1 set of twins (1 week early) and 1 calf (6 days early). It seems as I walk though the cows I can pick a few that are definately bred (swollen/puffy hind end, bigger/more full udder, etc.) Any experience in...

Wernings 2013 catalog was posted online recently and there is a pretty good sized group sired by him in their upcoming sale. They look impressive....

Interesting post. We just had this conversation with our vet this week as we are weaning our calves. I had always heard that Draxxin was the BEST but our vet said that he preferred to use Draxxin only as a precautionary because it lasts much longer than Micotil and Nuflor, however is slower to...

We bought him from Goeken's, who I believe are co-owners of High Regard. He has grown up alot since the picture, he has added alot of frame...more than we were expecting. I can't say a dang thing for his calves yet, but this bull has the best disposition of any critter I have been around...

Maternal Sire- 3C Macho Maternal Grandsire- New Design 878 Which makes him only a 3/4 blood. Hopefully will put some pounds back on our angus-based commercial cattle

We bought a bull out of High Regard this spring. Calves coming next spring.
