Have you thought about Bailout at all? Also to chime in on the Air Force One cattle; someone gave us a couple straws so we tried him out. We got two calves that were both horrible. Tall, harsh, and straight.
We have always used Joy as well. After washing we would mix conditioner from the dollar store with water in a bucket, then poor it over the calf, comb it in and let it set. Rinse out, then blow em out. The conditioner keeps the joy from giving them dry skin. Hope this helps!
This is a fall born chopper heifer we have on the ground right now. They haven't been on creep yet. I know the picture is not the best, but any thoughts or comments?
I made a blog/website for our farm this week, and would love for all of you to check it out! Take a look and let me know what you think. It is pretty sparse so far, but when calves start being born, it should beef up.

Thanks Guys!
Thank you for the comments. We have a limited supply of About Time left, and since he is deceased i think we are planning on saving it to flush with. We have a daughter of this cow currently bred to Bright future to be calved this fall. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of this calf. If it...
Thanks TCF. She is a purebred cow she is a victor line female. I do agree that she could have a better udder, but she has done a great job for us. And with her seventh calf on the way, she has had nothing but heifers.
This is one of our cows that has never missed. She had a really nice about time heifer last fall that is being shown successfully in the southeast currently. She is bred back the same way and we are pretty pumped about it. Any comments or breeding suggestions for this fall are welcome! Thanks!
This is a picture i just took of our September bull calf. We plan on keeping him, and most likely showing him as well. He is sired by CRR About Time. Any comments or questions are welcome! Thanks
Thanks for all of the comments. The cows we bred him to were all older larger cows, so they should be fine passing a bigger calf. Any pictures of the calves would be GREAT!
