I think there are 2 Step Up bulls one is Purebred bull -WS A Step Up that is a Grandmaster X Macho cow. The other Step Up bull is an Upgrade son that is now a halfblood after orginally being a Purebred by Upgrade X Meyer734 cow. I believe there was an issue dna typing back to his mother.

I was skeptical of early weaning. I was always taught the cows raise the calves, but I have sometimes weaned calves headed for show barn around 5 months. This year the drought has been horrible. I weaned all of my calves 1 month ago and they ranged from 3-7 months old and all had been on creep...

I have had 3 Chopper calves this year. 2 were around 80 lbs but had a 100 lb bull that was 4 days late and super stout. Cow he is out of his an older 7 FS 1700 lb Power Drive cow. He would have killed a heifer. She had him by herself. I have had cow 3 years and her last 2 calves were 75 lb...

yep. same result. calves are behind b/c they haven't had enough feed 7 out of 10 times. Health issues and puds that don't grow are the rest of the reasons calves don't perform.

many suffer from high trough disease.

When I started AIng I bought the electric thaw unit and started breeding cows without much luck. Very low conception rates and thinking back the only ones I ever got bred was when I thawed a straw in the cow. I was about to give up on AIng when I read Hook's post about thaw units shocking the...

BioPRYN blood test at 28 days is my preferred method since ultrasound isn't readily available in my area. Blood test works great in my opinion if you test at 28 days the you know whether they are AI bred or not. If you AI and turn in bull and wait 4 months to test. All you know is bred or not...

Dream On and definitely not Goldmine don't work well on Angus cows. Goldmine throws some fancy calves with absolutley no muscle to them which most Angus don't need cause they already have that covered. Dream On is kind of the same way as Goldmine just not as drastic. Got to be a powerhouse cow...

dang that's high. better just stock up from dealer who knows they are only source around.

Besides Troubador, Johnny Walker Red, and Tiger Woods. You might look into these bulls. Think I like Orange Char cross bulls best for your scenario. Nutter Butter is a Monopoly out of PB char cow. Should add power, moderate, and add body if those SH cows can bring the style. Nutter Butter-...

U better just keep paying $26/bag. Dealer is going to pass the shipping cost on to you plus make a few bucks. My last sure champ cost $28.50/bag.

KLER Make It Rain would be a great choice for this heifer. Think he would fancy her up especially thru her shoulders, neck, and head. Trademark would be my second choice. Most of the bulls that have been mentioned are good commercial bulls that will add what this female already has volume and...

It's funny because I thought she looked like a Ranchhand as soon as I saw her picture.He tends to make them a little shorter necked and wastier up front but makes the broody ones that make productive, efficient cows. I would breed her to Built Right. He is heifer safe and should help the...

silver bullet is a mojo son. according to sek genetics he is also a pha carrier & th carrier. double dirty like his daddy.

Multi Min 90 recommends a shot 4 weeks before calving and 4 weeks before breeding. 1 cc/200 lbs in cattle over 2 years. 1cc/100 lbs in 1-2 yr old cattle, not sure what calves were when I looked at it, but recommended 3 doses per year for bulls and replacement heifers.
