Good morning to all, I would like to say thanks before I get started asking a question.  I appreciate everyones feed back. I was wondering everyone's take on these 2 bulls as far as using them on heifers.  What are the pro's and con's about Data bank and High Style?  Would you be worried about...

Thank all of you guys for responding.  I am going to reach out to him and see what I can find out if anything.  Hopefully something but again just wanted to say thank you

Good afternoon to everyone, I have an older cow at my my that was out of a bull called FULL PARDON and a maine cow.  I Have been trying to find information on this bull and have no luck.

Good evening to everyone.  I was wondering if these two bulls will either add some frame or downsize the frame or will it stay about the same as the cow?  Thanks for any information anyone can add. 

I bought a double blower cart a couple weeks ago and was getting ready to hook things up. My question is can I use two different blowers or do they have to be the same kind.  I have a Sullivan and also a Circuiteer. If I put both on the cart it should be ok or no? I had someone say that should...

good morning. I haven't used cidrs before and I am planning on putting a couple in soon.  My question is does it matter at what stage a cow is in on a heat cycle or will the cidr restart it at any time. I think i missed a heat on a cow a couple days ago because I was not around but not sure. So...

Good morning to everyone. I was wondering if anyone is feeding the primer plus? If so are you feeding it to calves?I was thinking about using it as a creep feed. Give me the pro's and con's of it. Thanks ahead of time

I was wondering if the Dakota Gold calves come early or for the most part stay at the gestation day.  Are they big or average size? Any info would be great. Thanks

I was wondering how long after you think a cow or heifer might have had a heat could you give lut to bring back into heat? I am not sure if she was in heat for sure but acted like it but am not quite sure how low to wait before I should hit her with lut. Is there a certain number of days to wait...

Good afternoon to everyone, I was wondering what everyones thought on this question would be? What or how much does a newborn calf usually gain as far as weight wise in the first 24 hours? If a cow milks heavy and just a moderate milker? Thanks! I am just curious what they may gain in the first...

Good morning to everyone. I was wondering if people that have had Fu calves could give a little insight on his calves. Gestation period: calves come early, on time or late? Are they on the smaller side or big or a normal size calf. (I know this has a lot of variables but on average). Thanks for...

I am sure that everyone is different but I was wondering on average at what age can a young bull breed? I had one that was missed running with a couple heifers he is 6 months.  Heifers are a month or 2 older than him.  Thanks

Good evening to everyone, I have a question about hoof trimming a cow that is bred.  When would it be safe to hoof trim a bred cow, how far along should she be?  I would like to get her done but don't want to take chance with her losing her calf.  I have never had to trim cows hooves so any info...

I synced a few cows about 2 weeks ago and when I pulled the cidrs I put them in a zip lock baggie but started working on something else and forgot to wash them off in case I wanted to re use them. My question is is it too late to wash them off for re use or not.  We never re used them before but...
