I am looking at supplementing my cowherd and saw some utv/atv feeders that carry up to 700 lbs and have an auger to dispense feed. Does anyone on here have one that they use or recommend? I have seen stull, feed train, and others online but not sure which to pick.

stout sound, he was not the hairiest while a hfr we sold had nice hair out of exile 

The champion shorthorn steer at WI state fair was one.

Who on here has done some of both methods of et work? Do you think the extra cost and reduced conception rates is worth it to get the right sex most of the time on embryo calves? Any tips on how to have good success with ivf thats any different than normal flushing?

Ali has been working darn good on the cow side of Monopoly and MAB calves. The clone ali 2 works just as good.

I was looking to do a mixed flush on a cow but the bulls I want to use are similar enough that you cant  tell 100% for sure so was wondering how to do it between clubby bulls. Anyone done it?

Im 5 11 and like using the 68. If showing a big steer, hfr, bull... you can reach the back legs easier than using the 60. you can also reach to put the tail down. If you have to reach with the show stick and pull the head towards you while reaching they will not set up as easy and might move on...
