I was able to get some - apparently mine came from one of the first collections after his accident.  Got 30 freezable embryos using three straws on one flush.  I understand its few & far between. 

Unfortunate and senseless loss.  I got to know him personally through shows.  He was always willing to help and knew what he was doing.  RIP Karlton.

We've had it happen before too.  We can't watch them all and the ones on pasture do what they will.  However if I see it in the pens, I get rid of it before the cow can get to it.  That is also partially for my own benefit as my gag reflex is triggered by the sound of it! blech.

I guess I don't see the problem.  Fortunately (or unfortunately) we don't have to classify here.  Steers have to have papers..    And a Sim steer can be sired by MAB, Monopoly, HW, pick any clubbie bull... as long as the cow is a registered simmental.  Technically she should be a PB making the...

I liked what we got and will use him again. I would agree with this. The calves we got are thick enough but might wish for a touch more frame.  I like the soundness and bone we got. 

It really depends on how well I know the seller.  Most of the time, the flush never happens and if it does, its supposed to be at the convenience of the buyer.  Also, look at the details of the flush..  does it specify number of embryos?  We have purchase several with a retained flush and its...

How late would you cut or band a bull and still expect him to be a good show steer?

We've fed the cattle feeds as well as the supplements.  I think the heifer developer is a pretty good product but not sure that it is much different from other company's developer.  Supplements.. we've fed several that they sell and had mixed results.  Like the lubrisyn, nu-grow, BR Fat, and...

Make sure she got some kind of antibiotic injection.    Good old penicillin works pretty good on injuries.    She also could be given something for the inflammation .. what depends on if she is bred or not and what your vet would prescribe.  Otherwise.. hydrotherapy.. just run water on it 10-20...

Do not stay at Days Inn west on I70.  It was horrible last year.  They had a large group of Army, Guard, ROTC people come in and had room mixups like crazy.  Parking was a complete mess..  could not get out when we had to leave at 4am. 

(clapping) (clapping) (clapping)

I think that is the real answer to the whole deal.

extra set of pickup keys too..

  That is the truth!
