That is one way to try to double sales on CIDRs!

What did the calf do when you put the cow back with it, after separating them for 4 to 6 hours

Full Screen...so the fuzzy videos may not be the result of too many adult beverages?

Or, instead of criticizing you, maybe some more ideas would be more helpful? Try making her walk backwards (after untying her from the truck). It is harder for them to plant themselves and not budge.  Also lead her in tight circles in each direction. Again pulling in a way that she can not...

I have 10 units for sale

"The main question at hand was why a heifer would be showing NO signs of being the slightest bit ready to calve...no swelling of the vulva, no udder, nuthing" Because she was NOT READY TO CALVE. Now the heifer may be shipped because she was induced before she began to dialate. It is assumed...

May be white muscle disease.  try selenium.  We had one just like that and I was told that was what it was.  The cow stepped on the calf and broke one of its front legs before we could see if the BO-SE would work.

I asked the DOT officer if they were concerned about the revenue they would lose by people avoiding Iowa.  He said "No, we don't care about that."

A neighbor had this happen a few years back, so I called to check to see what I needed to avoid any trouble.  The Iowa DOT said you must have a DOT #, flares, fire extinguisher, your truck and trailer tested, and a health card.  At that time if you didn't have any of these the fine was $1600.  I...

I just saw a commercial that says if you have a calf with a birth defect, and the cow took ZOLOFT, you may be entitled to a cash settlement. sorry I didn't catch the phone #.

sometimes you can get them if you breed early or late, say 2 hours after first standing heat or 24 hours after.

Go to cwcattlesales and check out lot 1 on Campbells sale.  I went over to see the calves Sunday and couldn't believe how much width she had.  I have never used the bull, but after seeing that heifer I may have to give him a try!

use on smaller framed angus cows.  You shouldn't have calving problems, but I don't use him on heifers.  Hope for replacement heifers, but the steers will out gain most anything.  Some times OLD SCHOOL = PROVEN...

90 to 120 days old works good for us. 

That's what I am saying, 10% is pitiful.  We get 80% or better on cows that show a heat, 10% on cows time bred because they didn't show a heat.  On your 4 you are out $100, but if I do it the way you are I would be out well over $1000.  The nice thing about synchronizing is the ability to make...
