Woodrow($75/a straw-pricey though) seems like a good choice to use exotic cows to keep the American breed character. Does anyone know where to find any pics of his offspring?
I've also heard the name Bad Chicken - where can one find info on him?
(Please correct me if I'm wrong) Along time ago I used to A.I. for large producer and he didn't feel comfortable breeding cows very soon after a lutalyse injection. His theory was that it would kill the ovum (egg). Kind of how lutalyse would cause an abortion in early pregnancies. Of course...
A clip on nose lead might help - just have him get used to it while you tie him up with no pressure on it. (Of course never leave a calf unattended while tie up)
I like breeding for ABC steers. Usually I've bred commercial American breed cows to the popular exotic club calf bulls. Just wondering what American breed bull most use that is consistent in siring good show calves on cows that don't have enough breed character?
Thanks for any input in advance
