I hear ya... its tricky business just having to catch the cows in season in this god awful hot weather, now factor in low quality semen. Lotta $20 bills getting flushed down the toilet, but normally the reward outweighs the risk.
I used him on 2 cows that we normally dont have trouble getting bred and neither stuck. I ordered my semen this year from Bull Barn Genetics, never went through them before but they had everything I needed so I figured I'd give it a shot. In previous years we are really successful with around...
For me personally I'd rather get the calf to a good home moreso than to the highest bidder, unless you know they do a good job. As a current college student that only sells several steers a year I'd love to be shoveling in the outrageous prices some people get for less than average calves but...
May 2009 Legend 242 X PureGold(son). We've reached max capacity on our land otherwise she'd stay, good maternal bloodlines should make an exellent cow. PM for price and location.

How about Baton Rouge, full brother right??? I was considering using one of the two, any opinions on the two's calves would really help making the choice.

Are you watching him eat, if they're all eating out of the same bunk he may be getting rooted out by bigger calves. I used to feed calves like that seperately to ensure they were getting their fair share. You might also want to limit the hay consumption, he may be tanking up on the hay and...
Colts all they way!!! Broadcasters keep saying how its the Saints destiny and how the city loves them so much and the team means so much bla bla bla. Yes, New Orleans takes a lot of pride in the team but so does Indy. I'm currently living in Indianapolis and it is quite rediculous how insane...
