    Most Consistent Cow Breeding

    When we see champions plastered on websites and blogs they always mention the bull, and some most definitely stand out more than others in the consistent production top quality club calves. But what I would like to know is what has been the most consistent bloodlines for the cows that these...

    Club Calf Producers/Traders that have kids showing

    My family has always followed the same aspect as a few have mentioned before. We sell everything we can and then go and purchase our calves from others in the business. Our clients have just as much right to go purchase the animals that we are purchasing so we find that to be the most just...

    Getting calves started on creep feed

    We normally have a difficult start with our calves as well, the sure fix for me over the past few years is to break a small square bale of alfalfa up inside the cage and then put a bit in the tray of the feeder. Sometimes it takes one more bale after they finish the first one but so far I...

    MAB Clones

    Only have had one so far and it is only a few weeks old but when I compare it to my embryos that are the same age out of the original as of this age I would have a hard time telling you which was which. I also did a split flush with one straw of original and one of clone for the fall on a cow...

    What to use on First Calf Heifers

    We have also been very happy with Jesse, we have used him heavily over the past two years and have only touched a few calves neither of which was very big. The only one we pulled this year was 3 days over due and I think the heifer could have had it easy she just played out with the bad weather...

    What to use on First Calf Heifers

    Looked at him and I really like what I see, has anyone seen any calves out of him yet? I know he is young so there most likely isn't many.

    Unstoppable and Maternal Perfection

    Commercial Angus cows mainly, few crossbred cows in there but nothing crazy just a shot of maine. We did have some unstoppable calves out of our Alias Donor that I really like. I just wish I could have had a heifer but you can't complain about live calves. If you want to take a look I shot some...

    Unstoppable and Maternal Perfection

    We didn't have a lot but from what I've seen Maternal Perfection seems to be a little bigger. But this was on a very small sample set.

    Which bulls on angus cows?

    We run almost all Angus in our spring herd and have had good luck with Monopoly clones and also walks alone. We didn't have very many this year but I think Unstoppable would also be nice. From what I have seen out of the fall born calves around me MAB might be pretty solid bet also. Then there...

    UNSTOPPABLE

    We have had great luck using him, the thing that I really like is you do not have to sacrifice replacement heifer genetics to get that good bull/steer. Also I have not had any problem with the semen. I flushed an Alias cow to him last spring and had 12 out of 12 grade 1's. I then put 4 of them...
