    Iowa's cow herd

    in South Dakota, we have followed wheat or oats or barley with fall cover crops; if we have enough moisture it will work fine; if we are short on moisture the following spring, we will take it in the shorts with next year's crop.  It's hit and miss.

    Heifer long labor

    hope you've gotten her in and checked her by now; if the calf is full breech, often the cow won't go into labor; or if the calf is huge and the uterus is so stretched it may not go into a good labor; or sometimes, she just don't go into a good labor for who knows why but our vet will c-section...

    EMBRYO TRANSFER - IMPROVING BOVINE PREGNANCY RATES

    Have found here that the environment seems to play the biggest role in embryo survival; it seems to be something we cannot predict nor control well at all; such as, last August we transferred embryos and one would think that the heat of the late summer would have been killing to them; we got...

    Walking my steer

    I agree also with the nose ring....you can buy snap in nose rings and a lead in Sullivan's catalog or online. nose rings will bring even the most obnoxious animals to submission.

    Bulls to use on heifers

    clubby we love Mercedes Benz and simmi we use Westfall Voyager. Voyager is older but very tested and Mercedes is not as old but tested.... one thing you don't do is use a new "calving" ease sire; too many times they don't hold out to their calving ease and you end up with a mess
