We did our genetic test with Igenity and got fast results,,think it was $52.00 for Th and Pha.  But please check their web site for sure.  They have a full price list on the site and if you have questions give them a call,,,when I called they were very pleasent and helpful and we had the test...

One and Only is doing a fine job of breeding and as a Free TH Heat Wave son he definetly has a place.  But as a heifer bull, that is not his place!!  We have a neighbor with low EPD angus and they have had a couple of One and Onlys out of heifers and have gotten along great,, they had no issues...

Years ago, we early weaned a set of mid march calves in mid july..  they were on creep good and kept on eating.    It worked, bull calf and heifer calf champion at two state fairs and champion jr. get of sire.  Looking back now though, I wish we would have just day weaned them till the middle of...

Just saw a 12 hr old my turn out of an angus cow.  She is a sweetheart!  Right now she is big boned and great fronted and has PLENTY OF HAIR.  Not to big either,,maybe 75 lbs at the most.  I think she is a full sister to the My Turn heifer we tried to buy last year!!  I know we are going to...

If you are asking about Kesslers Frontman the angus bull,,,Yes we have.  Only bred a couple of heifers to him and have one on the ground and waiting on the other.  Hope the second is just like the first one.  Bull calf two weeks early  64 lbs.  unassited and the calf  up and nursing in...

I am afraid we have highjacked "Taylor Rocks" post on what to AI his cow to.  But I am enjoying the comments on here and wish there was a post to continue this discusion on.  I will age myself alittle and say that the TH PHA issues are not the first genetic defects I have delt with in my...

Ha Ha,, when I first read the question the first thing that came to mind is Brush Brush Brush.  I have to admit I really like the first two comments they really nailed it!!!  And it is true a roto-brush willl help speed things up some.  But for those hard to reach places a scotch comb and a rice...

The number of straws used will depend on how many fertilized eggs you want!!!!  We always use three, 12 hours apart.  The last cow we did, it was a good thing we used all 3 straws,,, we had 14 number one eggs  but there was an even split of stage 6 - 5  and 4's,,so we might have missed some if...

We did our last test with hair samples to Igenity.  I called them first to see if they wanted hair or blood to do Th and PHA test.  They told me they prefered hair and that was great for us as we did the test in December and I did not want to send blood in the cold weather.  The guy I talked to...

The TH and PHA issue is just an extention of the genetic defect wars that have been going on since man started to keep pedigrees on cattle or any livestock.   Unfortunatly I am a Veteran of the gentic wars!!!   TH and PHA are just the current flavors of the month so to speak.   I have to agree...

Thiis is a situation the just plain sucks and we have been thru it.  If  there is any mold in the hay or grain you are feeding this can cause the slipped calf.    Our Vet suggested we hit the cows with a high level of CTC in their feed for a week, yes this gets pretty spendy, but so is losing...

YES I did "MY BAD"  matter of fact I was on my way home from town and realized what I had typed!!!  So I am on here right away to correst it.  I ment to say Tiger Woods is TH free and PHA free.  Some times I call the cattle clean and dirty,,and in the back of my mind the C ment clean!!! Again I...

You are being very realilistic about your breeding and timing on your cow.  Especially if you are willing to give up 30 days on her calving interval.  As long as she has a no issue birth and you maybe pamper her alittle bit.  You plan on the expence of the flush and the extra work,,and you have...

It's not that I don't like Monopoly guys.  But until they get a TH test on that cow, they better becareful, or the whole discusion could be a mute point.  You know--dead calf, maybe dead calf a c-section bill and ruined cow, dead calf dead cow and a vet bill.   Been there done all of that.    We...

Many good commemts on this subject so I will throw in some of mine.  Along with our cattle I have worked in the gas and oil industy and sustainable energy (wind).  So as you might be able to tell I am totally for the Keystone Pipeline.  I would much rather see oil from our friends in Canada...

We love our blue roans,,kind of a marriage of our Angus and Shorthorn past.  You are on the right course,,get her tested first!!!    We also had a hereford x blue roan calf a couple of years ago,,,only thing was ours was makred like a herf but the body was blue roan,,really a cute calf.  So we...

IF the cattle are quite , there is no reason you cannot get them ready in the stahl.  I hate to even think how many I have fitted in the stahl.  NO it is not the way you want to do it, but when push comes to shove,,you can do it. 

`Showsteer gal,,I have been trying to post on here for somne time but !!  I see that this post is up to three pages now, and it is all possitive from what I have read.  You want to start to say AI is GREAT, we can not see how to work a cow herd with out ilt,,,my family has been AI ing since the...

Trevorgrey:  Thank you,  I  can say yes I saw the bull.  And had some experience with the daughters and grandaughters.  They were some pencil necked slim headed bitches, that could reach around any corner and get you,,,but that is the kind of cow I like!!!!  Looking back, wish my DAd would...

Dynamo was qute a bull in his time.  Most of you kids who think you know what a good moving animal is would drop over if you could have ever seen him move!!!  As a coming three year old they ran him around a plowed quater section of ground everyday,,they had to change leaders every half mile. ...
