This was our first year using Multimin.  I talked to my vet a lot about this product before we used it, and he told me it was better to be 30 or more days out on the multimin then under 30. So we brought in a couple ai groups at a time and used gave them all a shot at the same time, to save time...

I have had a few calves out of him, the last 2 year. I never got any females, but all the bull calves I got, were right in the mid 80's for BW.  I bred him to sim cross cows in hope of getting replacements.  The calves were all built the same, decent power and good style, some had good hair some...

I have used both Mercedes Benz and Maternal Perfection, in my herd.  I have bred both to my big broody percentage sim cows, and hands down I like Benz better for over all quality. They are thick and more attractive made, and I feel the females are a lot better over all... Perfection has been hit...

I had my first bandwagon calves this spring, and the heifers are some of the best I have ever had. 

The ones I have had are really good cattle.  They come small and grow good, they have a really nice look to them with a lot of power.  I have bred most of my heifers to him the last 4 breeding seasons, without any problems.  Disposition wise I haven't had any problems, they all seem real quite...

What are the birth weights on your calves out of him, have any calving problems? 

What kind of cows has he been working best on, alias always worked good on my cows.  Also what have the birth weights been like on him?

I bred 5 cows to the bull custom made this spring so in February and March I can tell you more.  I haven't used the other bull so I won't be any help there.

What have the BWs on his calves been?

I just had my first one last Friday out of a PB sim cow.  Calf was 5 days late and weighed 88 pounds.  As of right now im really liking the calf, he has good hair, power and bone, with a nice profile. 

I've been having the same problem here in kansas with my cows.  Been talking to a few neighbors that AI too and they are having the same problem. It's getting real frustrating I usually like to have my cows out on grass already.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on this post, I really appreciate it.

That is a really nice hereford bull.

I was wondering what works best for everyone when it comes to heat detection? What gives you the most accurate reading and hold up the best over time and in wet weather?

My biggest calf was 85 pounds, 6 days over due out of a big simmy cow that has some birth weight to her.  The lightest calf was 77, everything else was in between.  I used him on all second calvers or older, I've never been one to use clubby bulls on hfrs. 

I have a few on the ground out of sim and sim cross cows this year.  They were all bull calves, so I can't tell much on the type of females he makes.  The steer calves I have are all real nice calves super hairy with some chrome.  None of them are what you call a great one, but all of them are...

I have been using Mercedes Benz on my simmy and sim cross cows, and I love the females I get from this mating.  The steers can be hit and miss.

("Sometimes facts speak louder than science.... our facts are we have noticed non responders given gnrh when timed aied and didn't take are the ones that calve a few cycles behind.") We have noticed the same thing on or cows that have been TAI.  The ones that don't stick always end up 3 to 4...

Yes that's is the Grizzly Bear bull I was asking about.  Sorry I noticed I spelt his name wrong in the post. Thank you to everyone who has posted so far.  Maternal Profection and Grizzly Beat where the main two I was leaning towards before I made the post.  If anyone else has anymore to add on...

I am thinking of using these bulls this year and was looking for some more calf reports on them since a few of them now have a couple of calf crops on the ground. I was wondering what kind of cows they work on, how they grow and birth weights.  The majority of my herd is sim and sim cross cows...
