I do think attitude is an important and I of the 1st questions I'm asked. My MABs with 1 exception have been the most laid back, easiest to break.  1 MAB walked off the trailer and into the barn to lay next to the calves tied up under fans and never really did fight. My BIMs have been on the...

Medium Rare I hadn't thought of doing it that way. My problem will be the formulas. But at least I will be able to record the date and use it on any device.  When, not if, I lose/drown/crush my phone again it won't be good.

I'm not looking for someone to build something from start to finish for free but see if it's something that can be done and how much it would cost. I'm also looking for a heat detecting app where I can put in heat date, time, and gives me a return to heat date.  If it would record breeding info...

I will go off the assumption you have had your heifers pelvic measured and scored.  I have attempted to keep numerous Monopoly heifers for cows.  They were all too small or odd shaped.  The only 1 here has a nice zipper on her side.  She pelvic checked in spring as acceptable then it didn't...

Giving GnRH and then breeding the next day is not a protocol I'm familiar with but I am also not a synch expert.  I'm curious as to the mechanics of how it would be an advantage over giving GnRH to non-responder at time of breeding.  I also have not tried 48 hours for non-responders and have...

The negative reports on him seem to be endless.  Interesting the last positive post is from a screen name deroc when his name is Derrick and goes by Rocking S.  Hard to understand why Breeders World would want to be connected and recommend a guy like him.

I used it the first year out and again last year and will this year.  I did not see any problems using it on calves.  Matter of fact we had some that went to a different farm that didn't get Long Range.  At weaning standing side by side the difference was very noticable.  Pasture conditions were...

Yes I would take the heifer back and refund your money or offer you a replacement if I have one to sell if you had bought heifers from me. Do you know the breeder well or at all? We don't pelvic check until right before breeding.  I agree with justintime it would be much easier to do before...

CAB they had a separate link to log in to watch the sale for those without a bidder number.  I think they had it set so you could initially watch it on either link but then changed it to bidders only on the one.  The viewing only link was right above the bidding link so if you didn't see it I...

Yes there is an antenna and cable specifically for longer range.  We had to put it outside the barn to transmit to the house.  Lorex makes one and there is one called a linear xtended range that comes with 18' of coax cable. The IP address does have to be put into the browser and you will need...

Google the guy that runs Rocking S.  He isn't somebody you want around.  If anyone does manage to get him to haul something pay him in cash only since you don't want him running around with your checking account information. You dodged a bullet with him. 

Oh this guy is not a juvenile.  He's 33 and has an extensive criminal record mostly for fraud but some violent stuff.  He's had more than one major accident killing livestock he's hauling. He likes to "forget" to drop off calves and hold them hostage for a grossly inflated price. He was...

On a more serious note, hauling needs to be a real concern. There are some real predators out there.  It's easy to rush to find a hauler especially when you want your calf home and there is a trailer in the area.  Get it all in writing.  I cannot stress this enough.  Get the price to haul and...

What age are your heifers paj315? Lite em up will get the fat if you are not careful.  In my experience it is a really good feed where we saw results pretty quickly.

I highly recommend Krazy Krefts from North Dakota.  They are fast and excellent customer service. 

Is he eating or drinking?  Any off color besides the blood to the manure?  When you say difficulty breathing do you mean he had his tongue out or was he grunting or something else? Are you supposed to give Baytril for 5 days?  Did your vet have a guess as to what it might be and what was he...

What are you feeding and what is the goal? We're using Primer Plus and Light 'em Up.  Really pleased with the progress of the calves.  We've tried others and haven't seen the results like we have with Umbarger. 

Did a vet stitch her up?  Are you sure he or she did not give her something? Is she moving around?  How about eating and drinking?

That's impressive!  We can't get light fixtures installed in one room that we remodeled in March. Hopefully your list is getting shorter and you're able to enjoy all of the festivities.

Yes get everything off of him until he is healed up reasonably well.  When are you planning on showing him? Did you tie him up with the chain halter?  Is he broke at all to tie?
