    Heat Question

    Ready to wean calf off of cow and cow just completed heat cycle, but I want to wait on AI till April.  If I put her in  pasture where the bull is, will she stay on same 21 day cycle or does weaning calf throw off the cycle and come in heat.  I use natural heat so just trying to avoid lute shot...

    Hauling Rates

    I'm picking up a couple of heifers for myself in Okla, hauling to Gulf Coast area.  I've had inquiries from other people to haul back a few animals so they wouldn't have to make the trip.  Would $ 100 a head be fair? Thanks!

    Dilutor Gene in Simmy Heifer

    Just got the Simmy papers and saw online where our heifer has the DL and OH Gene.  Is that anything to be worried about.  She is black with some red highlights.. The subject has been discussed but couldn't find whether it's something to be worried about.  Thanks

    Simmy Heifer

    Interested to hear from the Simmy Breeders if our Heifer is too "steery"  Pictures are tough but some of you guys have a trained eye.  She is plenty sound.
