Just got 7 good embryos and 4 degens from the first time flushing my Net Worth donor.  Considering she got the generic first time dose I thought this was pretty good.  I know there are some folks on here that do a lot of flushing.  What do you consider a good flush.  I would personally like to...

This is a Silveiras Style X New horizon. We're pretty high on this girl.  She's a mid February.

This heifer is 4 days old.  We've been anxiously awaiting this one!  Our style calves have been real nice so far.   Edited 10/01/2011: This heifer has really come on as of late.  Let me know what you think!  This heifer has a 3/30 birthdate.

This is a pregnancy test that can be given 18 days post insemination.  Anyone tried it?  What did you think? http://twilcanada.com/products_html.html

So today I get home from work and check a bred heifer that is due to calve anytime by the way she looks.  She has two feet sticking out with normal presentation. I think to myself "Cool. This is gonna be easy!".  Big mistake!  I keep waiting and there is absolutely no progress.  Just a heifer...

I know there are quite a few people on here who have a large number of cows.  We've been expanding our herd and with that expansion we need some more shelter for early born calves(January and February).  I'm located in Central Illinois so weather and wind can really be harsh(like right now for...

I've officially entered the most exciting and nerve-wrecking time of the year.  Already had two calves.  One was a heifer by TC Aberdeen 759 and a bull by SAV Heavy Hitter.  The bull calf came early this morning.  I thought the cow was acting a little strange so I put her in the barn.  I got up...

Does anyone know where I might be able to find some semen on this bull?  I know that he died a while back.

Ok, I'm finally going to throw in the towel on my 6.0 Powerstroke.  I just can't afford the maintenance and the wife told me to find something else.  I'm looking at 2007/2008 chevy Duramax trucks.  Can I hear some of the good and the bad about these trucks?  Can't believe I'm thinking about...

I know when sexed semen first came out it was only recommended for heifers.  Is Genex Sexed semen suitable for cows? 

I was looking at some cattle yesterday at one of my buddy's pastures and he had a pretty moderate angus heifer.  Not the itty bitty so called defect.  Just moderate.  If these were to be used with lowline genetics would they at most only be 1/2 blood lowlines if bred to a purebred Lowline bull? ...

I'm getting ready to wean some bulls and am wanting to put them on a self feeder.  I will have 4 bulls to wean.  Any suggestions on self feeders?

Here is a Jan. 26 bullcalf 81lb. BW out of a first calf heifer.  He is a Gambles Royal Flush X TC Freedom.  He will be the heaviest critter ever weighed at weaning on our place(at least I think so).  Opinions good and bad are welcome.  

I was out in the barn tonight kicking out heifers and was wishing one of my heifers was a little bit bigger.  Yesterday, out of curiosity, I took a hip height measurement and she was right at a 5.5 frame.  I then started to think how many good moderate females I've seen this summer and thought...

Heard a rumor that Colorado is now classified as a TB state.    Don't know if anyone else has any info on this.  Angus junior nationals are in Colorado and I'm from Illinois.  Looks like a possible shorthorn replay.

My cousin called me this morning and told me he left the lid off of his semen tank for about three days.  It was night when he bred a cow and he forgot to put the stopper back in.  He asked me if his semen was still good. He also told me that he checked and there was plenty of liquid nitrogen...

I'm just curious what everyone's opinion is of semen quality these days as compared to 10-15 years ago.  If your wondering why I'm asking, its because I started looking through my old herd books I have for each year.  Twelve years ago my AI conception rate was right at 60%.  Last year I was 90%...

I took a pic of my fall baby that we will be showing this summer. It's kind of a rough shear job.  I sheared her out in the stall after only being tied up twice.  To her credit, she acted pretty darn good.  What do you think?

Not too long ago there was a video that was put on here that talked about the threat of HSUS.  I know this is kind of vague but If I can find it again I think that it would be a very helpfull educational tool.  I've done a couple search and can find nothing.  Any help is truly appreciated!  

I know there are some of you that put in a lot of embryos.  What would you consider the optimum age span for a recip?
