When AIing with sexed heifer semen what size straw is recommend, 2ml or 5ml and how many should I use?  I am not flushing I am wanting to just AI using sexed heifer semen.  Thanks!

I was curious about what everyone's experience was with the simmental bull Dream Catcher.  I have a Simple Math/Friction heifer that is really cowy.  I was thinking of looking into the sexed heifer semen from him.  She is a bit smaller framed but is deep bodied with a lot of rib and shape to...

My brother bought a year old breeding heifer that is on the small side, about 850 pounds.  His daughter is showing her at our county fair and right now he is feeding Jackpot Gold (Kalmbach)which is a steer maker feed.  I told him that he probably needs to switch her to the Jackpot Heifer mix and...

Just got our feeder calves about a week ago and everything is going pretty good.  We have an oustanding little breeding heifer that we are hoping is going to make a good cow.  She is a simple math out of a friction cow.  She has really good thick body hair but the hair on her legs is real thin...

Looking for some info on MoorMan's ShowTec Cattle Grower show feed.  I have been feeding another feed with good success and the feed store where I get my feed is starting to carry the MoorMan's feed and don't know if it will conitue to carry the other.  Don't know much about it and was looking...

This is the first year that I have used the Estrotect patches and I was wondering once you see the patch that is the majority red do you breed it then or do you wait the 12 hours or so?  Thanks!

Just curious if anyone has had any Boardwalk calves yet and if so what kind of birth weigths have you had and what type of cows?  Thanks!

What does he work well with?  I have a second calf who made who/simmy heifer that I was thinking of breeding him to.  The heifer is sound and in a pretty package.  Do the cows need to be really deep bodied or heavily muscled.  With this breeding I would be hoping for a heifer but what kind of...

Was curious what everyone thought about him and if anyone has any experience using him.  I bought some sexed heifer semen from my COBA rep the last time he came and filled my tank.  Was thinking of using him on heifers and looks like he should make some good cows.  Thanks for the info. Here is...

i was wondering what everyone's opinion of his calves are.  I have a My Turn/Foreplay heifer I was thinking about breeding to him this spring.  She is very powerful and compact (should of been a steer) and was looking for a bull to stretch her out and give her calf a little more depth.  She is...

I have a first calf heifer that is not due till end of January but noticed today that she is not eating but all she wants to do is lick on the everything.  Whether it is the gates, woven wire fence, wood post it doesn't matter.  They have had 12% mineral tubs in the lot but ran out the other day...

This spring we should have our first calf crop in which we plan on selling all of our calves.  We should have 5 maybe 6 six available and was wondering what everyone thinks is the fairest way to sell them.  On a first come first serve basis and we set a price or set up a sale and set minimum...

What are some good pointers to get some good pictures of some calves to use for advertisement.  I have a decent digital camera and a Sony HD video camera.  I guess what are good angles to take shots from and so on.  Thanks!

Does anyone know of anybody that makes custom fitting mats.  I was wanting to order some specific colors.  Thanks!

I have a feeder heifer that is about ready to make me pull my hair out.  We have had her for about 3 weeks now and she is not wild by any means just really stubborn.  She is a show heifer so we have been working with her everyday a few times a day trying to walk her and and rinsing and blowing...

Looking at adding some new lights in my barn for the area where we have our grooming chutes setup for clipping.  What type of light works the best.  I have just some several rows of the 100w cfls lights throughout the barn now.  I was just wanting something so that I didn't have dig out the work...

I haven't used it much in the past but was wondering what everyones opinion was on it.  I was thinking about ordering the eZall It's Gone adhesive remover.  It is pretty pricey so does it take that much less compared to hocus pocus?  Thanks!

What are is everyone's preference between the two.  I have always used showbloom as a topdress in years past but it seems like I always have to hunt for a local feed store to have it in stock when I need it.  I have a new feed store close to me that is dealing Kalmbach feeds and he recommended...
