I got two of them this spring both born unassisted.  Both are jet black with good hair for being used on th free cows.  Both are very struturally correct.  They say to use him on long neck clean fronted cows.  Both of mine are very good fronted.  Only week old right now so will know more in...

I am pretty sure the cow was a dejavue daughter.

I can tell you that one of the first cows i purchased just over 17 years ago from a ranch in montana that one of them was a pha carrier back then.  Remember now this was a commercial operation out there that used alot of maine anjou breeding. Her 4th calf was pha positive and that was before...

I dont have the information in front of me on pelvic measurements but with her being a heat wave you have to remember heat waves birth weight himself was huge.  Thus his daughters can throw large calves.  So her pelvic measurement maybe fine but will it be enough for the added birth weight and...

Dejavue's mother is 16 years old now and still producing.  I can see her anytime i want she is just three miles from me.  In all those years i think only one calf has been pulled out of that cow and that was a backwards heifer. She is moderate framed simi x maine/angus.  He is a full flush son...

Walks alone is TH positive. 

Had one this spring out of a double vision x maine cow and that heifer was big.  picking her up at birth i would guess 120 or more.  So wouldnt be saying they come manageable.  and i have talked to others that had big ones as well.

Well i for one dont want someone cloning a calf i raise and sell.  If you figure out how hard it is to raise a great one and someone just buys it and starts cloning that animal.  Takes alot of the guess work on breeding decisions out of the window. And hurts business when dont have repeat...

From what i have seen the monopolies have great dispositions even out of full flush cows.

Yesterday i find out that the judge judging our county fair today called a person this week to ask who he needed to put up at our county fair.  Then talking to another guy a county fair east of here the judge put up for grand and reserve two calfs he had sold.  Maybe those were the best two...

I agree 4 to 6 hours after standing heat.  I have had several this year and in the past start standing at noon and bred the following morning and had great luck.  The cow doesnt ovulate for awhile after she is done standing.

Knock on wood but i have had very good luck with  monopoly semen.  Last year was 5 out of 6 and this  year so far 2 out of three. When i flushed to  monopoly last year i was 13 out of 15 eggs fertilized both times.

I agree with not breeding a carrier to another carrier of the same  birth defect.  But i disagree with the statement that the birth defects are going to be short lived.  I had a cow that was 17 years old and just sold her two years ago and she was a carrier of pha.  She originated from out west...

I believe she is a th carrier herself.  So if you flushed her to a th bull then 25 % of the calves would have to be destroyed because they wouldnt be able to get up and nurse or walk.  And if i remember correctly she is an alias out of a heat seeker cow. 

I have seen it before as well.  But i dont know if it means they are going to make a great cow.  I remember years ago a full sister to a very prominent promotional bull got bred and calved when she was 15 months old and it was a c section. Also the promotional bull never frooze semen till he...

One and only might work but he is TH clean and if the cow is also which looking at her and her pedigree would be my guess.  You are not going to get the hair you need with that cross. I would recommend a TH positive bull to give you the hair on 50% of the offspring.  I can go out in the pasture...

I have always gotten paid for the cattle that i  have sold for show cattle.  And the cattle i dont sell for show cattle have done just fine in the feedlots and at the sale barn.  Only have had two crippled calves in 8 years and one of them was out of an angus bull.  You have to select the right...

The schools that are joining the big ten is because of the revenue from the big ten network.  So it has to do with money to the schools.

Does anyone know what semen collection facility uses the prefix 109 on the straws of semen.  Just trying to see where the semen was collected that i was using. Thank you

My experience with full flush in the past and on alot of cows.  You need to use  him on a moderate framed cow that has alot of depth.  He will take depth away.  He will add muscle but would say if you want them stouth they need to be out of a stouter cow as he will not add alot of bone from my...
