    Hartman's sale

    Does anyone have results from Hartman's sale?  I'm wondering about highlights in general and the Charolais heifers in particular.  Thanks.

    Denver bulls

    I personally thought that Call of Duty was the best display bull.  Heatseeker off a Deiter cow.

    Blue Roan Question

    Does anyone know if Sin City carries the roan gene? If you bred SC to a solid black comm cow (would be 75% plus Angus and I believe homozygous black)... assuming he carries the roan gene... should 50% of calves be blue roan? Thanks.

    Who makes the best bumper hitch aluminum stock trailer?

    I understand that Wilson is a very good aluminum gooseneck trailer.  Who makes a comparably good aluminum gooseneck? Thanks.

    Questions on TH and PHA testing

    I'm sure this has been addressed before, but maybe I wasn't searching the right words.  Anyway I'm sure an update can't hurt. I am wondering how to test calves for TH and/ or PHA: - what kind of sample is required? - where do you send it?  I noticed there are a few different providers so what...

    Alias on PB Charolais cows? Also a question on rat tails.

    I have read the search results for Alias on the forum.  Sure sounds like you need to use him on a sound cow, but if you are careful that way he does have some upside.  I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using him on PB Char cows?  I have 3 that I was considering using him on. Also, can...

    Denver Maine Sale & PHA

    Too bad to hear.  Makes you wonder more about the correlation between some factors we desire in these cattle and being a PHA carrier (a la TH with hair and bone).  But it seems nothing has been shown as consistently with PHA as compared to TH. The bull's name seems awfully ironic now that the...

    Short cycling a heifer

    Thanks for the help.  Can I get a bit of clarification... What is a CL? What about non-responders?  I think I understand that I give a shot on day 7 or so (Monday July 6th) then expect a heat 48-72 hours after that.  I am then guessing that some may not respond that way so I wait until day 10...

    Short cycling a heifer

    So Lutalyse on this Saturday the 4th?  If I give her this shot on that date, when would I expect her to come back into heat?

    Short cycling a heifer

    I have a yearling heifer that we are trying to AI.  She came in a very strong heat on Monday this week (June 29th).  I decided not to AI her at that time since I was a little late on the heat detection and she is headed in for a show this week.  With the hot weather, trailer rides, extra stress...

    To fudge or not to fudge, that is the question!

    Quick question here - does anyone use a tape rather than a scale for birth weights?  Do you consider the tape to be accurate enough? When we registered calves, we used to use the tape.  Compared it to the scale a number of times and found it to be pretty close.  We used it consistently because...
