    1OAK Calves

    We have several coming this Fall. Just wondering how the ones that were born this Spring were developing. The Bull took a striking photo that has been used in his promotion that primarily prompted us to use him. In addition he is a M2O son and I have always loved him. Just never able to...

    Need help with newborn calf.

    Last year we had a calf born that at about a day old became very rigid especially on his rear legs. He lived about 3 months and continued to have stiff joints and very tight and rigid in his movement. I chalked it up to a genetic abnormality and sold the cow to eliminate the problem. This past...

    Unstoppable Calves

    We have a heifer this time that is really nice. She is out of a cow that is admittedly a little on the nervous side. All of the rest of the calves don't pay you any attention when you are walking through them like we all like them to be. However, this one calf wants to keep her distance and will...

    Angus Bull to Add Rib and Depth

    We have been working on our cow herd for years trying to improve and have made some slow progress. Like many we started a long time ago with old club calf show heifers. Back when we had no idea what we were doing. We only knew we wanted to try to raise some club calves. Over the years we have...

    Show Cattle Temperament Concerns

    I am experiencing more people when seeking information on a calf. One of the first things they ask about is temperament. So, this prompts 2 questions in my mind. Is anyone else seeing this as a trend in marketing show calves and what popular bulls are out there that are throwing those easy going...

    CNS Dream On L186

    I have access to some of this semen. I know that in the past there have been some powerful females produced out of Angus cows. I think I know the type of cow it would take to make these Heifers and basically that would be a powerful big ribbed big middle cow (a good one). With that being said...

    Monopoly 2

    Had a couple of straws in the tank and got 2 heifer calves last Sept. We are breaking them now and both are really good. I don't see him advertised any more. Has he just stopped producing and the semen supply depleted or is there another reason? All I see now is 4 and 5 and the original.

    MAB Ouestion

    We bred a couple of our best cows to MAB last fall. We have 2 bull calves that certainly have a lot of quality about them but I would consider both of them average on thickness. Both cows have had thicker stouter calves in the past. They are both deep, soft, big ribbed and pretty good...

I am committed to timed breeding 125 head for one producer 40 head for another and 50 head that we are going to breed on observation for the three days after PG and then breed...

    Opinions on matings

    I have seen post in the past about Jack Frost females. I have some Meyer x Angus cows and I also have some Jack Frost semen that a friend gave me years ago. What do you think about this mating to try to get some quality replacement heifers?

    Twins

    I had a 13 year old Heatseeker cow to calve this week. We bred her to Steam Roller and she had twins! Although, she is a great old cow and has produced some really nice calves over the years. Much like most Heatseekers she has never been a real good milker. I got her and the calves up and I am...

    Heifer has started to kick

    I sold a heifer to a family last spring that we broke and clipped and she never raised a foot. I talked to them today and she has evidently become a kicker. They say she is real nervous about anyone being behind her. I told them to tie her and use a broom and to try to desensitize her to being...

    Meyer 734 x Angus Embryos

    I realize there is a lot of scepticism about wheather all of the Meyer 734 progeny are really his. I have an opportunity to purchase some that I am confident are the real deal. What are they worth on today's market?

    Heifer Fertility

    I had a set of yearling crossbred heifers that I began to ai back in Dec. They are all clubby bred and are mostly simmy x maine. Of the ten, two of them cycled normally and bred on the first service. I continued to observe them for heat with none detected. In Jan. I gave the remaining eight a...

    Need Advice!

    I was checking cows today and noticed one with a 6" mucos string hanging from her. She was bred AI on Dec. 2nd. She is not showing any signs of heat. She is also 12 years old. Should I be conserned?
