    MAB Clone Pigmentation

    Here's is an example.  They are still very similar, but the migration doesn't line up perfectly.

    MAB Clone Pigmentation

    There have been many studies on this that go way over my head.  This is a very well know occurrence because of the use of cloning in Holstein cattle.  A group of clones will all have slightly different patterns.  As I understand it melanocyte migration (which dictates pigmentation) occurs during...

    MAB clones

    I didn't know about these guys.  How did Lautner pull that off?

    Failed Breeding

    Like the others said, speak with a vet.  The fact that she has short cycles could mean she is cystic.  If that is the case a shot of GnRH would likely fix your problems.

    Best colored bulls out there

    What's the general opinion of Man Among Boys and Choppin Wood?  Both are bulls that were mentioned earlier that I really liked, but was waiting for some calf reports before using.

    Preferred Preg Check Method?

    If you have a good vet that is the best method.  A blood test can't tell between AI and natural service date if you have both.  Also, if you are only using AI and there is an issue affecting conception (cystic ovary or abnormal repro tract in heifers) the vet can ID that and save you money in...

    EXG First Rate

    Is First Rate a carrier for any of the angus genetic defects and what type of females does he work the best with? Also what is semen on this bull selling for now?  I know it is very hard to find and the only info I really know about the bull is that he is the sire of Dameron First Class and he...

    Looking for a good place to have Jr. Nationals in TX

    Amarillo has an air conditioned show ring and is affordable.  The city is very supportive and will help with some of the expense to bring the extra business in to town.

    weigh-in weight shrinkage

    I don't get the granola bars, because first cutting hay would do just fine.  The ensure was to rehydrate him, but it makes no sense either.  You can pull water from one and take it off in a day.  Why keep a steer dehydrated for a month when he isn't losing any more weight???

    weigh-in weight shrinkage

    24 hours off feed and water is fine.  You can go a little longer on the feed, but it won't take much more off.  I wouldn't give anything to try to "flush them out". They will already be empty.

    Black Limmis vs Maines?

    There have not been double muscled limis for a very long time.  I would agree that they can be rounder and more fine boned.  Maines also bred much better hair.  Limis are very sound these days and have their advantages. They are thick, growthy, and known for calving ease.  As a whole limis are...

    The craziest thing you have seen at a cattle show

    A couple years ago I had a cow/calf pair that I took to our state fair.  The calf took the trip hard and got sick on us.  She was pretty "loose" at the time and was coughing on and off.  A girl came walking through the aisle; sunglasses, short shorts, and flip flops.  She was holding her nose...
