I have two units of semen on an old Angus named Black Ballot F65.  He was born in 1962. He is a son of the popular Scottish champion Ballot of Belladrum (shown in picture).  A unit of Belladrum sold some time back for $3200. These are being used to develop super-efficient, moderate...

I was approached today by a gentleman selling exclusive cloning rights to the cell line of Heatwave's dam. I am told she was never cloned. I thought this might generate interesting discussion. What is the value of the cell line? Cost to clone? Is she pertinent in today's club calf industry...

Found some purebred Chianina semen in my dad's old tanks. Anybody interested in Fonto semen?  He was one of the early bulls. Anybody got pix of him from back in the day?

I found a cane of Covino III ampules among other old semen in my dad's tanks. Would there be interest if I held a rare semen auction this fall? One distributor lists it at $300, another at $150. Thanks

He was one of the earliest imports. Was he Swiss Simmental or Fleckvieh?

He came from the famous Litton Ranch in Missouri, but I am not familiar with this bull.

I found a cane of Earl Marshall Legend ampules. He was a great Angus show bull in late 70's as I recall. Would he work today? Other comments- EPD's would probably be very low compared to today, but EPD's mean nothing in a ring.

My father was a rep for Select Sires for over 30 years. I have purchased his farm semen tanks and semen inventory. I wrote down a few of the semen codes that were most common or easiest to read. I would appreciate help in identifying some of the bulls.  I will be a taking a full inventory and...

I attended a field day last year and watched a guy trim hooves using an upright hydraulic chute to trim hooves on cattle. It was slick and he trimmed feet in about five minutes per animal. Who makes these things and what do they cost? I am in central Illinois. Thanks !

I have a heifer I would like to register as a 25% Simmental. Out of a Belted Galloway bull and Simmental/ Angus cow. I cannot register Beltie as the dam has a white face. Maternal grandsire is a purebred, but not registered Simmental bull. No clue to his lineage. Grand dam is commercial...

We will show this heifer this summer but are trying to develop the heifer more as a cow prospect. She is a legitimate June 18 heifer, not a March papered as a June.  She currently weighs 750 at 10 months. Does she need more feed?  She gets 12 pounds a day. First pic In March, second in mid...

I am planning to AI some heifers on or about May 25 and would appreciate folks help in selecting the best protocol and what dates I would insert cidrs and give shots. Thank you!

Lost a 12 day old calf yesterday and don't know why. Calf has been thrifty, but found her laying curled up and looking peaceful. Posted the calf.  Heart looked large.    Heart walls were thin. No trauma, no lesions anywhere. Digestive tract and contents were normal in appearance. Coloration...
