Just got done with this year's AI'ing and already thinking about next year.  Looking for simmental bulls that add depth and correctness.  Thank you in advance!

Had a 90# bull calf at noon today, wasn't a long labor but was a very difficult pull, calf presented with head bent back and upside down.  Our first concern was lungs sounded wet but that cleared after some vigorous rubbing and a couple coughs. Have given dexamethasone and penicillin as a...

I did go ahead and bred her. Thought the tract had questionable tone.  I did put a new patch on her.  Only time will tell!

We pulled cidr's yesterday at 3pm and gave 5ml of lutalyse.  When I checked the heifers at 9am today I was a ttle suprised to find one whose estrodetect patch was already rubbed completely green.  Is it possible she came in heat that fast?  She is a first calf heifer that lost her calf 60 days...

We've decided to keep her and hope for the best!  She's young, docile and a good mother.  Cross your fingers for me.

2nd calf heifer had to have a section last night due to abnormal presentation of a large calf.  I asked the vet if she would heal up well enough to keep and rebreed, the answer was "right now let's worry about survival ".  So assuming she doesn't develop any infection and lives, what would you...

I posted a similar question month or 2 ago.  Cattle max was the consistent reply but I'm still using pen and paper.  There are great weather, feed ration calculator  and market apps you can use to justify the Ipad purchase too!

This is first time I've used Built Right but I was shocked, to the point I almost wonder if the straw was right.  But the closest thing I have to any clubby semen in my tank would be Limestone Trifecta or Chill Factor, those still shouldnt be monsters.  The heifer is a commercial sim/angus that...

We decided to calve a few heifers early to get it over with.  Was very excited when 9 out of 13 heifers stuck AI for me.  The Sand ranch hand calves and an Amigo are all already on the ground and doing great, between 50-80 lb birth weights and vigorous babies that got up and sucked.  After...

Wish it was available in a not online version.

Any you have tried? Pros and cons?  Or stick with the good ole pencil and paper?

We've started getting up at night to check our first calf heifers that are due Jan 2.  We check on them every four hours and when they get a little closer we will be putting them in the barn at night.  Have to watch that new calves are cleaned off well by momma and get up to suck in a short...

Thank you, really helpful stuff here.  I wouldn't of given Strictly Business much thought before.  Lots of mating possibilities going through my head now!

I have a neighbor who retired from the clubby business a couple years ago.  He still has his tank and has said to use anything we want out of it.  I've not used a lot of clubbies but would like to produce couple terminal calves for my kids to show.  Can you tell me anything about these bulls...

Is there such a thing as a feed lot tour you can go on during the stock show?  I thought I heard somthing about one when we were out there last last year.  I've tried to Google search for one and haven't come up with anything.

These girls are due to calve in 2 weeks. They are sisters to the open heifers I  have, just to give you anan idea what they look like.  Leabeef, how is Tanker on heifers? I was planning on using him on cows

Has anyone tried Duracell?

I just looked up the Star bull, thank you very much for that suggestion! I really like him

About half are out of a Mo Better son, then there are a few Goldmine, R&R Warehouse and Ruby's Throwdown.  I do have 10 straws of Triple C Singletary which is a full brother to Bettis, I haven't used either one before.

I think the Pacesetter bull is a viable option, I wish he was homo black.  My concern with Grandmaster is growth but these are good sized heifers that should contribute to growth from the cow side.  Regarding Lucky Break and Lucky Man...does one of them carry the spotting gene?
