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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Looking for some recommendations.  I'd prefer the bull be homozygous black,  purebred, decent EPD's.  To be used on 30 open heifers that are 3/4 sim 1/4 angus.  Want to produce functional calves that can either be kept as replacements or perform in the feedlot. Right now I'm considering TNT Ever...

Cold weather isnt far away and sometimes my gloves, boots and coveralls just arent warm enough.  Any favorite brands of insulated boots, gloves and base layers that are worth the extra money? Especially anything thats easy to move in, not so bulky.

Looking for more info on these black white faced simmental bulls.  They are full brothers but in my opinion Motown has the better EPD profile, although it seems like Mo Better is more popular.  Im wondering about calving ease, how well calves grow and what kind of cow they work best on?  Also...

I have several open heifers that are high % Maine and a couple of heatwave daughters.  I'm looking for a Maine bull with calving ease and good maternal traits without giving up too much performance or frame.  Any thoughts are welcome!
