Im trying to produce some quality replacements that can be registered and possibly be bred back clubby down the road. I would just like some advice on what type of cows these bulls match up well with. I have mostly com angus cows but a few have some clubby background. Bulls I have and will be...

Early march I heifer had a stillborn calf at midnight, next afternoon a heifer had a calf in the yard that got stepped on and died, and that evening a heifer that delivered a live calf but she has mastitis and is only milking out of two quaters. Rough start, but my cows that are AI-ed starting...

I searched this topic but was wondering how common a false heat is during pregnancy?  We combined cows from 3 pastures last week on Thursday and yesterday I had two of the better cows (typical) seem to be in heat. They both came from the same pasture. Two of the bulls were following them around...

I have a couple nice late calves that weren't born til  mid June and will be too young for most fairs here in the midwest and was wondering if they fit for any shows and if so what part of the country? Also, how would you go about selling to them, ex. find a trader in that area or ???  Thanks

Would love to hear some thoughts on these calves? Good/Bad. 

Fat butt/ angus bull calf, two weeks old and I have been impressed with him since he was born but would really like to see what others think good and bad?  In the first pic he is the front calf the one behind is a Sunseeker.

I have a cow that just calved and she is accepting calf or at least is somewhat protective of calf when you get in the pen but she keeps head bunting calf when it gets up. She isn't banging him into the gates or anything but just keeps knocking him down. I have just let her be for now in hopes...

So I have searched a lot of old posts and read quite a bit on gestation lengths and inducing cows.  I found one old post that I thought was interesting so I decided I would see what peoples expeiriences this year are as far as gestation variations among breeds.  I am not overly concerned yet...

I have searched this topic and read a lot of older posts but would like some thoughts on a low bw angus bull to use on heifers. I was thinking about possibly using the same bull on some cows to try to get replacements. I go through ABS and a lot of the bulls I have read on the posts, they don't...

I am buying a semen tank from my uncle and he has some heat wave clone semen left. I am not sure what clones yet but I was just wondering what the goin rate is for the clone semen. I checked lautners website and see only about 5 clones listed out of the 15 or so there is. Most are at $30/unit...

Here’s T-Magic a bull I raised out of Carnac and my best Angus/Simm cow. He is in his working clothes and always has been. Thought I got a decent pic of him this morning so I wanted to get some SP expert opinions and thoughts on him. He has lost some weight and condition from running with the...

I don't have time or any family members old enough to be in 4-H so I am selling my heifer.  I would really like to have her shown as she should make a great breeding or market heifer. She will make a great cow someday too.  I am planning to halter break her and get her clipped up in the next few...

I have around 10 - 15 heifers that I can't keep due to facilities. They would all make good replacements for someone or good starting group for someone wanting to get into cattle.  All heifers were born in April or early May.  Sires include a Sunseeker/Angus son, Dr. Who/Angus Son, and Dream...

I just wanted to see if there are any county fairs out there that do a share-a-beef program, where a farmer will donate/loan a steer to a kid whose is responsible for raising and caring for the animal throughout the year and then there is a special class for those calves at the fair as well as...

I have some spring heifers for sale. They are all on pasture and no creep as of now. I  plan to halter and clip them later in the summer. I have a sunseeker/WMW who was born Feb 26th and will make a good show prospect and cow. She is long-fronted, thick, and good-hair. I am asking $3,000 or obo...

I just wanted to start a post and say Kudos to SteerPlanet!! (clapping)  I showed all through 4-H but never was into cattle a whole lot like many our youth in todays society due to athletics, work, and other commitements. Now that I am married with a child and have gotten more cattle than I had...

I searched old posts and couldn't find much. I used the 5 day synch and TAI this year. I am hoping for good success, had a lot in heat and my ABS guy who does the AI-ing said that he has been having good success with it. However, I was just wondering if by using the cidr's if it can mess up the...

I have a cow that has a really old brand that used to get rubbed raw and scab over. Now she the area is puffed out and infected. Does anyone have advice what to treat it with.

Opinions welcome. This heifer is out of my sunseeker/angus herdbull. I was just wondering what people think. She is also for sale along with a real nice Sunseeker/WMW heifer I have.I will post other pix of a couple other heifers I for sale when I get them.  I was just wondering what people...

I was just wondering if anyone has cows in production out of fat butt or upgrade.  My cows are mostly angus with some simm/angus and would like to retain some heifers.  I have some sunseekers on the ground and they should make pretty good clubby cows and I am also using him and walks alone this...
