We have used the Fluid Film many times and it has worked pretty good for us, we tried a goat once but the only one in the barn that didn't get ringworm was the one that cuddled up with the goat every night. I've recently heard another solution we might try. Vasoline heated in microwave and mixed...

Here is a pic of our Gucci steer out of an I-80 x Monopoly, sold him as a county fair steer a couple weeks ago.

The Irishman x Monopoly steer from my earlier post was at a show with us this weekend. he looks really good, won his class of AOB steers. I would call him moderate framed probably about a 5.5 to 6 where his momma is a strong 7. He was 1190# and well muscled, I would say he should finish out...

Our I-80 heifer calved yesterday morning ( 2 days after due date) with a 78# Gucci bull calf born unassisted. From the time she started labor till she was licking it off was about 1/2 hr. Calf was very vigorous and up nursing quickly. With the 2 Gucci calves we've had this week out of first...

Had one last year that was this way after keeping them in a 12 x 12 pen with hobbles on heifer for 2 weeks she finally decided to be a mom and weaned off the biggest calf in the herd.

I have an I-80 out of a Monopoly cow due Monday with a Gucci calf (calf will be 3/4 Maine),  I will let you know how that works.

The way I look at it is that I know what my kids can or can't handle. I could be like the tractor or donkey, but that doesn't help the kids either. If I have one that I don't think the kids can handle I put it on the donkey for a day or two and that is usually all it takes and the kids take it...

I got mine off Breeders World online auction last year. Cattle Visions has it listed for $50/straw, but I haven't tried to order any to see if they actually have any. I'm thinking that either there is not a lot out there or somebody didn't do their homework after seeing the price his semen went...

I've talked with the breeder Chad from Millpond Shorthorns and Charlie from Bennett Shorthorns as well as attending the Bennett sale last June. I was extremely impressed with all the Exile calves. My kids really liked a couple of the heifers but they were out of their price range. I don't think...
