We've been having alot of trouble with A'Iing the last three years, been doing this 20 years now. We give all the shots, mineral, just added Multimen to shots also.  What the heck else is there to do?  Is this semen getting weakin down, all for the love of money?  Ready to buy a bull, at least I...

Had an 80 lb No Worries last Sunday, had to pull it out of a monoploy 2 heifer.  Could never get it too suck, tubed him for 3 days.  Had to put him down yesterday, he just gave up so sad!!  Had 1-67 out of 5 year old cow, big calve 100 lbs. Had another 1-67 weighed about 80.  Won't use him on...

Looking good!!

How is everyone liking these calves?  My Hairy bear didn't take to him, not happy we was wanting a shorthorn plus! has anyone had calves yet from him, and how are you liking him?

We have a BIM heifer we're showing this year and yes, she is a nervous heifer in the ring.  We had a Walks Alone steer that was nuts, good hamburger though!!  We have a Walks this way steer, that craps constantly when we work with him, and had a Walks this Way heifer that was nuts.  So, our son...

What is everyone's thought's on using it on heifers?  We used it last year, didn't have any trouble getting her bred with our show heifer.  But been hearing not to use it this year, it puts too much fat around tail heads, and does something to their teets.  Just asking, I don't want any...

Does anyone know who the ladies were at the Ohio Beef Expo  that hot press's the bling showcattle on shirts and coats?  Need phone number, thanks!!

Mainegirl,  Could you send me some pictures of the roan heifer, her rearend looks good but would like to see a side view also.  What can she be registered as also?  Thanks, Hess Farm

We have an April Walks this Way heifer, also two heifers born a couple weeks ago , to a simmi bull one is out of a Dr. Who and the other one is out of a Monoploy.  Don't know the ages that your looking for, but thought I'd let you know what i had.  Thanks, Hess Farm

I called a well know vet in Ohio, he said also not to use on breed heifers.  I found out the hard way.  Got her off of it, when she came back into heat this weekend!

Is Grow and Shine okay to use on pregnant heifers?  It says on the bottle not to give to pregnant women.  We have started her on this last week, we are rebreeding her tonight.  Can't find any info except on bottle.

We have some really good calves this year also, We be having a private treaty sale in August.  Hess Farm,western Ohio.  Go to clubcalves, too our site pictures will be up in June.

Thanks, we've done it all hopefully he'll take off sucking.  His mother will probably be hamburger, don't put up with cows that won't let their babies suck!

We've lost 3calves out of 11 cows.  Had a nice 1-80 bull calve, his mother was a Hollywood (Heatwave) that won't let him suck.  We can't get him to take the bottle or suck into the bucket,  but he runs around.  What a year!!!  We are blaming alot of this on the drought in the hay and pastures...

Sorry, my computer went nuts.  We are tubing him now and he is running around, nice bull calve 1-80.  Any suggestions?  We use to raise holestein bucket calves never had this kind of troubles.
