    Lut or estrumate

    I always have thought Estrumate was better than Lut.  I am now trying Estroplan which is much cheaper any thoughts on it verses Estromate supposed to be the same?

    The Answer Bull

I leased him as a long yearling and have fall calves on the ground now, I had one at the North American on the side of a Senior Yearling Chi.  I sold most of the heifers he bred  and the reports have been excellent.  I ...

    What to flush to?

    I would suggest BR Midland, I have a dozen or so cows and they are the best.  Used him again last year and you can pick out the hiefer calves again against the Paydays( worry about maternal calving ease), Bismarks(need to calve a few). and Final Answer( need to calve a few).  The Midlands will...

    "Good" Angus Bulls

    I would not use Payday as he as a CED of 4, 7 is heifer acceptable and I had some monsters out of him this fall.  My alltime favorite is BR Midland easy calving, great mothers, and show appeal.

    Question on amount of sedative to give heifer

    We use thorazine and everyone gets a little before show time.  Calves that are real gentle get a 1/2 cc to Ext X Built Right gets 3/4 rectally.  When one has had a early heat from being on the road a cc.  Seriously a 80 lb kid and a 800 lb hiefer lets be safe.  We work with our calves alot and...

    What to flush our donor to?

    I am going to use sexed Fat Butt 5ml  semen on my baldy Chi hiefer. she is a Senior Yearling Hairy Bear with an AWESOME Answer hiefer calf.  They are going to be in Louisville, drop by our stalls and let my son hone his salesmanship skills selling egg packages.  Sexed semen is the key at our farm.
