Does anyone know how horned genetics travel, if they are recessive or jut pop up randomly? I'm asking  because we used WS A Step Up in a flush and have 2 calves (both sexes) that have horns. I looked back at the pedigrees (the cow is also PB Sim) and found a few shot of horns on both the sire...

I have had a little experience with embryo transfer both from my studies at college and past experience. From what I know the size of the calf is determined by both genetics and the maternal environment. Studies have shown that the calf will develop and grow to the space that is has available in...

My first simmental heifer I ever had always begins to look like she is going to calve any minute about 3 months before her due date. Every year I start to think she will have twins but she ends up having one large calf, and she is usually 5 to 10 days late before she calves. By the time she gets...

The  calves are about 5 and a half months old and their mommas are high milking recips. I am using the quietwean system to wean on March 10th (based on the farmers almanac best days) and would like to give them opportunity to eat when they can't  get milk. The calves haven't even stuck their...

I am trying to get a small group of  calves started on creep feed but they don't seem to care about it at all. The ration is off of Purina's Grand 4-T-Fyer Which includes corn, 4-T-Fyer, soybean oil, molasses, oats and cottonseed hulls. Our creep feeder is small with maybe a 4x5 ft cage. The...

Mr HOC Broker is one of the best bulls on the market in my opinion. I would highly recommend him, just based on my personal  experience. I think that bandwagon is going to produce some really showy calves. Also, Pays to Believe, Grandmaster, Chopper, and Combustible would be good ones to look at...

I get mine at Lowe's every year.

I can't attach the photo, sorry

I tried it after talking with a lowline breeder who always had great hair and got good results. Sheared my heifer that didn't ever have a lot of hair after my state fair. In just 3 months she had a thick coat of hair for the American Royal. Im sold on it.

I bought some semen from Steppingstone genetics and flushed a sim donor cow last year. Got 2 calves so far, an all black heifer that is thick and sound, and a bull calf that is super deep and thick! Really happy with  him so far. He is also available through Cattle Visions now.

Ever thought of using lowline or mini herford? Your guaranteed a small calf (less than 65 lbs) and the an easier option for your heifer. We started breeding all of our heifers to them, including future donors! You can register the halfblood lowlines and they are gaining popularity with the new...

I'm curious of how it works or what it is. Is it powder and adhesive like leg builder or feed supplement?
