Knabe, extra long hair is desirable to me for more insulation. Montana State did a study and showed that you could cut winter costs by a quarter if you had one more inch of hair. Thats powerful for people living in cooler country.

how much was he xbar?

I like the looks of these cattle I just wanted to know if anyone knew how they calved, docility, milk, those kinds of things.

There should be enough out there now, what is everyones opinions?

He lacks truly good rib shape and he is high in his loin

More prostaglandin is necessary in high temp situations as it is metabolized through the lungs.

Don't do it, the reaction to the vaccine will suck that extra bit of energy that she needed to show a good heat and then have a positive environment for breeding. The only time a person could try it is with the 14 day that puts you out a month from breeding.

Looking big boned and stout. Very nice

Lots of good points in terms of cows fitting every management system. Vc broadens the discussion from cow size to more important and many times covered on here of cow type. Big or small we need cattle that are efficient. For example the emblazon cattle make wonderful looking females, they are...

Different breeds have been made simply from crossing a buck from breed a to ewe of breed b equals one breed and then buck b to ewe a for an entirely different breed. I'm not a geneticist but I'm going to go out on a limb and say there must be something to it. In regards to what XBAR is saying...

Use Loomix, I like VitaFerm but you must realize that it is a good mineral with amaferm in it and that is why it is so effective. You can get the same results with other products if they are used correctly. In fact you can mix the amaferm into the liquid at the trough if you would like, or there...

Prayers for recovery and peace for your family.

As far as red angus goes I would look at red global trust 21t, cbar contour, and for females feddes big sky. I like a lot of the angus suggestions already but I might add a bull we a.i. to last year and calves are coming now. He is a northern improvement son.

You are better off to make any diet changes 3 weeks plus before breeding. If you can't your plan sounds good but can you make them eat it? Again it would be ideal to go 3 weeks after the change but really doubt you can get them to eat it/want to feed that much longer. Depending on how washy the...

Different donors react to the hormone treatment in different ways. I worked as an E.T. technician for awhile and in that case we would throttle back the amount of F.S.H. being given and that usually helped. There are also a lot of outside factors that could be messing with conception rates. In...

What's out there for commercially driven Maine genetics, does anyone feed out Maine genetics on the rail and get premiums? Thoughts on females? Maine angus?

Does anyone have daughters seen daughters heard of daughters and what their udder looks like and more notably how much milk they have? In a few months we will have 50+ daughters out of a son of his having their first calves. I don't really believe in milk epd as a lot of the hoodoo influence we...

I see what you are saying Xbar but just to clarify that was in Jamaica and not on US soil...... trevorgreycattleco....I think everyone has to question the system, really you should question everything in your life as it just pushes you to become stronger or just change your beliefs. I do not...

trevorgreycattleco- I think what you are doing is awesome, we need diverse products in the marketplace to satisfy different needs. My only offense to this is most of the time it is sold as better than conventional beef which is poison. It's simply not true and is bad for the entire industry to...

There is merit to parts of it but some of it is just plain stupid. Case in point: Implanted beef is bad for you...false. 1 lb of implanted beef has 11 ng of estrogen compared to 8 ng of estrogen in a non implanted steer. A bull or intact heifer is going to put you in that 100+ ng of estrogen per...
