We'd help in understanding what the woman is typing <cowboy> So you have cows out of a bull and a cleanup bull out of the same bull, and he is wanting to use the clean up bull on the resulting offspring and you are wanting to use the sire of the cows and the cleanup, the sire of the heifers or...

They come in a box of 25... One is probably pricing a bag the other individual.

Where do you get them, found an outfit in South Africa that has spiked rings but can't find a distributed for these online.....

What about all aboard, clean full sib to monopoly?

Ditto, the protocol we use for heifers  says to give them a shot

Xbar- don't know if that question was in general or too me, but we are flushing to a Limousin bull named RUNL STETSON......  He is not a trait leader in either, but has a leading spread between the two.    I am not one that thinks I am automatically going to breed heifers to the LOWEST BW...

It was mentioned that commercial guys keep large volumes of heifers and breed them to calving ease sires......  That there are many that have "enough" growth to fit in with the herd.... Couldn't agree more!  We are flushing a pure bred cow to a bull that would be considered calving ease.  He...

What's the soonest after calving you have used a cow for a recip?

Have a calf that is almost five weeks old......  Has had scours, or at least very runny stools since it was three or four days old.    Was defiantly scours at first, now she is just way loose almost white poop.    She has been three days in the vet with IV, we have done pills no milk and...

This is Izzy right at 1 month old.  I think she is coming along.  We are starting to get a little bit of green grass and she is starting to really grow.  Gonna make a good cow down the road.  If Paige gets to hang on to a halter with her it will be bonus!

Until we can keep  drugs and illegal people from crossing the border, I doubt we would be very efficient at keeping guns from coming across.....

I think that there will be plenty of cheap ish pairs at sale barns this late spring or summer.....  Cows get cheap if they haven't calves by the time field work starts a lot of times.....  Might be able to pick up cows that are due to calve in late may or June.....  We have been buying odd...

I know next year dad will induce stuff that is over due on his spring break.  We lost a calf because the heifer had it exactly at the wrong time of day, the first day he was back at school, the only day I was unable to check mid day, and the coldest day out of ten...  The first day he had to go...

Looks good to me willow, cows should not be fat!

A long time ago, dad read an article that talked about the position of the swirl in a cows face hair and disposition.  The theory was that embryonic development the area of the brain for temperament happened at about the same time that fur orientation was being determined and that the lower the...

They don't seem to mind my daughter who is there a lot....  We keep her close when babies are new.  My nephew was right behind me, I had carried him up to calf and set him down....  Gt him picked up right away.....  The next day at preschool, his class talked about mommies and babies.  He...

Baxter black has a poem that starts, " if Herefords were black and angus were red, would breeders of Herefords breed angus instead..."  Very fitting for this thread.

Picture does not do the color justice....  in person he almost looks striped with the black and chocolate color.  Cool looking color.  Again more frame then muscle.  Heavy milking mama will have him filled out in a few weeks.

This is him but it is not his mom behind him....  he kinda looks like a bag of bones to me.  A big frame for 78 pounds.  I think he is a calf that will really explode in the next month.    We also had a cool colored calf today.  Bull calf either a week late power to change or two weeks early...

Tight line breeding is pretty common in other species......    As long  there are no TH or PHA concerns I would not be worried.....  If the cow is a good one it may turn into something......  I know dad had an old herd bull back in the 80's that bred maternal sibs, and probably a few...
