    Rookie of the year

    saw Simple Math last week at Genex in Mitchell SD. he is sound as a cat after being at Genex for probably a month already; picked up my 10 units of him; talked to the staff, they said he is still "iffy" as to collecting, not getting ahead on freezing compared with demand but he had froze that...

    Calf with a fever

    I agree with the others that an antibiotic is called for; we use Baytril injuection + sulfa boluses for baby calves and it seems to clear up most anything here. good luck.

    Is it possible to AI and ET the same recip????????

    this actually happened to us...... we CIDER about 60 head at a time and about 20 are receipts and the rest we A.I. on standing heat; there are just a very few solid black cows that have lost their tags but have distinguishing characteristics that set them apart, so figured we could keep track of...

    semen tank nitrogen level

    I have heard that as long as there is vapor when you open the lid, your semen is OK. I get nervous also when it starts getting low.

    Tiny Calf Born on Time

    I am not a vet but just common sense would tell you that many things can and do go wrong with cattle pregnancies as they do with people pregnancies.  one reason for severe growth retardation like this is a poorly functioning placenta that never gives the calf enough to grow and develop...

    Midland bull test-Area 51

    think the angus breed has to do something to counteract the negative publicity out right now with their genetic defect problems....I NEVER thought I would see the dethroning of the angus breed but the demand now for bulls here has come around to solid reds being more and more sought after...

    Miracle first calf

    calves can live quite a while even during the delivery if the cow is not laboring much; the contractions stop or become weak and unproductive....then the calf is not stressed; this is why if we have to wait for a vet to come out for an OB call, and he will be awhile,we try to keep the cow up and...

    So... just what is a decent price for a critter??

    I pay for everything I can with my Discover Card.  I get from from 1% to 5% back on everything....cash refund.  The thing you HAVE to do is to pay it up full each month or you are not gaining anything if you have to pay their high interest rate.  Also have never, ever gotten cash out of an ATM...

    Ahead of their time??

    I think the Simmi bull Black Max was way ahead of his time; he would be a good one to use now.
