Has anyone on here used Genex Sexed semen? I was looking at BC Lookout for heifers and a friend told me they had sexed semen on him and it is a reasonable price. What was your conception/pregnancy rates with it? Was it the same size straws or do you need a different AI gun and sleeves for it?

Thanks for the replies. I have several Salute daughters to breed that are nice but they definitely have some bigger Birthweight genetics in them. That is why I was looking for something a little smaller BW than Ace of Diamonds. I might use AOD on other cows though.

I am looking to make purebred shorthorn steers. Do I go for the old standby's carriers as Double Vision and the like or what new clean bulls are working good? I like Jake's Proud Jazz but I need a little more growth than that since my cows aren't great in the growth department. I was looking at...

stone, for sure

I would say not a virgin heifer or a first calf heifer. I would say after that any cow should do age wise until she starts to show her age. Some start to slow down sooner than others. Some might be getting worn out by 7 and some might be fine until 12. If you get too picky though you won't have any.

Or people believe the original is better because they only flush to the original that way he gets the best cows while the clones get the lesser cows. I would also say that unless you have about 20 calves from the original and 20 calves from the clone all out of the same cow you will not have...

For these kind of reasons I wonder if a hoof trimming chute tip table would work good. It has a headgate and once you get things positioned right you could put her on her side. Not saying it would be cost efficient but sure is an idea. Our calving pen is a Hiqual and the back corner you refer to...

We are also looking at doing an online sale. Are there really any disadvantages other than commission? I would really think most people have internet now that it shouldn't be a problem.

Well being from Wisconsin I better say Bob May and his crew. They plain just get it done. I like how fresh and chiseled a good steer of their's looks when it hits the ring.

I bought one this last fall that the guy guaranteed and had used before himself for $800. She works good.

I am looking at using GCC Old School for calving ease on my heifers. Would this be a good choice if I am looking for a bull that is calving ease, clubby, and the calves will grow well? His EPD's are higher for growth than other angus bulls like him. How would you compare his calves to Northern...

So how do you slick one out right? I live up north and will take having a hairy one anytime over having to slick one out. O0

What do you guys use for video editing software? I have a PC even though I here that Apple programs are usually better for graphics and video. I have done some work with Vegas before for audio (Radio class in college) but I don't know if there was something similar that does video. (JBH?)

Thanks everyone who replied. The T1i and T2i both do hidef video as well. I missed out on a deal at bestbuy a couple of weeks ago where they had the t1i, a standard lens, and a canon 55-300 mm telephoto lens. At that price the big lens was only another $100 bucks over the camera and standard...

We are looking to get serious taking our own calf pictures for sales this year. We were looking at getting the Canon T1i or the new T2i. Does anyone have some tips for what camera or what to look for in a camera for taking good cattle pictures?

That last figure I heard 2 years ago was around 18,000 for a clone. I believe that was for Trans Ova and they give 500 off each additional clone after the first. Don't quote me on that.

I would call Matt and get an order in ASAP. Don't go through a distributor if you are looking for a bull that is in short supply. You will also get the real story on what is going on rather than what the distributors will tell you so you will buy some other semen on another bull. Not saying all...
