    Building New Barn and Pens

    I worked In one years ago it was on 10 ft spacing,  every fence was a gate,  you had an alley going east and west or north and south and the alley could move from center to right to left,  just changing the gates,  every gate swung 360 degrees.  We worked sales, calves heifers, broke show...

    slipping eggs

    Would think you need to watch at 14 days or so,  the eggs were put in about 7 days after heat so that is the first hurdle.  Then again around day 35 after putting them in,  the second heat window.  Make those two and I'd be pretty confident.

    Did I screw up a breeding?

    Don't think I would call her Aborted just yet.  Seen it happen before, pregnancy held on.

    Going AI rates?

    If it's handy, 20 a head is about in line.  Don't get greedy,  the AI gods get mad and you don't breed 50 percent and no mas travho.  ( that means WORK)  The AI gods smile and you have a job to count on.

    American people!! Need some advice from fellow American people

    Brahman cattle need to be what most people would call fat to get along in the show ring.  These cattle feed different than English or continental breeds.  You turn her out for say 3 weeks to get her exposed and that's 6 weeks you lost in the feeding process.  Top that off with puberty not...

    Double Dose of Prostoglandin

    I'm noticing you give Multiple doses of either to account for the eggs on the ovary being not all of the exact same stage of development,  not because of more drug being more effective.

    Double Dose of Prostoglandin

    I have noticed that The guys doing the most successful work are using a heck of a lot less fsh than the " normal" dosage. The people I work with are a lot pickier with timing, technique, and freshness of drugs than the attitude if x is good then xxxx is 4 times better.

    who is the best red angus bull

    Maybe as good a heifer I have seen was a Sakic, this b**** would hurt you. Several lean that way.  There are some good bulls out there but this idea that if I want a black pedigree I will breed blacks is a bit put of focus I think.  The red gene pool is shallower than a 16 year old blondes...

    Aborting Pregnancy

    If you cAn wait 10 days, lut and  they will cycle again and breeding them is better than 50/50 of getting them bred.  The lut won't wrk unless you a CL.  The dex will knock one, and you will see her cycle pretty much on schedule.

    New barn

    Worked in one years ago,  every pen was 4 gates, all had a 360 degree hinge,  you could make an alley any way on any row.  Liked calving in it,  you could throw one behind a gate, one rope and a halter and do whatever you wanted.

    Testing stock wells

    What made you decide you needed testing?  Cows not doing well?  Not breeding? Big question,  does the water taste bad?  Iron and sulfur will screw up conception if the mineral program ain't right.  You can figure out both by drinking it.  I'm just a broke cowboy that doesn't care to p*** of...

    Angus overhaul

    An association job is just about as cushy a job that exists.  Travel, meals,  cows, see the country,  as long as my check was good,  do your job, and keep your mouth shut.
