I will contact Jason and get on this, it should allow you but is not for some reason. It is not full but thinks it is because it has a max setting of 20 teams and we had 20 teams last year and invited them all back this year but only 7 of the teams from last year have signed back up. So we are...

You know football? Prove it! Join Steer Planet fantasy football 2012-2013 season NOW. I and Jason along with several teams from last year are already signed up. There is only 13 spots left to make 20 teams total. The online draft is set through yahoo.com on Monday September 3rd 2012 at 10PM...

I agree, put a metal ring in her nose that has the metal spikes attached. She will still be able to graze and eat with out a problem and it will not come out. I don't like the screw down type of nose rings because some always find a way to work them loose and get them out. Put the permanent ring...

Agree with DL all the way. Don't look for a specific breed. Find a bum calf that you can bottle feed and that calf will be like a puppy dog in no time. If it is too late to find any bum calves, try and find a bottle fed calf like DL said. The calf will then be use to people and will help your...

I hope so, that bull has me more excited than I can ever remember. Even more excited than I was as a kid being a night before Christmas. I want to see this calf! That bull was very impressive in Denver as how thick he was. Then coming from a PB Shorthorn bull, I just could not get over how thick...

I think it is a mystery, been looking myself. I really liked him in Denver this past January, have a PB shorthorn cow bred to him now but not due till April 2013.

I have been looking for some time for some PP semen, I knew about bull barn and SEK having it for the $200 a straw. I have a really nice Full Throttle cow that is one of my better club calf producers that I have been wanting to flush to PP and hope for all heifers (I know that will not happen...

I have mixed emotions on weaning early. I did wean 5 calves this year at only 14 weeks just over 3 months. They were put on a heavy dose of creep and hay and all are doing well. So you can do it but your going to be spending more in creep than you would have too with leaving them on their...

My picks go 3-2-4-1. I agree with the red one being trashy in her neck. #3 being a high BW would not concern me much as I would use an easy calving Angus bull for her 1st calf and go from there. Just cause she was a high BW does not mean she is going to have difficulty calving. If she has a wide...

Most of the non irrigated pastures are dead here, most days been in mid 90's which I know is not as hot as you guys have been but is hot to us. Can't wait till Saturday as Sat's high will only be 79 from what they are saying even though back to the mid 90's on Sunday. Oh well, I will take a 1...

OHHHHHH How true that statement is Freddy. But you better watch out, some of these bull owners and friends of bull owners will try to hang you for that comment cause it is NEVER the semen quality that causes poor conception rates, LOL.

From what I have been told by my vet on a commercial heifer calf we had. Will not repair or heal like humans that have been surgically repaired and will always limp as he will favor that leg not wanting to put weight on it. We were going to originally keep the heifer as we wanted to keep her as...

Anyone with a little time can get good with photoshop. My wife is an amateur photographer and I say that lightly as I have seen her take better photos than alot of professionals. Her friend is a professional photographer and has showed her how to use photoshop even though we prefer lightroom...

I have been into the BBQ thing for awhile but I have never competed in competition. I am looking to get into competition in the Rocky Mountain Region. I have read many books in BBQ and eat alot of BBQ as it is my favorite even though Wyoming lacks in it, Missouri where I came from did not, so I...

For the nearly 2 years I have been a member, I have seen the good and the bad. I can only think how it was back in 2007 when it was formed, raised cattle back then and had internet access but did not know anything about SP back then. For the valuable people such as Frosty, cowboy, DL...

I have done alot of stuff over the years to increase my AI conception rates and have been running between 70 and 80% the past 2 years. Yes I AI'd only 10 but all 10 were for club calves and clubby semen used. The semen was handled the same on all 10 and were all AI'd by the ABS tech that has...

Great looking cow, how does she milk for you? Every Foreplay that I have seen I have liked. I tried to buy a smoked felony X foreplay heifer this summer from a guy but did not have the money that he wanted for her. She was an awesome heifer.

No problem Jason, I pulled it just to keep the problems down, no harm intended. Knabe I wish I could tell you. All I know is I ordered the semen not thinking anything about it, will buy with more caution from now on.

That makes alot of sense and I believe that, but I would say if ABS does not collect semen they do a great job of monitoring quality of the semen they sell. You would hope that the bull's owner would stop using collection facilities that don't have as good of concentration of living cells. I...

I know this might be a touchy subject but is an honest thread or poll. The bottom line is many people pay are paying good money (Even though that don't bother me the most, pushing the cow back 3 weeks bothers me more) for semen that is subquality. I suspected ABS collected there own as I have...
