    hyper cattle

    On average it's our angus cows that give us fits. The SimAngus calves out of them are most times very easy to handle. All cattle breeds have a few wild ones. All bulls don't work the same at every farm either. Switch bulls and see if that helps........good luck. Don't give up on Simmental's yet!

Finally have 30 head around and have already sold two cows I have enough genetics in the herd from. If this deal gets much higher I will sell the mature cow herd maybe the bred heifers and possibly...

    day 25 after AI replacement Heifer in standing heat.

    We have a heat detection system for our dairy cows. We are finding 25-28 heats are very common. Very few 21 or under. We have no heifers on the system but buddy of mine does and he gets them 25/26 all the time too. This year I am seeing alot of really long standing heats. One heifer was over 36...

    Heifer Breeding question

    I'll be danged. I had a perfect mating to him this spring untill I seen these two come out. We won't be using him on that heifer but will use him more on mature cows. Really love the calves.

    Heifer Breeding question

    We had 2 Maternally Yours calves this spring both out of 3/4 Simmental cows. 102 and 85 #s and way to stout for a heifer. Nice calves tho. I'd use NI or another PROVEN calving ease bull

    I have loved our Right Answer calves. Have one with her first calf. More body and better udder than her momma.

On other hand I've used Revolution, Worldwide, Limited Edition, and Victor 719T. Seen some calves out of Cheyenne at Select and he will...

    Best Baldy Bull?

    I have never seen him add guts. Fronts can get sloppy on the wrong cow too but still a good bull especially for the money!

    Best Baldy Bull?

    12 year old bull, not really good calving ease and Genex over produced sexed semen and has way to much inventory. We bred 3 heifers to 90% female last year. Best heifer calf is a Mo Better x Hairy x Sundance Kid. 2 heifer calves were 74 and 81#. Had In Dew Time that had bull by herself at 95#...
