I also have some Sam 54 semen in amps. He sired some good char cows in days past.

This is just a dumb observation, and it does not always work, but if you have noticed, the cow often licks the calfs rear as it sucks. I like to put the nipple in the calf mouth and then stroke the calf around and under it's tail. This seems to trigger a nursing response. If it is working, the...

I was told by a reliable source that the SH bull Rodeo Drive was bred up from Stein. True?

I have a comment on the Select Sires bull Hairy. Please note that I am not trying to trash the bull, it is only our experience. We used CIDRs and 10 units of Hairy. We settled 3 cows. This might be our fault, but we also settled 7 of 10 from Aftershock, and 3 of 4 from Open Bar. Please draw your...

Well folks, I am sure sorry that this post went amok. I am going to order some Macho semen even though he sires females with questionable udders (lol). OH breeder, I want to thank you for your information, and for your mature handling of a rather tense situation. I respect your attempt at being...

Last Sat. at the local barn they had 7 or 8 calves. Sold from 185 to 245 dollars each. We are in SW Iowa.

Club King is not an ABS bull, and I really can't say from the picture that I like his front end. As for being later maturing, I am not sure I see that as a real problem. Ali's are what I consider later maturing, and from what I have seen they develop well. If it takes as much as a year, that is...

We need to buy some semen from a very helpful ABS rep. What Simmy bull would you all recommend from their line up ? Macho, Ever Ready, Goldmine, Ollie, Superior, Ranch Hand, or any other ABS Simmy. Our cows are commercial Angus, and we want some Simmy females that have the potential to raise a...

Keep in mind that the following is only my thoughts, but I think eith timed AI, the quality of the semen is very important. In my neighbors small group of CIDR cows, we settled 4 of 5 with Ground Zero, 4 of 5 with Hairy, and 1 of 7 with Johnny Walker Red. In another herd, we settled nearly 100...

I am well over 21 years of age.  I bought some semen from the Select Sires bull Hairy because I liked his calves at Wagonhammer. Bred some cows due with 2nd and 3rd calves. Pulled 2 monster heifers, well over 125 pounds and dead.  Can I, or should I get my semen money back ?

I am just a little confused, as always, but I think you may have sickle hocked and cow hocked mixed up. I think you would more likely see toes that don't point forward on a cow hocked animal as opposed to a sickle hocked one. Nearly all of the early chis were sickle hocked, and we have over...

My list would likely include bulls such as Open Bar( Barb Ohlrich says his daughters will work), Maine Break, Witch Doctor, Chill Factor,and Ali.These are not all, and possibly not the very best, but would sure be on my list.

Thank you Iowann. My question was not how to get a blue roan, or what bull to use, it was more to find out if Sin City would kill some rather small black cows. I think you answered that. Anyone have any experience with calving Ace Of Diamonds ?

Still want to produce some good blue roans, will it work to use Sin City on some small framed black cows ? Any calving problems to be expected ?

Wrong. Stands Alone, Putz,  Walks Alone, Rogers.

I am not at all sure, but I believe that this Cowpower bull is the bul Lautner purchased from Larry Anderson. I believe that Larry leased the bull out for a couple of years, and that he sired some excellent females. If this is him, Larry would sure give it to you straight. Call him.

We have 5 straws of Cowboy Cut. Bought before pha test, and didn't work for us any way.

Just saw on the news this morning that wolves ended the life of a woman jogger in Alaska. I would rather they stuck to moose. Maybe PETA can help.

Interesting question. At first I didn't feel that I had enough information on the cows to answer the question, but I'll give it a shot. When you say clubby cows, I assume that at least some of them are carriers. Secondly I assume that many of them contain Who or Heat in their pedigrees. Those...
