    Need help in how to classify this guy

    Like I said previously the cattle that are actually shorthorn vs the steers that are in the shorthorn breed in Tx aren't the same pattern. They're small headed compact clubbed up really hard things I just feel like although the steer looks shorthorn by the book in my opinion he is more "out of...

    ET pregnancy rates

    Our results are no where near as expansive or large of a sample size as mentioned above but we shoot for 55% our first 2 years we were a solid 20% across the board. I left my job and have been babysitting recips full time for the last couple rounds and we have gone right at 63% in that time...

    Need help in how to classify this guy

    I don't think that calf is classing shorthorn unless it's a show you class yourself- and even in that case I don't think his body style will fit the class well enough to permit him to go high. If I was classing him by myself for a jackpot show he would show simmental, if I had to run him to a...

    Implant for frame growth

    It's a dairy implant that can't be used without labeling the product that the animal has been given it. It's used to enhance milk production in dairy cattle and there is nowhere near the research done that says it will do anywhere near as satisfactory results as implants designed to increase...

    Implant for frame growth

    prob not a good idea to knowingly recommend an off label use of a hormone product designed to increase milk in dairy cattle. Coupled with the fact that there is absolutely zero proof that administering rbst will do anything to change the genetic limitations of frame score, if you have any...

    cidr question or need to understand them

    We have started a cidr protocol on cattle at every stage and consistently get and shoot for 70+% of those to have good heats regardless of whether they're at in their cycles previously

    Lutalyse question

    It won't bring one out of anestrous they need to be cycling back in order for it to work, using a protocol with a cidr could jump her into estrus a little quicker but the estrumate or lut in theory shouldn't do you any good since you haven't observed heat on her to confirm she's cycling

    Lutalyse question

    In a hypothetical 2 shot scenario you'd give a shot... see heat 72 hours later and 11 days after the first shot you'd give a second shot and have another heat 72 hours later so your heats would be 14 days apart but your distance from "heat to second shot" would be 8 days If you had a natural...

    New to industry

    Or just try to push her to take a step, if that doesn't work twist her tail a little and let off the halter (do not break her tail) when she steps so she associates stepping with pressure releasing off her head Some will say drag her or beat on her or this or that- don't do that because you'll...

    How to make a heifers flank deeper

    Before this gets too deep you do know you want those Cattle's bellies to appear "big barreled", Right? We are not far from you guys geographically so I have an idea of what you can and can't feed some of the Yankees have access to different products they'd rather use Cottonseed hulls, purina...

    Ft Worth steer show

      I would be EXTREMELY surprised if Ft. Worth changed their format any, they caught enough flack over updating the barns (even though they redid them EXTREMELY well) that changing the show would be totally out of the question. Speaking of that- what's the status there I think everyone was...

    Ft Worth steer show

    From my perspective in the stands it was more likely to be parents than fitters... few fitters stand around the bar at the ring side- too expensive they're back at the coolers. It's parents and Breeders at the beer stand and they'd be there regardless if it's slick or fit Slick blow and go or...

    Ft Worth steer show

    McIntyre family from Brazoria county raised him and Floyd sold him. I asked the family that raised him about his breeding and he's out of their registered purebred simmy bull and a crossbred American x cow No clubby genetics in him to be listed I specifically asked about that Hope that helps

    The bull "NO APOLOGIES"

    They're damn good feeding cattle plenty of look and style without looking extreme and clubbed up He seems to add guts and functionality may protect him on frame size (don't use him on a pud/toad cow) Champion paint steer in Tx at battle of the cattle in July (biggest prospect shows in Tx)...
