    Spring time and the grill!

    It works, but there is a lot of waste; AKA EXPENSIVE!  I probably won't do it again.  http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/01/the-food-lab-dry-age-beef-at-home.html

    New Angus Ads (no need for crossbreeding)

    As an AAA member, I see the whole argument or sales pitch as just that.. a sales pitch.  CAB is nothing more than a marketing strategy to get commercial guys to buy more Angus bulls.  As a micro breeder it does not effect me.  Understand that this is an ad campaign, promotion.  Nothing more...

    Clipping Room Lighting

    I agree with ferkj.  Google lighting for a bathroom.  Most downward lighting will create shadows.  Consider some side lighting as well. Side lighting may be as simple as getting portable dock lights.

    BC LOOKOUT bulls we raised and your thoughts....

    Nice bull.  I like his heaviness of structure and thickness.

    late embryos

    My ET calves are routinely late, especially the bull calves.  Gestation lengths have been from 4 days early to 10 days late based in a 283 day gestation length, but mostly late.  What breed is the recipient and what breed is the embryo?

    opinions on easy calving bulls

    Any  Angus bull with > 7 CED, < 2.5 BW, and < 85 lbs actual birth weight is heifer acceptable in my book.  Try to get something with some WW and YW as well.  I would recommend Barstow Cash.

    Angus Bulls

    Take a look at C&C Priority, Dameron First Impression, EXAR Classen, or as others have suggested Style or Unbelievable.

    Feed Recommendation

    Good advice, but I would recommend that you get another steer or heifer and feed as a pair.

    Renting Bulls

    The commercial guys here pay $15-20/cow/month for each bull.    That will most likely increase this year.  About the same as to AI to a less expensive bull.  A promoted clubby type bull will run 3500 a month or more.  The renter is liable while the bull is on their property.  Care and feed can...

    Best place for cattle during a blizzard?

    Harley is right.  Get them out of the wind is the first priority.  They can deal with the snow.

    Angus Semen

    A lot of the bulls are still available and most are still desirable. The EXT is worth 100-150 a straw and will only go up. CA Future Direction, CAC and NHC, some are still asking 150 a straw. Precision, CAC and NHC, FD's sire, some are still asking 150 a straw. While not listed BT Crossover is...
