when I was at the family dairy the calves got colostrum always. This was a 600 cow Dutch dairy. BTW-he went bankrupt after a couple of years. ::) Most of the calves we got from other dairies were only 2 days old. It was an experience that I never want to do again. Was just too many problems. Red

I'm sorry if I offended you but we raised over 150 newborn dairy calves that we know didn't have any colostrum at times.We had troubles from day one. I also came from a dairy background & worked on a large dairy (600 cows) & saw first hand some of the issues. I've been there when calf is pulled ...

looks like mine has been stolen!

it depends on how soon she comes in heat after calving. I had one that came in heat 30 days out. First time she didn't take to AI'ing. We've never had much trouble catching them on 1st heat otherwise. Red

I question bulls that have incomplete EPD's or none at all. As far as defects, look at how many the human race has. A while back being left handed was considered a defect! lefty Red

use a blow drier first thing if you catch it quick enough. Red

wouldn't use a calf from a dairy. Most lack colostrum from the start & you might bring in problems you don't want. Check w/ local beef producers in your area. Jill could send you one of hers! Red

Brittney- nothing you did wrong. Looks like a problem that anyone there would have had. So sorry that it happened on your watch! Red

he has a daughter in college & another one that is probably in high school. Both from a previous marriage. They adopted a little boy & then his wife became pregnant w/ their daughter. I like his radio show. He is very passionate about his topics. Very conservative. Only get TV show when in...

not sure why but topic got hijacked a little. I think Juli was speaking of more of bulls that are promoted as easy calving & then get complaints from breeders that their cow had a big one. People just don't take into count the cow's part as well as environmental situation. No breed is everything...

Hard Core Gigolo Joe Money Man Dirty Harry ( I said we can use him on one of our cows) possibly Gizmo again One I like the calves from a bull I tend to repeat. Red

aren't triplets uncommon even by natural means? Wow OH B, I bet they were speechless! Red

need to settle a dispute. I have a Hardcore x Iceman x Foreplay heifer that will be bred this spring. Hubby & nephew are set on Dirty Harry. I want gigolo Joe. Has anyone used Harry on 1st calf heifers? If so how did it work out? I see he has no EPD's so can't compare that. Since out of Ali is...

I look at how many pedigrees have double or triple stacks of Draft Pick as well as Cunia. I think we just create problems for future generations. Red

just got mine today. I'll have the hubby take a picture tonight! Red
