    Lethargic calf

    If you can call a vet preferably.  We have had to like that this spring that couldnt stand up without us holding them up and our vet told us to do this and it was amazing the turn around on these calves from acting like they wouldnt make it through the night and an hour or two later they could...

    Wanted - used Heatwatch system

    F5CHASER- I am pretty sure you have the Heatwatch 1.  We had the Heatwatch 1 and then they upgraded ours to the Heatwatch 2.  The main difference is the buffer that connects to your computer via the serial port is wireless to the antenna and receiver mounted outside on the Heatwatch 2 system. ...

    How soon to breed post-flush

    I am glad to hear others thoughts and opinions. We are only in our 3rd year of heavy E.T. work and we are going on the recommendations of our embryologist we are fortunate to have as he has been very helpful. We have been relying on his experience in getting advice since we are still getting our...

    How soon to breed post-flush

    We breed the very next heat and that is what our embryologist told us.  We have stuck them every time on the next heat after embryo recovery which is about 5 days, hope this doesnt jinx the one that will cycle back this weekend.

    Another question

    They say to alternate so that the pest do not build up resistance to the wormer so you are supposed to use different families of wormers you can look it up on the labels of the wormers. The form really doesnt matter which one its just what you prefer, we try to inject it cause then we know its...

    New ABS SM bull Rendition

    Ok understand about the socks I appreciate the info. I was picturing like an inch or so band of white.  The beef with socks is that we personally as an operation prefer no white except on face and the occasionaly little bit on the belly.  We are not in the business of sellin show steers and...

    New ABS SM bull Rendition

    I am sure glad i saw this post. I had no clue he had white socks and will never use him for that fact.  This is just my opinion but it is a pretty unethical deal to paint over white socks on a bull just to sell semen you might as well dye a red one black to sell more semen on him to, this is...

    Star Power
