Absolutely agree.  Some people can get owly with me when they are not happy with their conception rates.  I never really do know forsure if the cattle were in heat.  I just have to believe the producer.  The only thing that gives me the slightest idea is if their backend looks like it has been...

Thank You for all of your help Juli.  Fortunately I am an AI tech for others, and I do know about the straws being sized differently, and the 90% chance of having all females.  I am actually interested in some female-sexed Gus semen.  I see is is quite costly per straw, but if I am serious about...

Yes there is between 1 million and 10 million cells per straw.  But all it takes is ONE!! So how many of you have bred cows to it, and what were your results like.

I am just wondering what everyone seems to be getting for conception rates when they use sexed semen.  I know my company (Genex) suggests you will get optimum results when used on yearling heifers.  Does anybody do a lot of flushing with the sexed product?  What are your results?  What are...

I am also looking for a Shorty bull to breed to my RA cows.  The youngest is a second calver.  They are almost all phenotypically different....so much for raising consistent cattle....but I would like to produce clubby Mama cows out of this mating.  I would like to maintain their structure, and...

Yeah I wouldn't be too eager to make business deals with someone who cannot write proper sentences either!

It really pisses some people off when something bad happens and I can turn it right around and make a positive from it.  ABSOLUTELY!  I regret not grabbing more people by the shoulders and shaking them....telling them to loosen up and live already.  Every minute you spend unhappy, and mopey...

That red and white calf is a SOLID looking steer.  What is he?  How much did he weigh there? Congrats too!  (clapping)

I see a lot of that as well.  Dont even know if a lot of the men have wives to begin with, because you never hear about them in the first place.  Then it seems the year after you finally discover they indeed did have ladies at home, they have a new lady on their arm at the show.  Some days I...

what program are you using zach?

Hows this?

http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1AR0918&lang=EN Here is a photo of a Fully Loaded son that Genex has available.  Above is the link where you can find a photo of his dam and more info on him. I personally did not like Fully Loaded at all.  Stalled across the alley from...

Megapixels is a big "selling feature".  I am a pro and shoot with a 10 MP camera.  Unless you are making life-size posters of the cattle then you will be good with the D40!  The electronics people have somehow convinced everyone that megapixels is what makes the camera....when in fact, that is...

Take more hair off the top of his neck (crest) the top of his hip, and tighten up his belly and I am sure that would REALLY level his top out a lot.  Great looking steer, very stout, hairy, deep and correct!

That cow is not going to let up after just 24 hours.  Chase her out of the pen, go and weigh the calf, and then let the cow back in.  You are risking your life getting anywhere near her baby with her in the same pen.

Anybody know what BW are like on him, or how his front-end was built?

It is a form of defence against predators.  They clean up all the "evidence" as not to attract them.  It is sick, and they stand there and choke it down for an hour.  Im not sure how more cows didnt die doing that!  I think it is also a "natural" process, as there are so many nutrients left in...

Ladies who get gel/acrylic nails......yuck.  We were born with fingernails.  Why must you spend hundreds of dollars to put another one on top??

I would say....get a Min Pin!!  We have had ours for 6 months.  The worst thing he does is destroy socks, and drag underwear around!!  I guess that is our fault for not cleaning up!  He was high energy in the summer, but probably because he was still a pup then.  He has calmed down quite a bit...

One Min Pin named Boone....after Boone, Iowa.  I went to Iowa for a week and LOVED it there!!  Oh the pleasure of no misquito's and lightening bugs! Boone is about a year old...here are a couple of him.
