I do AI for a partial living as well.  I should have a definite answer by now, but I don't.  I use a warm H2O bath as of now, however, I don't see the difference between tossing the straw into a 96 or 98 degree water, and then tossing it into a cow of similar temperature, versus just grabbing...

I just had a 2 day overdue 88lb heifer calf, and a 4 day overdue 85lb heifer calf out of Salute.  Both were from RA cows.

She is referring to the cow.  The cow was assumed (I believe) PHA free by pedigree.

Ditto on the new picture thing.  I wouldnt go judging the production of a cow that already has produced as well as her.  As someone said before, even if she is an ugly cow by some people's standards, at least she PRODUCES!!

Where is OH anyways?  They asked me all those questions, and then dissapeared after I answered.

You know, I went back and read AAAALLLLL of my posts so far.  I don't recall having called anybody a name once. I said that OH was acting LIKE a smart a$$.  Much different than actually calling him one. The sick thing is....I still have a lot of respect for OH, would listen to his/her other...

So they basically DO still sell semen even if they basically failed a basic semen test? Yeesh.  Poor people who are getting screwed. 

LinZ, I don't have any updated images of my own cows.  I don't really care what anybodies opinion is on them, which is why I have never posted them.  I certainly trust my own, and those of the people closer to me (and my area) who's opinions might matter.  What would posting an image of my own...

I understand that, but there are some poeple that will have a 10 month old bull producing.  Its crazy, and IMO pushing it a little, but whatever. After Denver, or any other promotional show, what if they don't score well?

Ha Ha Ha.  I will let you know when I get my phone call!  It will probably be one telling me how great I was for sticking to my guns :)  much like the PM's I have been getting. I am really quite stunned....someone who is calling me a name, is also telling me I don't know everything.  What I know...

How is she bred?  Where do you live?  I would suggest Connealy Thunder.  There have been LOTS of good, thick, standout calves out of him thus far.  Like Mark said though, a good Shortie would be fun too!  It depends what you are looking for.

What is your point exactly?

How many people actually do this BEFORE they display their bulls and try to sell semen that hasn't been collected?  Does it matter if a bull only scores like 30% in all reality?  Do they still collect, and actually try to sell that crap?

Hilarious.  Do you have kids?  Would you appreciate it if they worked their a$$e$ off on a project, only to get beat by someone who is quite a bit more senior.  I mean, what the hell could a young kid REALLY know about ANYTHING??  Im surprised my Mommy even lets me whipe my own butt....I must...

Boo Hoo....thanks for the recap R1...I am sure everyone needed it. Now you people are all calling Macho a terrible bull yourselves, and doing it out of sarcasm.  When did Macho being a bad bull ever come up in my postings? The next thing I know, you will be calling me jealous because I probably...

Not enough bone, or hair.  No good. (pop)

And I guess I missed the conversation where old men know everything, and young girls are "too smart for their own good". Not. I see people like you guys every day with work.  My best, and most happy and satisfied repeat paying customers are those who treat me with respect and ask for my advice...

Its hard to evaluate newborn calves.  You can pick out the basics...bone, hair, general phenotype, whatever.  Its kind of like looking at a 2 day old baby and asking if they are going to be a model.  You can see that some babies are really more cute than others, but that doesn't mean they will...

I do have a herd of my own.  I was given a cow when I was born, so you can say I have had cattle for YES, almost 23 years!!  Wow, congratulations for guessing my age almost perfectly  (clapping). Right now I own 9 bred cows.  The youngest is 3, and the oldest is 13 and going real strong.  I...

Sweet, sweet heifer!  (clapping)
