Matt Lautner Cattle recommended Gunsmoke a lot last year.  He is a Char.  We have our first due April 1.

I know he is not a clubby bull but Matt Lautner Cattle recommended Gunsmoke to us.  He is actually Charlois but throws a clubby looking calf.  Our first will be due April 1 out of Red Angus/Simmental Cross Cattle.  My husband actually just wanted a nice framed smoke to try to market but they did...

Thanks for the info. OH Breeder we are feeding each separate and all eat very well and seem to be hungry a lot. They have pretty much free run of hay at night. The two steers are short but some of that is genetics. They are the ones that seem to be fat but are not growing. I am afraid of...

What is rep-gel? I have never heard of this but we have tried many horse medicines.

We have four show calves three of which we are getting ready to sell at expo I believe and the other will get shown at MN State Fair and then more than likely will be listed on an online sale. Prior to about two weeks ago everyone was getting Purina Grand 4T-Fyer and Precon at about 12 pounds a...

Thanks for the info. I am guessing we will be in the 410-430 lb range so we should be right in that middle range. I was thinking that is where Netzkes always sat but I didn't want to look like we were a midget compared to everyone else. I think our calf is pretty decent. She is a I-80 x Monopoly...

I know this may seem like a stupid question but does anyone know the average weight of a prospect market calf at state fair. I think our market steer got away from us in weight and we may be looking at taking a prospect calf. We weighed last evening and the calf we like has been gaining a little...

Is everyone talking Precon Complete in the blue Purina bag or the regular Precon.

I think I may have asked this before but what is the average hip height of a calf that was born in early March of this year. We have some calves that appear to be very nice structured but I am scared they are going to be to short in structure. I think some of this may be genetics but how do you...

We flushed a cow early spring last year at Polzin Embryo Center and used Hammer. Yes, he was quite spendy but we are hoping with a good calf crop this year we will be able to sell the eggs at a good price. The one that took to our recip was born almost three weeks early but man she is really...

If you want to keep it real cool you could invest in whats called a coolbot.  This keeps your air conditioner cooler than normal.  It is a little of an investment but if you are not planning on showing beyond this year you could probably sell.  We used for a couple years until we bought an old...

We used 2 straws on sexed Upgrade semen last year.  We got a discount rate $20 a straw for buying so much so we put in three cows and all three took and now we have three very nice Upgrade heifer calves. We did do synchronized breeding and used GnRh.  Two of the cows are very fertile so dont...

We also had a calf we had to pull I believe it was March 1.  It was a first calf heifer so we bred with I-80.  The heifer was also shown as a market heifer and was very extreme.  She was a Monopoly x Friction.  We probably should have let her go to market but we had the idea that she could have...

I am looking for some info on the bulls Steel Wheels and Stock Broker.  I realize Stock Broker is pretty new but looking to see what they work on.  I like the Simmental genetics in them but I know stock Broker also has 50% Maine.  We have an Ali cow that I would maybe like to try the Stock...

Could anyone help me out with Cane Code XX1780. I am having problems finding who it may be. Also XX007 appears to be Carnac but we have never bought any Carnac. Is that used for anyone else? I am thinking my daughter wrote down wrong and it should read XB007 which is Walks Alone. I believe we...

Does anyone have any Simmental Hammer calves on the ground yet?  We put some embryos in recips last summer and are expecting two calves shortly and am very excited. Just curious if anyone has had calves yet. If so pics would be great or let me know how they look.

I am looking for some suggestions on new and upcoming simmental bulls to use on a first calf heifer. The heifer is a Momentum x Northern Improvement half blood simmental and we would like to keep the simmental genetics going.  She is a very deep bodied, sound, and muscular heifer. Any...

I know it is a long way but have you ever thought about Minnesota.  Our state fair has a lot of very good cattle and we do have an open show.  I am almost positive they have a Hereford show.  We are more Simmi breeders so we have entered in the open simmi show but like I said almost sure they...

Thanks for the info. Did find Blue Chip on Cattle.com website but have never ordered Blue Chip and not a fan of Carnatic so have never ordered. I am thinking my daughter may have wrote XXX instead of XB007 and it could be Walks Alone. The other I am thinking could be written down wrong as well...

We just did an inventory of our semen and eggs in our tank and came across two cane codes that we cannot figure out the sire.  I have searched Lautners site and cannot find the codes as well as Trausch and Cattle Visions.  Cant think of anyone else besides Genex we have bought semen from.  Here...
