I know King Meyer is extremely clean fronted and should also make a good maternal replacement.  Hara had some sexed heifer semen from him also.  I don't know if he has any left.  The down side is that I have not seen what kind of calves he is throwing.  I have a maine/angus cow bred to him...

Thanks for the advice everyone.  I have started feeding before we rinse and work them and the process has seemed to go a little smoother the past couple of days.  It has been a while since my wife and I have had show calves so it has taken us a few days to find a routine and get in a groove. ...

I was jsut wondeirng what everyone's daily routines consist of.  We just got our 3 new heifers this weekend and was curious how everyone does it.  These are kind of a family project so everyone jumps in and helps rinse and blow them out and clean out the pen and so on.  We put them in the cool...

I know the whole cool room topics have been discussed quite a bit on here and I have looked at those post.  I was curious if anyone has used the cool bot system and if so how did it work?  Also was thinking about installing the Cool Calf Safe Door system if I end up building a cool room and was...

I like the sullivan's blowers.  With the BOSS blower you are paying a lot of money for that fancy paint job.  They claim that they produce more are flow than the sullivan blower but there is only so much air that a 1 1/2" hose can let thru.

I always tell people that if you are getting into showing cattle for the money you need to find a new hobby.  You carry the lessons you learn from a young age with you the rest of your life.  The memories that you will have are PRICELESS!

Thanks for the info.  I was able to get a hold of the guy that I got it from and got the info that I needed. 

I am trying to find out what size AI gun I need for some semen that I bought that is in a 2 ml straw?  Thanks!

Don't know much about him but his semen brought $700 a straw at the Frozen Gold Sale this past weekend.

What is a good size for a cool room?  I was thinking about building one and want to make sure that I don't get it too big but yet make it big enough.  I have small children so I am just getting started and we will have 3 heifers this year but will eventually move into to larger projects.  I was...

I am curious about everyone's opinion on keeping heifers in  a cool room.  We bought 2 feeder heifers that we are going to show this year and keep for breeding.  I have heard some opinions that cool rooms can make it hard to get heifers bred when it comes time to breed them.  We are debating...

Had a girl in my 4-H club show a Hannibal heifer last year.  She a nice showy style to her but had NO guts to her at all.  Tried a bunch of different feed combos and still didn't get her to fill out any.  She was also really hard to get her to walk.  She would just lock her legs tight and...

I have heard that Sunseeker will do the most two stouten up and dress up an angus cow.  Just had a Sunseeker heifer calf a couple weeks ago out of my angus cow.  It is pretty small so it is hard to tell.  I think it will beter than the first calf I had from her.  It was a Hard Core Heifer.

To help clear up my question I want to know what size my outisde turn out pen should be.  The inside of my barn is setup in 12'x12' pens or I can open them up and go 12'x24'.  I have roughly an area lot fenced in around my barn but I thought that is would be to big and was thinking about cutting...

I am starting to make some plans to get my barn ready for my niece's feeder calves.  What is a good size turnout pen for 2 feeder calves?  In the barn they will be penned in either a 12'x12' or 12'x24' pen.  I am hoping the 12'x12' pen will be big enough for them during the day. 

Is this the only place to send it to.  I live in southwest Ohio and didn't know if there was some place closer.  Also where can I get the purple top tube?  Thanks!

I was wondering what I needed to do to get a hiefer we had a couple of weeks ago tested for TH.  She is out of Sunseeker and a angus cow.  This is the first time that I had used a TH carrier and was curious what I needed to do and the cost.  Thanks for your help.

I was thinking about installing a sprinkler system in my barn for my show hiefers since I have read where it can hurt them being in cool rooms.  What are some suggestions and also some good systems.  I was wondering if you could put some kind of timer on it to set it to spray on some kind of...

I used him on my angus heifer last year and got a heifer that should make a pretty decent cow.  She is nothing real flashy but she is deep bodied, long and has lots of hair.

I have search the internet over looking for a place to buy the CD or download some of the songs but I haven't had any luck.  My wife used to be an ag teacher and loves the CD.  Can anyone help? Thanks!
