What are some of the best online auctions you all have had experience with? The reason I ask is I had found one I was interested in and then I forgot what it was? Work does not allow me enough time to play! (lol)

More than likely that is what will happen. It sure has been a tough year! Or else we wouldnt be considering selling any we just got up to the number we wanted to run just in time to have to turn around and cut back because of the drought.

Yea we are weighing some of those decisions right now too. We have a cow that we have had for a long time almost as long as we have been married she is older than my kids. She was given to us and we bottle raised her. She normally produces one of our better calves. Our daughter will show her...

I also had a real nice heifer out of a pretty plain and small angus cow. Heifer has tons of hair and is very thick maybe market heifer type thick but we dont have market heifer classes over here. She is pretty small but I am assuming that comes from mama. Really good disposition too. Dont know...

That was really awesome. Loved the commercial but especially loved Ag getting some positive press for once. I think most of our society forgets that we all in one way or another came from a rural/Ag background some are just further removed than others, and some havent been removed yet. (lol)

We have very limited sample size so maybe some of you others can confirm or deny but we had a really hair Amen calf. Out of a cow that doesnt usually hair em up too much. Has that been anyone esles experience with Amen?

That is really cool (clapping)

Thanks balckdiamond. I only have 2 registered cows that I was thinking of breeding him to. Both pretty heavy trump bred a 5yr old Radio Active X Dixie Chick and a 3yr old Sull Brother Joe X (Navajo X Dixie Chick). They are both good size cows so it sounds like i probably wouldnt have to much to...

His epd's suggest he will be difficult calving too. Just looking at the epd's i worry about using him on cows even. What do you guys think would you worry about the epd's. I love the looks of the bull and I especially like the he is TH and PHA free. Again I am really looking forward to reports...

I really like him too. But I too was concerned about his calvin ease. I am hoping to hear some reports this spring! <alien>

I think it sounds riskier for the embryo. Depending on the value of it you may not want to take that risk. But as far as the heifers I cant see where it would be anymore risky than AI ing them the same way. Heifers just tend to have higher incidence of dystocia than mature cows.

It is hard to tell in the pics, but she doesnt look too small. But you would know best. I have asked on here before to add frame size as well and I got some of these. Heatwave, Hannibal, Sunseeker, One and Only, Sin City, Unforgiven, Invincible, Yellow Jacket, Almost Famous. I havent had...

Yup, I like the Leinenkugels also. Shiner Bock is a good ol fallback. I have not tried most of the others, but would like to. Not a big fan of the Sierra Nevada's.

I am excited to hear any reports also. I really like this bull. I have never done any ET but I am considering flushing our best cow to this bull to try and get some replacements she is 10 years old and has only had 2 heifers and at the time I couldnt keep any replacements.

I think you are teaching your son the right thing and approaching a difficult situation with a very level head considering the situation. I dont believe anything gets accomplished with lawsuits, lawyers, and threats though sometimes its tempting. You said it perfectly it is a learning experience...

I was considering using him this spring on a capiche heifer, y'all think that might be safe?

I believe there are good careers in ag. A lot of the careers are not so hot in the way of money but are great in the way of life that you get to lead. Keep in mind sometimes it is not about the highest paying job but the one that gives you the most personal satisfaction. That being said I am...

I would like to know also could  you please PM me? Im not going to defame anyone I just dont want to buy an animal from this person.

This is really interesting...so how long do you wait before you grab the cervix and begin to feed the gun through (as good/ or as bad as I am at it I could probably start right away and by the time I get there it will be ready). haha

Really nice calves!
