    Need help with hair!

    A 4-h member in our county has a steer that he is really working hard with but cannot get the hair to train. He rinses and combs and has been using a mane and tail conditioner. As soon as the heair dries it lays down, he has tried rinsing and blowing and as he blows it and it dries it lays down...

    Standing heat a 1:00pm?

    So you guys use 2 straws on the cow? Doesnt it get expensive? I had the same question the other day but I didnt think to put it on steer planet. I kinda went with earlier. I didnt have the ability to do it in the dark. I had heard that semen can be good in the cow for a long time as well so I...

    pha positive question

    We had a PHA this year too that was a natural delivery out of a heifer but I think it came 2 to 3 weeks early too. I knew the bull was a carrier but I did not think the heifer carried it in her lineage so I did not test her. Anyway the calf was definately deformed but size wise was fairly normal...

    Eye Candy Semen $50?

    I am with you all. I was gonna use EC on a few cows, and I just believe for the price I can find a bull that will do the same thing. I was gonna use Jimmy the Greek I think on those same cows that need downsizing and some depth of body and hair? hopefully? What are some opinions on that?

    TH / PHA

    One more thing to consider. I fall into the category of the last two poster's I dont want to breed a carrier to a carrier either....and one thing that has caused that I had not given enough consideration is the testing I have to do. I am not sure how many head you are looking at, but if you mate...

    Tiny calf

    Hired Man or Tiger Woods

    We also had a hired man heifer out of a mature cow with no problems. She was 74 lbs out of a smaller mostly angus female. My daughter showed her last year as her first time showing and she was a doll. So we have not had a bad experience with Hired Man attitudes. This heifer is due to have her...

    What is your 2012 bull lineup?

    I am probably looking at trying Sunseeker or Hannibal on several of my commercial angus x cows to raise either steers or heifers. I also want to try some monopoly, eye candy, and/or walks alone. Then on my heifers I want to try Tiny Tim or Total Solution. Then I have my one clean-up bull that is...

    Maternal Bull

    I have never used either bull and I am not sure what breed (s) you are looking at, but it seems like I have seen a lot of nice Sunseekers, Monopolys,and Who Made Whos in the clubby genetics. Another one I was kind of curious about and by the way I am interested in anyones input on all this like...

    best TH Free Clubby

    Just curious on the Johnny Walker Reds, are they thick? I should have a calf out of him in the spring and was wondering what to expect. The cow he is bred to is not very thick. I used Hired Man twice also and got okay calves. The cows were kinda plain. The calves were thick but both seemed to...

    Future sire?

    I am sort of new to the club calf stuff. And I think I experienced the same thing. We have predominantly commercial angus cows and I had a really good angus bull on them for growth. Then last year I bought a clubby type bull that goes back to Irish Whiskey on top and and meyer/angus on bottom. I...
