I only have a picture of one of the heifers, here she is!

Thanks for the info, Firesweep! I'd really like to get females out of these heifers for their first calves and I have some Uno Mas sexed semen already. I might just stick with that instead of Quantum or Montecito, especially since all of their growth EPD's are similar. I'm still really wanting...

Howdy all! I'm looking for some extra opinions on a couple bulls. Wanting to add depth of body, looking to make show heifers. If you have any other suggestions, fire away. I'm also looking for bulls with sexed heifer semen available, so that narrows it down a bit. Thanks in advance!  (thumbsup)...

In order for her to be recognized by the association as anything other than a commercial Simmental, any purebred Simmental animals in her lineage would have to be registered with the association. Her sire would have to be registered as a 50%, which would mean his sire or dam would need to be a...

What does the dam's side of the pedigree look like? Looking to make a show animal? Looking for CE for a first calf heifer? Wanting to add/take away white? (thumbsup)

Getcha some hair extensions! Make that tail look longer! Haha  (lol)

Yup! 72-84 hrs and I agree with AI ER. If anything, I go 72 or earlier and give GnRH either way. Usually ends up with my TAI group being bred at the same time as the ones who come in heat a little bit later, usually 70-72 hours. I like to see some heat response from the responding group before I...

Sorry for the confusion! When I mean two chances and then TAI, I mean that the protocol I use gives them 2 chances at cycling/showing a heat to AI on before I TAI what doesn't show outward signs of heat. I start out with an initial shot of PG and heat detect/AI on days 0-3. Then I put CIDRS in...

Thank you for the info! I've got a few cows that I'm wanting to try Optimizer on. Best of luck to ya! (thumbsup)

Did you use a CIDR protocol? That can give anestrous cows a better chance to cycle. Most of my advice comes from what I've gathered about CIDR protocols. First of all, I'm a fan of using TAI in the cattle who don't show visible heats, so I'm probably not the best person to give advice! I use a...

Sending you a PM!

YUP! That's a big one. If you're looking for "number cattle" she's got some low CE numbers. I'm curious to see what she looks like!

He's really looking good so far! ;D How are the Optimizers doing frame wise? You like your Optimizers or Ironhides better?

Personally, I give it at breeding.

I switched things up and did a modified 6 day CIDR protocol, works on my cows and heifers. Surprised the heck outta me when they ran about 85% conception first AI service. I'll see how we do this spring. Type in BEEF SYNCHRONIZATION PROTOCOLS on the internet and there are lots of examples. Some...

If you're wanting a heifer calf, ABS has sexed heifer semen on a bull named Juice Box. HH Perfect Timing is a CE bull. NJW Hometown is another good one. Best of luck wit her!

I also noticed the rear pastern issue. If you trimmed his hooves, that makes sense. He sure looks pretty darn near finished to me, best of luck with him! What area are you in? I know of some who slick out their steers down south. At our fair, plenty of people slick theirs out too. Ours is in...

Good call on the patches, I've had really good luck with them. I'm not familiar with Estroplan, but it sounds like a prostaglandin. That will bring them into heat within a few days after you give it. I personally use a CIDR protocol with my cattle when I AI and I almost always give GnRH...

Alrighty, first of all I would like to see pictures, pedigrees/EPDs so I could help you out more and give you a better opinion. Do you have registration numbers? Without seeing either of them, I can't help a whole lot. If you're looking more towards the performance/cow making aspect of things...

We prefer to knife cut ours before they reach 3 months of age. I had a grader at the sale once tell me that the market around here prefers them to be knife cut, I assume to make sure they are really steered. Never really saw any difference in prices though. If banding, ASAP. Most people around...
