    TH FREE MAB calves

    From what I can tell is that is a nice looking calf. What is the pedigree on the cow? Also what is MAB working best on?

    Easy keeping maine genetics?

    Gib Yardley has a Maine bull that I believe he bought from Buck Cattle. I think the bull's name is Cowboy. I saw in their sale catalog last fall that Cowboy's calves weaned off just as big as his simmis and Angus. I'd give him a call to see how Cowboys daughters are doing in production.

    C-section

    You can rebreed.  The cow/heifer just needs to clean first and the uterus needs to retract down to the normal prepregnancy size.

    Sexed vs conventional?

    Thank you for the reply.  I'm curious because I own a 2007 model high % maine cow.  Her heifer calves make good club calf mommas but her steers are just average.  Being a 2007 model, we'd like to get as many heifers out of her before she is done.  Yes we have considered flushing her but we...

    late embryos

    We're sitting around waiting for our recip to calve. She's due March 2nd based off 285 days and including the 7 days in the donor cow. We flushed the purebred maine intense Plus cow to sexed Whizard semen. The problem is the recip just isn't showing that she should calve in 3 or 4 days. The...

    General lee heifer

    I-80 or some sons (Not I-67 though Lautner Farms will tell you that he isn't calving ease), Comfort Zone, Mercedes Benz. Plus the calf would be registerable Maine. Personally, I would bred her to a CE Angus bull for her first calf.

    what do you guys suggest?

    Fu Man Chu calves have done some winning. I guess it just depends on the cow.

    Monopoly clone question

    I wonder how long #4 has been that way. We had good results getting cows to stick in 2014 but AI-ing in 2015 we had mixed results.

    what do you guys suggest?

    I think Monopoly would work. Fu Man Chu also. Look at Renegade Blues too.

    Trausch Farms?

    Are they still in business?  If not, I know someone that would gladly take Young Money off their hands.

    Daddy's Money Calves

    What is he working best on?  What is he doing to frame size?  I like the bull, I am just trying to figure out what is best to use him on besides just calving ease.

    Sexed Heifer Semen Bulls

    It cost us somewhere in the neighborhood of $350 for 5ml of sexed Whizard semen. I'd have to go look at my records the embryologist wanted the 5ml split into two straws of 2.5ml. He put the first straw in and the 2nd I believe about 12 hours later. You could get 2.5ml of sexed and the other 2.5...
