My cow died late this afternoon.

Injected 20cc Dexamethasone and 5cc Lutalyse Friday at approximately 4:00pm.  Thinking 48 hours would be Sunday at approximately 4:00pm for start of calving. My vet also checked my cow and she had some milk when pulling her teat. However, you never know the exact time for calving when inducing...

Checked cow at a little after 11:00pm Saturday night and the cow had mucous membranes hanging from vulva. At 3:30am Sunday check, cow had pulled rectal prolapse completely back inside. At 7:30am Sunday check, cow still not doing anything.  She had laid in the same spot all night, so I got her...

Well, our vet was out today.  Checked her and she seems close to calving.  We induce labor.  We will see what happens. UPDATE:  My mistake!  I wrote that the cow had a prolapsed "rectum".  I meant prolapsed "VULVA"!  :-\  That make way more sense. MY APOLOGIES.  :(

I have a bred cow with a prolapsed rectum.  She is now presumably due to calve in a couple weeks (as her due date was arrived upon by my vet palpation last fall.  The cow was natural bred by our herd bull and a bull sighting was NOT recorded).  The cow does not seem to be showing signs of...

WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL US... WHAT IS THE BREEDING, SIRE AND DAM, ON TIME SAVER? Where can we see an accurate picture of him?  What Beef Semen Sales Company carries him? Thanks!  <cowboy>

John Christensen always said, "If you want a bull to throw white on the face of his calves, use a blaze face bull with white on his hind feet/legs".  <beer>

I have had my "cattle working system set-up" for over 30 years. It is has been updated, remodeled, and repaired numerous time.  I think I am ready to "tear it out" and start over.  I have been injured too many times and am just getting to old to fight the stubborn ones. I would like to keep...

Thank you, Steve!  (clapping)

Thanks CAB!  <beer>

Can anyone enlighten us as to what happened to Trausch Farms and their Semen Company and where they and their business is now?  Any plans for the future?

Did anyone go to Ryan Went's Female Sale on Saturday 2/6/2016?  How did the females look and how did they sell?  What were your favorites?  What did the bred heifer lot #106 sell for? Can someone please tell me where I may be able to find the sale results of lots and prices?  Thanks!  <cowboy>

Where can I see a pic of this "Get'cha Some" bull of Wade Rogers?

I have been having problems getting heifers bred A.I. when using CIDRs and injections, several programs tried.  I am looking to try something different. Is anyone still using/or gone back to using MGA in some type of synchronization protocol for heifers?

Rock Star, per his flyer: Man Among Boys x Troubadour's Full Sister. BD: March 16, 2015 BW: 90lbs

Also, last year, I tried GCC Gold Standard after hearing good reports.  However, now I am hearing that he may be a "down-sizer" with is opposite of my needs, as my heifers are moderate frame now. I am looking forward to these GCC Gold Standard calves in March, however, at this point, I do not...

Thank you everyone for your responses!  Right now I am thinking seriously of using Fu Man Chu on my smaller framed THF cows this upcoming breeding season. If any one else has any experience with Fu Man Chu, I would still WELCOME your thoughts or stories.

Thanks Chap!

Has anyone ever used "Doc"?

Hot Stove Time of the Year. The NWSS is coming to a close.  It's getting close to calving season.  All the 2016 Sire Directories are out!  It's that time of year to begin choosing our A.I. bulls for this upcoming breeding season. Every year I choose one proven, easy calving bull to "put...
