    Who Da Man replacement

    Is there a bull out there that could breed a lot like Who Da Man? Recently I became a big fan of Who Da Man heifers but can't afford to buy very many heifers or his semen.

    Zilmax

    Has anyone used Zilmax on their steers or market heifers? Does it work better than optaflexx for adding muscle and weight gain that last few weeks? We have used optaflexx with good results as long as the steer was very sound and not real heavy muscled before. Im guessing a person would have to...

    Barn Cam Upgrade needed

    Having calving cameras is very very nice while note exactly necessary. Here if you can set an alarm to wake up, look at a monitor for a few minutes and see nothing is happening, and then fall back asleep is much easier on a person than waking up, putting on outside clothes, stomping outside...

    Barn Cam Upgrade needed

    How big of an area do you watch with that Axis camera? I was looking at a Panasonic but not nearly as much money. ($660 + ethernet wiring). http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Ethernet-Ceiling-Network-Viewing/dp/B001BBR1KE/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1294939721&sr=8-30

    Barn Cam Upgrade needed

    We have an ag cam system as well. We are looking at upgrading to network/ip cameras that run on ethernet/internet wires. We are looking at getting one camera that pans/tilts/zooms from the center of the barn versus having a camera in each corner. That way others could check from their house...

    Pour-On Dewormer

    We are big Cydectin fans for a pour on dewormer with external parasites control. Otherwise using tactic for externals and Safeguard for worms would be a good idea as well.

    Monopoly Clones

    I like the picture of #3 myself while I will take either one when it comes to ordering (What really matters). The difference if any between the two probably really doesn't matter when breeding cows. Unless you have perfect cows, does it really matter?

    Embryos on Snow

    I want them ALL! Will be watching with a bidder number handy on liveauctions. Really wish we did not have heifers due this week so could go to Denver for this sale and everything else this weekend. I might look at more the maternal lots myself since it is only 25% chance of getting a TH single...

    What is Best

    It depends on what are your goals, time allotment, and what you have for a herd. We are looking to move towards more embryo work so our best cows can have 5-10 calves a year compared to 5-10 calves for her whole life. If all of your cows are close in quality then it might be better to breed all...

    elite trailer wanted.

    I just got what you are asking for ordered in. I got it from Denny's Trailer sales in MN. You could ask them but doubt they have one sitting around but they could quote you a price on a new one. They hold their value so a used one might not be that much cheaper than new. ...

    Best Heat Wave Clone?

    I second that. When full sibs/flush mates can differ so much at times I can't think that there is a difference between the clones.

    DSLR cameras and lens options

    We bought a Canon T2i this spring. We also bought a Canon 18-200mm lens to go with it. So far we like the camera. It should get some really good pictures. Now if you go to spend almost twice as much you can get a better camera but for us who don't picture cattle for a living it should work just...
