    Tour of Duty Calves??

    I would say the biggest reason that you arent getting much for replies is because he is being used in production based operations (because he is a big numbered bull) and not so much in the show calf operations. I have seen a few and they have been very good calves. Gaffneys in Wisconsin showed...

    Looking at drones

    I am a crop consultant and these are becoming more and more popular on the crop side of farming as you probably know. I have sat through a lot of demonstrations and sales pitches on them and this is what I have learned: 1. You get what you pay for. This could be the batteries, camera, etc. but...

    Frozen Ears

    Last year I just cut the sleeves off an old sweatshirt and slid that over the calves head and duct taped it on. Worked really well and it was cheap!

    show heifer silhouette

    Honestly there are not a lot of good ones if you do a google search. What I actually did for the heifer on my hats was find a picture of a heifer that you like. I ended up finding an angus heifer that had the outline I liked and brought it to the printer and they were able to just make it a...

    How are MAB Cows Performing in the Pasture

    He isnt freezing but its in such high demand also. This spring I ordered some for a buddy and it was being shipped as he froze. Also if you look at a lot of these online sales (whether they are real or fake price) most of the high sellers are MAB sired.

    How are MAB Cows Performing in the Pasture

    MAB has had a ton of winnners. Shoot look at the beef expos last year the majority of them winning were out of him. If I remember right the top 5 in Michigan were out of him (Actually the Supreme heifer was a full sib) but they are winning all over the place. There is a reason his semen is going...

    Using heifers as Recips

    I did a search on this and really didnt come up with much of an answer. I was talking to a buddy today and we go on the subject of recips. He said if I was going to put some low birth weight angus embryos in that I should use my heifers. I am skeptical because heifers will generally milk less...

    Northern Improvement vs lut vs lutton

    Just curious what did you like/didn't like about Slider? Saw him on Trausch's blog and he sparked some interest with me especially because I try to breed away from Lut/Northern Improvement to hopefully come back and use them.

    retaining flushes

    I completely agree with you about it turning a buyer off of the calf but I don't think many of these flushes ever actually happen. They are just covering themselves in case one of them win a big show. Saying that I would be willing to bet that if they really do collect on the flush that the calf...

    MAB SEMEN

    I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring this thread up. I tried getting some 3 weeks ago and both people I talked to said he is not freezing right now.

    Livestock Trailer Decals

    The only thing I will warn you about putting decals on your trailers is that it becomes a target for DOT officers when on the road. But I am following the thread because at some point I would like to do the same thing.
