Honestly this sounds more like piss poor management than anything else to me! How you see the cow laying with the calf but then can't identify the cow in a herd of 100 head!? Please explain to me why these people have cattle if they cannot manage them properly?

If you wait until natural heat your looking at appromiately 60 days before they will come into heat but you can get them goin a little quicker by giving them a shot of Lut a week after calving. I had the same problem with a couple last year and I set them up and bred them at 45 days and they...

Your cow is obviously not homozygous black, so the calf got one red color gene from mama and one red color gene from papa giving you a red calf. Genetics 101.

I would agree with DNAing it but at the same time too you could look at the AI bull you used on the cow and look at what his birth weight epd would be. If he is a calving ease bull that threw a 90 pound bull calf i would say it is probably the AI bull being 13 days late. If the herd bull is one...

cowboy_nyk I am glad you brought this bull up because he has interested me quite a bit. I know he doesnt have the best growth epds but they arent they worst i have seen either. I was thinking about using him to try and get away from some of the Lut influced lines that are in my cattle. Would...

Alright thank you for your responses

I haven't really felt the whole ear lately but the tip feels a little swollen. I duct taped an old sweatshirt sleeve on its head while it's been cold the last few nights

Had a calf that froze an ear this weekend after I tagged him. My question is I got its ear warmed up as quick as possible and it has been warm since. My question is, is it just a matter of a time before it falls off or will it be normal?

I think in his 2 year old picture he looks a lot like his sire from his shoulders forward. He is a good looking bull tho!

Didnt mean any offense by my post earlier. It just amazes me how many people buy into these crippled up bulls that he is selling. But people see his name on a bull and it is the best thing in the world (The kool-aid drinkers) saw the same thing happen when Dakota Gold first sold and there was no...

I dont see how he is a marketing genious. He put 5 units of semen on a sale, not much marketing there, and as stated earlier he could have bought it himself. If it is real money that got paid for it I would call it supply and demand. Its the first 5 ever offered and it hasnt even been collected...

Hobart actually died last year, just fyi

The rule I usually us is if they pass a semen test, 1 cow for every month they are old up to about two years old they should be able to cover ~30 cows

Really hard to tell much from two rear shot pictures. Would really like to see a profile picture. It looks good from behind only thing I can see that I would fault would be he looks to toe out on his front wheels

Well i guess my opinion is that where I live(Northeast IA) you never know what the weather is going to be like (it could be cold, snowing, warm, raining) where as in January or Febuary you know its going to be cold and i feel a person can prepare for it a little better.

There is still a carload show for the Angus

I would leave him tied up and walk him to water and feed. If he doesnt want to lead he doesnt get either. He will eventually learn to lead by doing that

Ok there has been a lot of talk on the clubby bulls out in Denver and which ones were the best, etc. I am wondering if there were any purebred bulls (Angus, Simmi, Chars) that were worth mentioning on here because those are the bulls I would like to hear about. Thanks.

Carlson i dont want to bash you at all and I do not mean any offense by this, but you can not tell anything from these pics. You cant see through hair and that is exactly what is giving his "outrageous power". The only way you can see anything is if there is a video of him then you can start to...

Last year the showtimes videoed them and had them on their facebook page if i remember right
