How long do YOU wait before pulling a calf?  What are your cues? Friday night we had a heifer that was bred to Stetson, a CE Limousin bull, due Monday, start Pre labor around 6:30 or so.    She wasn't pushing hard  at any point.  Just kinda laying there in the stall with her tail out...

I had a similar program growing up, only my grandpa made it a heifer a year.....  If my cow had a bull, he would let me pick a heifer to trade for.  Did that up till high school when I started selling my steers, then in college dad would trade for my heifers.  Eventually when I needed some...

I am actually friends with Randy.  Will probably buy some embryos from him at some point.  I just really have liked virtually everything I have heard about Irish Whiskey lines when it comes to producing maternal.  Your right though he has some bulls that deserve more use.  Creature is a...

One in a million son out of angus cow

Anything we breed that adds color had better not throw any salebarn calves,  I had five calves with Hereford markings and got robbed at the sale barn.  Anything other then a white face gets a huge dock......  To clarify, around here As far as seeing them in person, I have no issue with going...

Here is my situation.......  My dad and I have about 60 Limousin based commercial cows.  Last two years we have AIed heifers to Power 2 Change, and have five pretty nice heifers out of him that will be AIed this spring (two I think are pretty darn good). Also have a few angus based (Bismarck...

Point is smaller framed lower maintenance cattle that require less feed to reach finish.... As for pricing the bull, yes a five and half year old bull will be worth a lot less the a yearling for the same reason a cow value goes down.  He likely only has a couple years left of being able to...

Have fun, ask questions, NEVER tuck jeans into boots, in fact I would just say NEVER wear "skinny" jeans ;)

The fact that our market place has so many rules is part of the problem......  Sounds like the couple came in looking for a scene to me, or at least to press an issue or make a point.......

110 pound bw and used on heifers  8-).  Someone had cojones to try that!

Sounds to me like you got lucky.....  1/8 that all three would be clear.

Very wide range depending on quality.....  Figure what the calf is worth, what the cow would pound out for, and figure up based on quality from there.

If you take out Illionois, California, and Washington DC from the USAs national stats the rate goes down even more.......  The three areas with the strictest local gun laws raise the murder rate........  How can that be?

We never trusted heifers that had been implanted.   

Aspirin dosage?    Was it recommended by vet?  Just curious to know in case I need to use it some day

Anyone know how the Ticknor calf that won the winter expo did?

So far this is by far the most informed opinion on here...,.,.  Those with the most informed opinion has the one that carries the most weight......    Xbar, go read more propaganda!

Xbar,    Nine states......  Yep NINE, and the reason they went after nine, was because they were states with very very little pork production.  They knew there would not be much opposition, because there were not many pork producers in Florida, or Maine, word is pork mega states like Rhode...
