3 week old pic of the heifer. Excuse the poor quality, it's a night photo.

I think it might be beneficial to be able to "subscribe" to certain bulls that would give us notifications (by email, when we log in, whatever) when people update bull info. So we don't have to repeatedly check back for into that may/may not be updated. Maybe already available but I didn't see...

Wanted to share this website with you guys. Cool idea!! People create an account and can "review" bulls, post offspring photos, etc to help people make more educated breeding decisions. No idea how old the website is but would love for some of the experienced breeders to share their knowledge on...

Had our first Tour of Duty calf this morning. Born unassisted and is very small. Haven't been able to get a weight yet but would guess nothing over 70lbs. Really excited to see how the calf progresses!!

I know of a dairy farm internship where you would get a lot of experience with this. Let me know if you are interested and I'll look up the name.

drapp, who posted above is the owner and breeder.

I will contact the owner tomorrow and see what they have on the ground. I would bet he has a handful already.

My vote of those would be Slider. I know the guy who raised him and they have a good program. They also bred the Calgary stampede grand champion steer about 2 years ago. I like the bull a lot and we will very likely be using him on our heifers. Competitive Edge Genetics carries him...

I found this calf picture on a producer's website. Would love some actual opinions though. Has to be some on the ground by now I would think. http://harvestangus.com/calving-season-2015/ She is Tag 19

Just curious if anyone has any on the ground yet? He seemed really popular. Expecting 2 calves from him in about two weeks.

Trying to make some breeding decisions for this year. $EN is a trait I want to know more about. Most of the cattle we have are above average on that number. One is in top 10%. However I am wondering how this number is calculated. The majority of the cattle that have a good $EN seem to either be...

I've done a lot of research on them including look at old posts here. But I still have some questions. Our only internet access is a Verizon MiFi. We pay by the gigabyte so less used is definitely better!! We are looking for a camera system that can be run to the house and connected through a...

I have a different perspective to share. I purchased a show broke shorthorn steer last year. Super easy to lead. Just as we always do we turn them out over the winter to grow, as we don't show them over the winter. So come May we brought them all back in to start working them again. Within two...

This is a good point! To be honest, I am far less concerned about them cloning the specific animal, as I am worried about them cloning any of her offspring on down the line.

Thanks everyone for your responses!! I also thought it was very vague. And they retained 2 flushes and cell rights to every animal in their sale. I can understand the best one or two but it seems silly to keep them on all. I am not interested in purchasing any because I want to own my animals...

Just saw in a sale footnote that a producer is retaining two flushes and the rights to all cell lines and was curious what exactly it means? Does that mean I can't clone her or any of her offspring? What exactly does it prohibit? TIA!!

Yes Revolution is a Kalmbach feed. Link is being posted below. http://www.kalmbachfeeds.com/shopping/Revolution-Show-Supplement-560FOC-P140.aspx

3 Feed questions: We are presently feeding the 1/3 1/3 1/3 blend to a market heifer and steer, and a breeding heifer. I am concerned it does not have enough protein? They are going to be in a late august fair. Weighing 500-700 lbs now. Anyone used either Revolution or Guts and Glory? I was...

How much %CP should a prospect market heifer be fed? What about breeding? The feed I am using has 12% but I am not sure that's high enough.
