If you're only AI'ing them once and then letting the bull clean-up, like savaged said, put them together 5 - 7 days after the last one was AI'ed.  If the calf comes a week after AI due date, it's probably an AI baby.  If it's born two weeks or longer after AI due date, it's probably a clean-up...

Last year had a cow calve on May 3.  Three weeks later she appeared to be in heat.  The vet came several days later to implant embryos and we had him check this cow to verify what I thought.  He said yes she had been n heat.  We were going to use her for a recip but he thought better wait till...

I acquired a tank from a friend with semen and embryos.  There's 14 straws of Echo semen (Heatseeker x PB Simi).  I wanted more information on him and discovered Cattle Vision has it listed for $50 a straw.  Is he that much in demand, short supply, or a mistake in pricing?  I keep up with most...

Check uship.com.  You enter your info, i.e. what you're shipping, from where to where, you can enter a budget but not necessary.  It goes out to haulers/transporters who subscribe to this service.  I posted a job to haul two horse from Indiana to South Dakota about 10 days ago.  Got one bidder...

There's a new rule/law that went into effect March 11, 2015 for tracing the origin and movement of cattle.  Not sure if I can remember all the requirements and what cattle fall subject to this.  What I do know is all cattle for exhibition, rodeos, etc., and sexually intact cattle crossing state...

Walks Alone's can have a bit of an attitude and watch putting him on anything with soundness issues.  JMO from personal experience.  Although Heatwaves can be the same, so just watch what you're doing.

This might be a little out of the ordinary, but it is cattle business.  How are you folks going to ID calves/cattle with the new traceability  regulations?  Myself, and I suppose a lot of you, are gong to have to find space in the ears of our calves for: 1.  Individual, easy to read farm ID...

My ABS rep got me sexed Brilliance for $55, or at least it was in January, may be more now.  There's some really cool fronted, future Simi/Angus cows sired by him.  He should fix the bold shoulder whereas Hobart, for instance, might go the other way.  I've got Meyer/Angus, MAB/Who, and Get It...

Had a Walks Alone/Sunseeker bull last year with front legs curved like a letter "C" when viewed from the side.  Same thing as yours, very active, nursed well, almost had to run instead of walk to keep from falling on his nose.  We knew he'd never make a club calf steer, but he was getting around...

This isn't cattle related but I thought I'd throw it out and try.  Needing a disc chisel, prefer pull type, and wonder how many shanks and width a 145 horse tractor can handle.  I've heard 10 horse per shank but that seems a little low.

We've used BoSe for years being in a selenium deficient area, 1 cc/40 lb. or 2 - 3 cc/calf.  Last year we started using Multimin on cows at breeding and need to prior to calving.  This year for the calves I'm replacing BoSe with Multimin for the calves.  You give one cc. and the one cc. has...

Not sure where you are or your winter feeding management, but do you know cattle can get grass tetany in a dry lot, dry hay feeding environment.  Just like lush spring grass low in magnesium, processed forage can be deficient in magnesium and cause grass tetany.  We learned this a few years ago...

His first calves would just be coming this spring.  Give Ron Rutan, one of the owners, a call.  He's a stand-up guy and will tell you how to use him and when the first calves are coming. 937-603-1319

I saw a really good Bismark x Get It Done April heifer the other day.  She had the prettiest, long neck coming out the top of her shoulder and she had depth and rib, and good bone and hair as well.  Just a good angular maternal little gal. 

I have three heifers to breed next spring, MAB, Meyer/Angus and Get It Done daughter, and wondered about these Angus bulls.  I originally was thinking No Worries or another calving ease clubby type.  I know what some of you are thinking, "There is no such thing - calving ease clubby.".  But...

What is the best width between pipes and distance from wall?  We would mostly use it for calves 5 - 8 months old before selling them.  Or are there measurements that work for calves and older castle?

How are the calves of No Worries doing?  I have three heifers I'm thinking to use him on next spring and thought I'd start getting some opinions.  I'm assuming they come small but how do they grow and what does he do with frame size?  I have one small framed heifer and wonder if he will help...

I feel there is a major decline.  I've had a calf listed on Craig's List for over a week and have yet to get a call.  Other years I would have a dozen or more by now.  I don't put the price in the ad so they have to call even if they're just nosey.  I think the serious showers, that are also...

Sure Champ is a good supplement to enhance appetite, increase hair quality, and all-around better health.  Very economical is a great bonus.  I like AAOK's ration and have tweaked it to fit my expectations.  I usually lower the corn and cottonseed hulls some, and replace with soybean hulls.  I...

The shot of Lute on day 11 is used in every situation when it is subsequent to a repro event, i.e. aborting an unwanted pregnancy, short cycling if they did not respond to a sync procedure, cleaning the uterus, etc.  It's just the time after a repro event when everything is ready to go again. I...
