She's much better tonight.  Doesn't seem to be in any discomfort.  Called the vet this morning and he said cows give off hormone scents when they are heavy and close to term.  The bull sensed that and probably tried to breed her.  Probably caused some lacerations, hence the bloody discharge.  He...

Who were the judges?  Was Wilcox there from Indiana?  Any heifer results?

Tonight when my wife fed she saw the bull following a cow that was blood tested preg. 2 monthe ago.  She is due Feb. 23.  The bull was definietly interested and she is passing blood, has tail cocked to one side and humped up.  Could she be trying to calve early/abort and the bull is sensing it...

How would it work if sale cattle and sale rings were in the Expo Hall and move the show rings and trade show back to the cattle barn?  After the Sat. sales there was a lot of empty, wasted space in the Cattle Barn.  And the old Trade Show area was much more open.  If the vendors were pushed as...

WMW is a bull that had to wait to be figured out.  In the mid to late 90's when everything had to be WMW there were va LOT of train wrecks.  I think he was being used on clubby bred cows.  Finally, he was used on purebreds that were sound with some flex and unrestrained movement and he added the...

We preg. blood tested her the first of Nov. which was too soon for these recent bull breeding possibilities.  But we were doing the rest of the herd and thought we would check her out.  She tested open.  Everything else tested pregnant, of course this was 3 - 6 months after they could have been...

We have a cow, 10 years old, that was in heat in early Oct.  She was AI'ed in May, ran with the bull from mid-June to mid-July.  We waited 11 days, gave Lute, and turned the bull back in.  Her cycle dates would be Oct. 23, Nov. 13 and Dec. 4, give or take.  The bull has hardly left her side...

That is correct, she sold for $8500 to Bird & Huston.  The 5 Damn Proud heifers in the RC sale avg. $6200.  One, that sold below the avg., won her early Feb. class at Louisville.  We have two club calf cows bred to DP, Hannibal and Get It Done daughters.  Plus we stuck a couple straws in a herd...

Around here the locker plants stamp all meat packages with "Not For Resale".  The state board of health can't inspect every plant every day.  So they just inspect when the plant is processing for their retail sales.  Freezer beef sold by producers have to have the consumers name stamped on the...

Folks, not voting at all is a big, big, mistake.  One of them is going to be our president.  If you don't care for either, vote for the one (Romney) that you have the least questions about.  There's two ways to decide.  1.  Vote for the candidate you like, or 2.  Vote against the one you don't...

My son-in-law's family in South Dakota had one go through the chopper chopping earlage last week.  They were opening a new field so the truck was following the chopper instead of filling from the side.  Deer doesn't blow like corn-----------------------------------he dropped right out of the end...

I had this concern a few years ago.  I needed to get a logical system.  So that year I went back and numbered each mature by age, i.e. the oldest com was #1, second oldest #2, etc. I had maybe 12 cows.  The next calf born was #13, didn't matter if it was a bull or heifer.  In the lower left...

It's also a shame some of the best steers were left out of the Grand Drive because it's only for the breed champions.  After the first 4 - 5 steers the quality dropped way off.  And then you have some very good xbred and chi steers standing in their stalls.  I know the breeds like to be...

Was the Grand steer raised by Jeff Miller?  And who is his sire?  Nice steer as was the reserve of Martin's.  Congrats to everyone!!!!!!

Where and how do you mark using the paint sticks?  How much?  With the tailhead or across?  How far in front of the tailhead?  Sounds like dumb questions but just trying to get an idea.  We've used EstrusAlerts with reasonable luck until this year.  A week after they're bred the patch is already...

Just a reminder if you need to show this weekend the Dearborn Co. Indiana Open Jr. Show is Sat., June 16, in Lawrenceburg, IN.  The fairgrounds is on the east edge of town on U.S. 50.  Just two miles from I-275 for you Ohio and Kentucky showmen.  Good little show in it's 25th year!!!!!!!  Call...

I also wondered about the second shot of Lute with the 7 day protocol?  What about pulling the Cidr at 5.5 days and second Lute 8 hrs. later.  The reason I ask, we implanted Sunday evening about 6:00, April 29.  The 5 day would put us pulling Cidr's Friday evening and the second Lute shot...

Two Monopoly Moneys we have this year are carbon copies of each other and bigger frame, taller calves than Monopoly's.  Good bone, nice calves.  Neither cow milks the best so I'm anxious to see how they do on feed.

I'll check it out.  Thanks!!!
