    WAG Harrietta

    Never seen her on the hoof. Maybe close to a dozen sons marketed as AI sires? I would think Breathe Easy would be a nice female producer...

    Take a look and help me pick a bull

    I am sure I will take some flack here, but this is exactly the kind of cow Alias will work on. No clubby breeding and lots of flex in skeleton. Of course I am always thinking females first...JMO... <rock>

    Heat after calving

    We were in an unmerciful drought last year. We put eggs in or AIed everything that come into heat after 45 days thinking the longer we waited the worse conditions would be and we were quite right. Usually wait and synch the cows up, etc. We got along fine with our conception rates, actually...

    Soggy little heifer

    Sarcasm is lost on youth, so I will answer this one...Genetics make them big middled and able to thrive without grain..... (clapping)

    breeding question...

    I guess I did not hit the right button...My first response was that I have bred the same cow 8 times to the same bull if I liked the first one. Call it lack of creativity, but it pays the bills.  (thumbsup)

    Cattlevisions simangus bull Wish Maker

    Call Cattle Visions, they have sold some semen to someone. What type of cows where you planning to breed him to? My Simmental experience is very limited to Meyer and Meyer sons out of Ohlde cows. Keep thinking I will run out of them, but breed some every year...we are now doing it in reverse, I...

    Opinions on calf

    Like him right now. Lots of bone, looks like he has a giant foot. Would love to see him belly down a bit with age. Looks steer straight to me, but they all seem to anymore.... (thumbsup) With that kind of bone, if he doesn't belly down and doesn't have that cute fuzzy steer look and is not too...

    Herd Bull Time

    Like the replacement heifer. Dumb question, why is she so long toed? You know she is really solid when negative me notices that first by the way... (lol)

    Nice looking bull. What is the extended pedigree?

    New pasture seeding, variety suggestions?

    Not a grass guru, but it is nice in our situation to winter dry cows on stockpiled native grass with minimal protein supplement and calve them out on it. By stockpile I mean that we do not graze it after Aug 1 until frost (in our part of Texas Nov 15th or so). Our mixture between native grasses...

    Pickups

    I have been in a Dodge diesel of some form since 1994. I drive a 2002 most days. It has 230,000 miles and all I have replaced was the clutch at 225,000. The clutch was still good, bearings (throwout) in center shelled out. It has not been babied, I have driven it like I stole it since it left...

    Injured calf, anything to do?

    We have had to amputate toes because of foot rot. Not a pretty picture, we have never kept one, but they can graze and function...Show career out of the question...

    Who 2....

    Should get smokes, blacks, or black and whites since Who 2 is homo black.

    Cattle Marketing

    That is funny, I don't care who you are.  (lol) I see the point in not wanting partners, however I do very selectively partner on a few head. Examples ranging from neither of us had enough money so we pooled resources, to a friend that had some good calves out of a particular cow and he thought...

    Stter Champions: North vs South

    I agree totally with your post. I would add why would you feed a good Char in Ok when you can send him to Texas and sell him for good money?

    grizzly?

    Loved Theobald 969, but he is a PHAC, think he was out of a Stinger cow?

    Lautner Farms' Semen Catalog

    Along the same lines, isn't Ali Solution PHF in catalog and a PHAC on the website? Which is it?

    pulling calf to early?

    I have a club calf background therefore my view is skewed somewhat. Pull a little early and the heifer (at least I hope this is the situation, it still embarrasses me to pull a normal presentation calf out of a cow, will likely have some trouble releasing the placenta. Pull to late, a year's...
