    Any tips on momless baby calf??

    Bottle feed him every 4 hours (from when you get up to when you go to bed, don't do it at night) for like a month and give him a raw egg in his bottle. That seems to help anyways. Electrolytes help also if he starts to get sick but I don't think you should start cramming things down him, he...

    Has anyone used HRF Hairy? I would like opinions on calving ease.

    The competition had some at our fair. I thought they were plain and had holes in their backs. I believe they had bad legs also, but it was a few years ago. From what I saw I wouldn't use him, they were just too plain

    First Smilin Bob calf *New pics*

    You aren't excited or anything are you  ;D The calf looks really good, lots of bone and thickness. Looking forward to seeing what he looks like in a few weeks. Thank you for the update

    Going at it too hard?

    You are supposed to feed 3% of the body weight.  800lbs x .03 = 24lbs a day, =12 lbs a feeding. If you want to get the most utilization from the feed, feed three times a day at a rate of 8lbs a feeding. Feed every 6 hours ex.  6am, 12pm, 6pm. That should help with the weight gain, careful with...

    One in a million

    It was a different cow. She bred back 25 days after calving last year. The One in a million cow isn't bagged up enough to calve in 10 days. Will keep posted if she goes over 10 though (20 from now), that would be a great suprise. Does anyone have any photos of that bulls calves anyways?

    One in a million

    It wasn't that cow, it was a cow that calved and then bred back 25 days later. Talk about productive, I totally ruled her out for calving this early.

    One in a million

    Not a clue, I will post when I know. My dad just said a black cow calved up a field and there are only 5 of my cows up that field and she is the only one that would be able to calve at that date. Weird though, I bred her on the 20th of april and saw her being followed around by the bull 38 days...

    One in a million

    I had a cow calve today and if she took AI she is 10 days early. The cow is a G13 structure x simmi.Has anyone else had cows go early to this bull? We had a destroyer calf come 10 days early last year out of an angus cow so hopefully that is the case.

    Anybody seen any of the bulls going to Denver?

    I really liked the fast freddy bull, from the photos, any idea of his pedigree, structural soundness? How do you order seman from these bulls for this breeding season?

    Monopoly clones

    So, I have always wondered this about clones.... when you breed your cow to a clone, do you need to bother about the phenotype at all if you are happy with the originals phenotype? Unless one has bad structure or something like that I wouldn't think it would matter. The monopoly clones are...

    Angus bull "Pioneer"

    I don't think he was trying to be malicious, just trying to pound it in that the bull isn't crazy. I didn't interpret anything he said as rude, you get the same opinions from breeders, in regards to their cattle...........but then again, I'm not overly sensitive so......... I imagine it gets old...

    aj is banned?

    As far as the bullying thing goes, SH you log on and knock down karmas all of the time. You waited until two weeks after you and I had a nice little "discussion" and then you knocked mine down with the lovely little note "you were in the wrong let it go." Apparently you didn't think I would...

    aj is banned?

    There is a big difference from "Sugar coating" everything and being obnoxiously rude and disrespectful. That is a line you enjoy walking. I highly doubt anyone has physically threatened you, you seem to be a bit dramatic, but by all means, post it if you aren't lying. Jason you have done a...

    Steer Running Away

    barbed wire, three strands on top and one on bottom should fix him. Get him away from the horses also.

    poppin hair

    If you don't trust yourself not to take too much off, put some long guards on your clippers. Not 1 inch long, like 3-4 inch guards or about 1/4 shorter than her hair is. By clipping in this manner, you give her more balance and uniformity. I clip mine out like this before a show, about two...
