    Gestation date question

    It seems like everything I ai bred, with the exception of the dr who granddaughter, has gone about 10-13 days late. He just has really big ears to be an angus, I'll ride out and get a photo this afternoon. The rest of the cows that were AI bred when she was and would of bred back when she did...

    Gestation date question

    I had to go find him with a horse, so no photo. He has awfully big ears, he looked like he has an angus butt, the hair wasn't too impressive (I was trying to use process of elimination) It was the neighbors bull, I bought the cow bred and she was AI'd on July 11 and the following heat cycle the...

    Gestation date question

    What is the gestation for maine cows? We have a cow who calved yesterday and was AI bred July 10th, so she's either a little late or alot early. The calf is average size so I'm thinking late. The calf should be a mercedes benz if the ai took, angus if the bull got her

    Mr. Upgrade Simmi bull

    lol, I bought 5 sexed units of him to use on big black angus cows, just like you, everything I heard said he's perfect for that type of breeding and the calves come small. I did learn something though, with his seman, when you get into the cervix plunge gently or else you bend the straw. We...

    Feeding a commercial calf to show quality questions ????

    If he doesn't have hair and you aren't striving for it, go with what works and add some rolled corn. My suggestion to you and all my 4h kids is to weigh as soon as possible, re-weigh in 30 days and find your adg. Once you find your adg figure out how many days until fair, multiply that number by...

    Feeding a commercial calf to show quality questions ????

    stop feeding alfalfa you are just growing him on it. Start giving him minimal hay (if he gets runny add more hay) you can add oil to his feed, lots of other advice, but my biggest is get rid of the alfalfa. Are you feeding him 24lbs/day of grain?

    Take a look and help me pick a bull

    I think this stud would work excellant, http://www.selectsiresbeef.com/index.php?option=com_php&Itemid=114&id=79&breed=Brahman we could make some brafords ;) But seriously, I like the hereford steer I think shelby will do really well with him at the fair. I have a heifer (who I bought) out of...

    NLC Mr. Upgrade calves

    Thanks for the updates on him, I ordered him for myself and a 4h'er and the actual bw made me nervous. Pardon my ignorance, we typically breed Angus bulls to our angus cows and we don't follow every single breeds result and don't care about show results. The plan is to use him on pb angus cows...

    PETA is at it again!!

    My husband worked on a smaller pig raising farm (about 100 head) and when we were in college discussing farrowing crates in a lecture he told me that without the crates the pigs would eat every baby they had. They just don't know better. I see nothing wrong with, and neither did he, leaving them...

    Bojo

    So besides topsires, is there anywhere else you can order Bojo semen? Is he still tied up in court or whatever that deal was?

    PETA is at it again!!

    wouldn't it be an interesting experiment though? I've always wondered what would happen. I think they'd be eating their pets by the time the year was up. Too bad we can't control the imports as well, and basically starve out the tree huggers. We'd have to come up with a system where people in...

    dirty harry

    I'll try to get ahold of them this evening, for curiosity's sake, what who is a good replacement, along with his brother? I used him on a pb angus cow and they clicked and a 1/2 sim 1/2 lim and they clicked so I was going to breed him to just about everything in relation to those two

    PETA is at it again!!

    Wouldn't it be awesome if we (food producers) could all just stop producing food for one year (only enough for our families) and see what would happen. Or just ship everything overseas.  They might start little "community gardens" but I doubt the gardens would get them through the winter. I...
