    Flushing to multiple sires

    i have seen something like this done in hogs, take a good white-line sow and AI her with a white boar and a hamp boar, when the piglets come then you can easily tell who sired who. i guess with the flushing, it would work on a red cow bred to a red bull and a homo black bull  :-\ JWW

    Darkhorse vs. Style

    Dream On semen

    ABS has 3 criteria for grading semen quality that they sell : Prime, Choice and Choice +, Prime is the highest quality, Choice is BELOW Prime so it is lower quality, however like i stated before it still meets the standards of the industry.

    Dream On semen

    it is at $100 like previously said, i had heard from a decent source that  he was throwing some choice semen, this is below ABS's high quality standard of semen, but is still higher quality than industry standards, should work for AI but should be cautious with flushing  :-\ so if you buy some...

    From bad to worse

    hydration! if he is nursing and hydrated, prognosis would be fairly good , have the vet IV him or get him to do intraosseous fluid therapy (some vets will do this some don't)  usually as a last resort JWW

    Heifer Issues Need Advice

    agree with braunveih - if a heifer i sold did this i would make it right, depending on who you bought the heifer from might do the same, contact them and tell them the situation, if they are a respectable breeder and value you as a customer, you shouldn't have to worry. depending on the...

    Is this a good problem?

    get good shots of your calves when you advertise them and if they stick out as good, as you say people will buy quality no matter what. You can say your herdsires pedigree, like a Meyer 734 grandson out of a Who daughter or somthing to that sort for what ever he is. i would definately figure...
