When you say CIGAR hasn't proven good to you, you're meaning he's not working on your cows, right?  I will add Bluegrass to the list of possibilities, I like what I see. It's also an added plus that I have a Genex guy right down the road ;D  I'm shocked there's not been any Firewater...

What do you think the chances are of getting a 100+ lb calf out of Bud Heavy?  I'm a big fan of the bull, and would much rather have a heifer born at the weight than a bull calf.  Bc I would more than likely end up steering a bull calf that had a BWT that heavy.

Thank you for all your replies and suggestions. I do like the Sparrows bull. I'm seriously considering both of these as well Bud Heavy http://wccharolais.celect.org/ccc-bud-heavy-903-pld-et Keys All State  http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1CH00962&lang=EN Thoughts on...

Notice the  ;)    If I was that afraid of buying something that wasn't going to work,  I wouldn't be in this business.  However,  it is quite annoying anytime a cow does not stick to ai, but there is no guarentee. I have an oahe wind daughter to breed back this winter.  She's a super long and...

I'm interested to see how much it will sell for.  Thanks for the heads up on the signing fee; that's one thing that would've slipped my mind before purchasing.  Freddy,  I had considered your offer. But now,  I'm wondering if your trying to sell me bad semen. ;)  I paid high dollar for 3...

How much does Cigar semen cost right now? What's the average bid/ unit at auctions?

I look forward to their sale.  It's always filled with great cattle and a good time.

I used Breathe Easy on my Monopoly heifer.  I'm thinking of breeding her back to Excel 80. I-80 x pb shorthorn bull owned by the Doub and Lane families of IN.  70# bw on the bull.

Ok,  so let's talk money.  Money spent vs. Money saved when you build one yourself vs a cool calf complete pkg. My husband is an hvac pro,  so he could get ahold of some lightly used air handlers,  condensing units , etc..  so keeping that in mind also,  which would be the better option?  And...

I bred my monopoly heifer to breathe easy.

I'm thrilled to have 9 straws in my tank!  <rock>

I just sold one this week for $2.35/lb hanging wt.

He is very impressive.

We will be there Thursday night! Any advice for this rookie?

My cattle get clipped for $35/head and fit $25-$35/head.  This guy has years of experience and every job is done like they are his own cattle and he is the one showing!

Oh, I love that stuff! We used to use that on our dairy cows!

I'm not really good at pics and getting them uploaded, otherwise, I would.  I can never seem to get them the right size. The flies have been horrible lately!! I bet you're right; I bet that's what it is.  The flies weren't really that bad while it was scorching hot.  It has cooled off here a...
