    Any thoughts on JF Milestone?

    I've heard that he is working best on smooth made Dream On daughters, at least that was observed in his first calf crop.  I'm sure he will work on other cows, but that's the type he clicks with.  I believe strongly in the use of EPD's in genetic selection (my hubby has a PhD in livestock...

    Favorite Calf!

    This one is dear to my heart...lost her 3 weeks after having her first calf (twisted gut).  She was a purebred Simmental ET calf that we raised and went on to win her division at the American Royal and the North American.

    False Labor?

    I agree with CAB's experience on this one and the best thing to do is stay on the side of caution and call your vet, especially if you think there is any chance that this cow is 10 days overdue instead of 11 short of her due date!  However, I have seen cows act in a similar manner when their...

    Ag Teachers Better today or back in the day?

    Sadly, the FFA advisor at our local high school calls FFA "Fun For All" and has basically turned it into a social club.  Mostly kids from the city join FFA so that they can take the annual trip to a fun destination, which by the way, is totally devoid of an educational focus of any kind, let...

    Built Right

    Built Right sexed semen never worked for us, and according to some other people on SP, it wasn't an isolated situation.  After using 13 straws, we had 18 unfertilized/0 fertilized eggs on a flush (used 6 straws), and 1 for 5 on AI use (some we used 2 straws on), we got 1 bull calf and no...

    Idea on Breeding Heifer

    I should have qualified that comment about bone and thickness. The reports I have heard on him have come from Simmi breeders, so the bone and thickness may be coming from the cows.  However, I have heard the calves are good!

    Idea on Breeding Heifer

    I've heard that Silveira's Style throws quite a bit of bone and thickness.  He might work for what you are looking for. http://www.cattlevisions.com/Angus/Silveiras%20Style%209303.php
