The heifer is still progressing, I would say like the others that she needs some more groceries. Get your muscles going and brush her!!

I learned to clip by taking a picture of a really well fit heifer to the barn and tried my best to imitate what the fitter did to that animal. It may sound naive, but it worked well for me. Having a reliable set of clippers is important, something that you know how to use well and know exactly...

I've had the same issue and my vet suggested putting the CIDR in on the 21st day after calving and breeding on the completion of that sync. Day 1(8am): CIDR in and hit with Fertagyl. Day 7 (8am): CIDR out and hit with Estrumate. Day 9(12 pm): hit with Fertagyl and breed AI or bull

This is why I am cross breeding and not breeding club calves.

Maybe not the calving ease of Capiche, but JSF Gauge has been used on bigger heifers with success. He has an 88 lbs. birth weight, which in my opinion is fine for heifers.

I've used Capiche with success

Very cool pair of heifers! :)

I have used him on some Firewater daughters and have some very appealing F1 calves. They were all born below 80 lbs. (all of them bulls, now steers). I would agree that they need longer stride. They have had decent growth compared to Capiche's low WW. I'm pleased so far.

A really nice bull!!

I have some Combustibles due soon. I used him to strengthen hooks to pins. That is one of the main faults in my cow herd. I've also used Uno Mas in the past, they were no more than ok for me, inconsistent in my herd. Broker seems to be throwing some really sound patterned cattle with some added...

I've been successful in crossing Sin City (White Shorthorn) with Flechvieh type cows to get a showy calf in the result.

At our 4-H shows, no one is aloud to fit the animals other than the kids. The only help they can get is from other members of their 4-H club. The leaders, parents and other attendants to the show are not aloud to even put a comb to the animals. The punishment for this is disqualification of the...

Sullivan's carry a new comb that is made of a product that the glue doesn't stick to. I have recently started to love them. Since then I always used a regular steel comb.

I've had a calf like this, I've figured that it's because ther is so much weight up top and not enough muscle below. The one I had lived but was never terribly sound on his feet and legs. I gave selenium, AD and New Cells it helped I think

What is the semen worth if I were to sell it?

I was hoping for some calving ease and downsizing some frame, will he manage that?

I might fault him on his front wheels, but otherwise a stellar calf

I like what I see! Love the length and strength of top on them! <rock>

I am thinking of using him to produce some F1 Char crosses. How do you think he would work?

Good looking calves. I like Tom the best, he seems to have the most performance. Assuming that these calves are all about the same age. Just my opinion though.
