I didn't mean to imply that I was out to get JPJ; I just used him as an example of how the % on the web site changed with the new system. As for Trump I had a grand son 4-5 years ago  that had all 100% on dam side and was listed as 92.5. That would lead me to believe he was listed aa 7/8 at time...

A problem with  chart; since the new registration system came out nearly all bulls  are listed as 100% shorthorn. Trump used to be 7/8 (maybe 15/16) but now is listed as 100%. My favorite is Jake's Proud Jazz. If you look at the pedigree 3 of the 4 animals at the grand dam or sire level have AR...

I use it 30 days after AI; saves the guessing on whether the calf is late AI or early clean up bull. I also use it on my fall calf herd as it is smaller and the breeding time is shorter so it is not as important to know how far along. I tested ~30 in July and total cost (test, vial, needles...

"I also challenge the members to address any concerns they have by talking individually with board members with an eye on mutually solving problems" I agree with the above. However I have a problem. Twice over the last 2-3 years  I have emailed a letter expressing a concern of mine to the...

It's only a crime if you are caught!

At what stage due you ultra sound? I was once told you could only ultrasound in early prenacy.

I used a Pretender son for two years. The first year was not too bad, the second year we were constantly pulling calves.

I just sent 28 samples to bio-tracking; my cost for postage, all supplies, and the test was about 3.65 per animal

I was honest once when I sent blood for pregnacy testing; it got part way there and then they wouldn't put it on the plane. A week later I got it back. Since then when they ask me if it is hazardous or liquid, I just say no. The biopryn site gives shipping instructions but I don't trust the...

I recently read article about the Epps Biting fly trap (www.horselineproducts.com). The article was singing the praises of how well it works.  Has anyone used it or know of anyone who has. All the testimonials on the web site are from Horse people, I'd  love to have something that would control...

I wasn't aware that Maines can be registered as 75% shorthorn. This makes my situation more frustrating. I took over a herd of 100% shorthorns but the papers hadn't been kept up. I had all the papers on the bulls purchased but not on the females. I had to start everything at 50% and then go to...

March price was $17 for a 50lb bag; now $24

How much are your mineral prices increasing? I just got new order and found price was 30% higher than last order in March. Is this normal or should I be looking for new supplier?

Haven't read entire thread so if this already posted sorry; Why not add another board for "anything goes"; keep one for cows; that way when in a hurry can just check what you are interesed in without sorting through a lot of other posts

There is only one thing for sure with a 12 year old daughter; it will get WORSE before it gets better. My daughter is now 24 and in second year of medical school but there were a lot of times between 13 and 17 that you wanted to send her back!

I have read several posts about "your cows show raise a calf that weans at 60% of the cows weight". ( a 1200 pounf cow = a 700 lb calf) Are you usually making this? I'm not and wondered if my cows are "bad" or if it is a unrealistic goal.

You will never convince me that the judges don't see the Pedigrees befoire the show and that it doesn't influence their decision.

The online registration works real well. Very easy to use. the registration paper came within a few days after I hit the "go" button. My problem has been getting AI certificates put in my account. The Semen companies say they have mailed them, on some Gwen acknowledged she received request; but...

I preg tested herd yesterday. Out of 36; 33 pregnant I had AI'd 15 before the bull and others just with bull for 80 days. Would you be satisfied with this result? Two non responders one year old so they went to feed lot; other a 2 year old with good first calf; I'll move her to fall calving...

"may be the only (correct me if I am wrong guys) Shorthorn operation that tests annually for Johne's disease " Is this true? I'm just small potatoes (55 shorthorn cows) and test annually for Johnes. I didn't know I was unique; I thought it was standard proceedure.
