    c-section effect flushing?

    If you have a problem with genetic defects in cattle DONT USE THEM.  But there are those of us that use them and know how to manage them by testing the offspring.  And as far as your comment about clubby people not worried about making  money you are so off based you need to step out of the...

    c-section effect flushing?

    The base of my cow heard came from Montana 17 years ago and were already carrying the PHA birth defect.  and this was just a commercial operation.  So to these birthdefects were around before they were in show cattle.  So commercial cattlemen were already dealing with this birth defect.

    c-section effect flushing?

    I have a cow that had a c section.  That year we bred her right back after she had the c section.  Then the following year we flushed her.  My biggest concern on a cow with a c section is getting them bred back that first year.  And birthweight is not an issue in the show steer business. ...

    Question on AI'ing

    what has worked the best for me is wait four to six hours after they are done messing around.  Which is about 18 to 20 hours after they first stand.

    What AI bulls are you using this season?

    Be careful with Rodman on clubby heifers.  He is not a calving ease bull on heifers that have birthweights.  I experienced that and so have some others.

    Everyones Best calf

    Sitting here pondering this one.  There is a few i could put in this category.  I would have to say they all are decendants of heat seeker on the sire side.  Heat seeker himself, heat wave and monopoly, walks alone.   On the female side  i can say  one cow worked great with heat wave and...

    How late

    Sorry to say i have had cows that were 10 to 14  days overdue in the past.  Alot of those were full throttles in the past.  Also depends on what calving dates you are using.

    Predator

    Was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of any predator calves.  any comments or pictures would be great.  Also what kind of cows is he working on?

    smooth sailing and unforgiven

    Double shot of full flush there probably doesnt help the structure issue or birth weight.

    BULLS AT STUD

    I was down there a month ago and thought one and only looked very good.  Only concern on him is hair for show cattle.  but he is double clean. Also thought hollywood looked very good for a mature  bulll.  Was very sound. Dr Who had a hard time getting around when i was down there.  Looked like...

    lutylase for synchronizing cattle

    I have heard of and tried using GnRh at breeding and have never thought it has made a difference.  and have been told different things from people on how fast it will drop the eggs. The best conception rates with any program is to breed after they are out of standing heat.

    ¿Add bone and hair?

    Sorry to say but i have seen s unseekers, point takens and eye candy calves that weighed over 95 lbs at birth. Any clubby bull can throw a big one depending on the cows genetics.  There is no sure fire clubby bull that will throw calves under 90 lbs all the time.

    DJ Salute vs. Mamma's Boy

    First thing is semen price.  DJ Salute has been dead for a few years and if you can find the semen it is 500 dollars or more. If it was the same price there would be no question Salute will make some awesome females and cows.  SOS is out of Salute and have and seen some very good calves out of...

    solid gold

    Seen one and it was not small at birth.  I would say 120 to 130 lb heifer calf out of a shorthorn x maine cow.  Very sound, good fronted, smooth shouldered but looks awful tall for just being born. The cow has had calves before that were bigger boned than this heifer.

    Let me ask you this - pics added

    If he is just a calf how do you know that  he is going to pass all of those traits on to his offspring?

    Calberta MCM Donor 9758 by Heatwave NEW PHOTO!!!!

    She looks good.  Maybe a little fat but deep bodied cow. I assume she is th negative since you bred her to killer instinct.
