    Double Stuff- Calving ease? Opinions?

    I calved a  bunch of Double stuffs back in the 90's and there is  no way i would use him on a first calf heifer.  Some of them can come big and not only that they are thick from the shoulders on back.  Just like one of his sons double vision those dont come little either. He did make good...

    Iowa Hawks WIN against Nay-Sayers

    I am a big iowa fan and was a little worried about GT speed and the triple option but that defense plays their positions and are excellent tacklers.  Doesnt hurt that Adrian Clayborn has become a stud at defensive end.  Sure glad he is coming back next year.  And you are right GT can not come...

    getting heifers to cycle?

    I have to agree with jbw is to keep them seperate.  but on my place i cant do that either.  so i feed them some extra grain. It may take a few mins everyday but once you get them trained to come in to the pen to the feed bunk they come running.  I also AI second calvers once and turn out with a...

    Pictures: Christmas Blizzard 2009!

Should be a long day tomorrow hopefully the old 706 tractor runs good so i...

    Prefect time for this weather!

    Just looked out the window and pulled up weather forecast and radar.  20 inches of snow here in nw iowa and winds 30 mile an hour gusting to just under 50 and low temps down to single digits.  So you know where the wind chill will be. Cows were huddled behind the barn and couldnt tell who was...

    Flushing a heifer (If you could answer the other 2 Please)

    Most embyo people will tell you not to flush a virgin heifer.  Like jbw said some have never bred back and i know from personal experience a few years ago that only got one to two eggs out of virgin heifers. I will not flush anything till she has had her second calf that way i also know how she...

    What to Flush to - new cow added

    I am wondering why you would flush her to heat wave when she is out of a heat wave cow.  Dont know if monopoly would have enough neck extension or power for her.  Monopoly will down size more than heat wave with out a doubt.

    TH and PHA in correlation with quality

    From my experience and i have some pha carrier cows but no th carriers. PHA will add bone and muscle over a full sib that is clean of the birth defect.  But are also larger at birth with the added bone and muscle. TH will add muscle and hair.  I have seen full sibs that are THC and THF and there...
