This is a nice really nice looking calf but the weather here has just about changed my opinion of breeding towards hair as a trait selection until the pattern changes. My AccuWeather app tells me to expect up to 111 degrees today and for the second summer in a row I will be slicking baby calves...

Very simple, very cost effective and a good tool to provide the information in a manner for which it is intended.  Red top tubes from the vet cost next to nothing and I use a 6cc syringe with a small gauge needle attached to tail bleed. If you can tail bleed, you can collect the samples in just...

They are a very simple piece of equipment to fabricate and if there is a fabrication shop available there will be no difficulty in producing fan stands as good as what is commercially available. Students in FFA Ag shops across the country have made them by the thousands (including my students...

Wife had knee surgery a week ago on Monday (MCL tore in two places) was opening the gate on Friday of the same week.  Pickup has steps and provides good physical therapy! I'm just afraid she won't be much help in the lot tomorrow chasing' the reciepts around swinging her crutch while we are...

It's pretty obvious if you enlarge the photo and look at her hooves she cannot be a "Walk's On Water" she seems to be sinking in the mud a little to me!  Possibly I'm just a little jealous of the rain...she looks nice.

The worst thing was having to stand on a bale of straw to clip the toplines. But, since it was before everyone used chips, there were plenty of bales laying around! 

I've been slipping my wife's lap dog chocolate on the sly for 12 years. Dang thing is like the energizer bunny. Otherwise I would be interested....

One more picture of a spring calf. Thought this may be interesting as he is a Big Guns (Lautner) x Heatwave. I really liked the breeding of the Big Guns bull as well as his photo in the semen catalog, although I must admit I have never seen him.  This young Heatwave cow has worked well with...

I was not paying close enough attention, the red cow had the steer in 2004, not 94. We put in 17 eggs in late May the week the heat wave in Oklahoma began. Three stuck, two AI's stuck, the rest of the spring calvers shut down and would not cycle in the heat. They went to town to buy hay for the...

Thanks. The red cow is a Red Dog x Black Dice Maine that raised the Black and White spotted grand in Louisiana in about 94 - 95 under Rash. She's a little big in her frame for today but does a nice job as a momma cow.  The black cows are off a set of Angus x amerifax cows bought for receipts...

Looking at the calf pictures and attempting to figure out the correct way to post pictures. So here is my attempt... The dark colored heifer is a Smilin Bob X Full Flush. The Full Flush dam has had a Breed Champ steer at OYE, Reserve Breed Steer at OYE and Champion Cross Prospect at State Fair...

Hairy Bear X Heatwave, Monolopy X 734 Steers for Sale August 28th Monopoly x 734 steer and a Sept. 7th Hairy Bear x Heatwave steer for sale. Job has prevented me from getting these calves ready to be viewed until now.  Calves are real gentle and ready to go.  Hairy Bear calf is pictured...

At that price I believe I would use conventional in a IVR flush with reverse sort on the semen. 

Another possible option is to utilize IVR. You can breed your donor then after 20 days begin to flush I believe up to every 2 weeks post breeding up to 100 days of preg.

I would say this "outfit" is still in the business since they not only have The President to their credit but they also bred Who Made Who as well as Glitter N' Gold the sire of those two bulls...and others

Plan is to be there on the 13th & 14th for the display bulls and the rest of the cattle in the "yards". If you have not seen it, you owe it to yourself to go.

Had show cattle under misters many years ago before the current style of mister nozzle became popular.  Due to the stress on the local water systems had to go back to the "old style method" to keep the calving barn cool in sw OK this summer as the systems had to run to many chemicals to run...

Herd size is a moving target in our herd right now. Hope we can keep 30-40% of the cows but not looking good. If they miss to the AI breeding, they hit the trailer.  Any trouble calving, they go on the trailer.  Calves out to the clean-up bull rather than ET, you and your new baby get a ride to...

Cong. to your daughter Doc.  My [i]youngest[/i] (of three daughters) graduated from the University of Okla. with a BSN last week so I can tell you to enjoy your time while you can because they will be grown before you know it! 

Cowboy, I believe you have stated before but I do not remember, at what period of the standing heat do you breed donor's?  My embryologist calls for the standard 1 straw at standing heat, 2 - 12 hours later and 1 - 12 hours after second breeding.
