    GVC Maverick Heifer

    Thanks guys for the responses, always makes me feel good to get good comments on one that we raised. I just play with them for a hobby and don't get many people to see them without this site. Hope to find her a home but if not I am sure not afraid to breed her and raise one better. I agree the...

    Rookie ?? Sullivan Fogger

    I like using the little pump up sprayers most farm stores sell for spraying chemicals. They hold about half gallon of liquid.  Then hold the nozzle in front of the blower and apply as much of your sheen you want.

    Rookie Show Question

    I haven't seen the chart you are talking about but i have Dave Guyer's clipping video and watch it every fall just before i start on clipping.  He takes a yak and clips it to better than I will ever get one.  Well worth the investment if you want to learn. Then clip and clip often as you can...

    Did I screw up a breeding?

    We had a cow that came up open and was bred by the bull late one summer and decided to give her a lutyze shot and separated her.  If i remember right we gave the shot 5 days later and she calved on her due date to the bull and calf was fine. Check with your vet to be sure but i think you will be...

    question about simmi cows milk

    Sounds like mastitis.  Get with your vet and get her on antibiotics and keep given the calf milk replacer but he needs colostrum if he hasn't had any. Good luck.

    Clipping/Fitting Videos

    I have the Dave Guyer and Kirk Steirwalt clipping videos.  Both very good videos.  Dave's video starts with a steer that is as hairy as you will ever have and ends damn near show ready.  He goes over everything very thorough.  The Kirk one I have was before he started with weaver but it covers...

    Total Play?

    I bought a bred heifer that was out of him some 15 or so years ago and bred her to different Simmental bulls and had great luck with her.  Like I mentioned only have 2 grand daughters of him left but they still produce our top end calves year after year.  Rocky Balboa on one produced these...

    Total Play?

    I am not 100 percent but I saved this picture some time ago and named it Total Play.  There are several sons of Total Play that look just like this so this could be one of them.

    Total Play?

    I agree totally on the great mothers and attitude!  I have 2 grand daughters left that have an attitude.  They always have our top calves year after year and I have never had any trouble with the attitude of the calves come breaking time.  But until their calf is a couple of weeks old watch your...

    Maine -Simmy Cross

    I would say Steel Force is a good option, take a look at Griswold's past sale catalogs for other matings. GOOD LUCK.

    Calf pics

    Thanks very much for the great comments.  That is the only Jesse James we have had. Bred one other but she passed over.  This heifer is out of a small cow and the calf is starting to show signs of being small framed.  I still really like her but Jesse will not them bigger.  One thing I liked was...

    Calf pics

    Took a couple more pictures of the Bodacious steer.  He is different than anything I have ever raised. Not sure what he will turn into but he is already a pet. He is the first one to come up to you and loves being combed on!!

    Can't get calf to nurse...

    Hope it is too. Most of the time a calf will suck and just keep hammering once they start but I have seen it more than once one will just what I call snack just every little bit. Why they are this way I have no idea. And if that's what they are doing and the cow is a heavy milker you really cant...

    Can't get calf to nurse...

    If you are leaving her with mom all the time are you sure the calf isn't nursing some when you aren't looking. I have had that happen a few times.  The calf will act good but being the worrier I am if I don see them suck I get nervous.  One thing I started to do is my calving pens have tube...

    need to buy clippers- what do you recommend?

    I have a set of the andis light speeds and really like them not sure i have ever really had to have the lights on them though.  I recently got a set of the con air fx clippers. I really like how they balance in my hand but clipping with them causes my hand to go numb worse than the light speeds...
