    Breeding I-80 Heifers

    We bred our I80 heifer to TLM Bouncer and she had a really nice heifer calf.  Maybe not quite pretty enough to be a big time show heifer, but extremely cowy. We sold an I80 heifer and they bred her to BC Lookout and she had a very nice calf as well.

    What are the dispositions like on these cattle?

    Here is an interesting article that I found online!!!

    I'm pretty sure that it was Schaake that judge the NM State Fair in the late 90's and use a yield grade 5 steer to win it.

    BC Eagle Eye

    Would SAV Brilliance be a better choice?  I think you still can get sexed heifer semen

    BC Eagle Eye

    We are looking to use sexed Angus semen to add some depth of body, fleshing ability, milk and udder quality, to some young Maintainer cows.  I used BC lookout in the past with good results and I was thinking of using BC Eagle Eye.  How does he breed, add or lack? or is there a better option that...

    I-80 heifers

    This is our I80 right after she calved this spring.  It is the only one we had, but I really like her.  She has a really nice Bouncer heifer calf that we are going to show and keep as a replacement.  She milked well and did a nice job.  We bred her back Direct Hit.  I have another bred heifer...

    Old Cigar Pb Maine Bull

    I never used him, but I did see him out with cows when he was 11 years old, and he looked like a prime 2 year old bull out there chasing cows.  He was cleaning up about 50 cows and looked really good.  The fellow that had him said he had great libido.

    Stainless Steel Bull

    We had about a dozen calves out of him the first few years he was out.  He added bone and body, look was pretty good, structure was pretty good.  Kept two daughters, they milked terrible and were out of good milking cows.  I culled them as 4 and 6 year old cows for being open.  Fat, sorry...

    Rat Tail breeding questions

    I thought he would work on some TH carrier cows to get some smoke show calves, but they were really plain, very poor hair, average bone, average muscle.  The steers were at best, average county fair steers.  If you wanted to use him, it would be to make smoke cows, and then breed them clubby. ...

    Dr. Who

    They only put up a little bit of 5 million sexed Dr. Who semen.  Back then they sold it for $350/straw.  I don't think Habager has any anymore.  I did see one unit sell online about a year ago.  I think it brought about $500.

    Rat Tail breeding questions

    We used 15 units of MT/HLS Lead On on clubby type cows 5 or 6 years ago and had one rat tail calf born.  When I researched rat tails back then the article that Knabe posted was by far the best explanation that I found.  We fed ours out and put her in the freezer (to bad, if she had hair and a...

    An idea for show feed

    I plugged your mix into my ration balancer and assuming the ration is 1/4 corn and the protein pellet is a commercial 34%, the ration comes out to be 13.2% protein As-Fed.  That is just a little high. Most of your brand name show finishers are 11.5 or 12% protein As-Fed.  You are also correct on...

    LIFELINE Maine Bull

    I agree, not a heifer bull.  We cleaned out our semen tank last year and bred 3 cows.  I think there are better bulls than him to use today. I was disappointed in the ones we got this year compared to some of the more current genetics.  We kept a daughter in 2009.  She milks average and has...

    Bojo- what sort of cow does he need

    Our experience has been the same.

    Bojo- what sort of cow does he need

    We have had 14 Bojo's over the last few years.  He will add bone, muscle, hair and good disposition.  We have never had a cripple, but they can get a little straighter than ideal.  Most of them don't have that really soft look that they really like today, so make sure the cow is deep flanked. ...
