    Online Auctions Rigged?

    If you are involved in selling show steers in the 1000-1500 range and think you're doing it for the money, you've got bigger problems. Jeff, can you clarify this statement.

    chute hammock

    Here is a picture of the one my wife made.  I don't know what it is made of, but I'm a big guy and it holds me just fine.  She sewed a couple of pockets into the side, for your keys, phone, etc. We also put the bars a notch higher at the head gate, so that you are on a slant.  I was supprised...

    Lautners?

    I have been buying semen from Matt for the past 4 years.  The reason I keep buying semen from him is easy.  Customer Service, Customer Service, Customer Service.  I have never purchased semen from anyone who has helped me market my calves like Matt has.

    Who is using Bodacious this spring?

    I wasn't planning on using any new bulls this year, but when I saw him at Hawkeye, I was very impressed.  We purchased 5 units to try.  We will be using alot of Bojo, and seeing that his semen value is on the rise, we wanted to compare him to his best son and see if Bodacious will replace him.

    CIDRs and vaccination

    I did that once about 10 years ago.  Worst 1st service conception rate I ever had.  Never again.  We vaccinate atleast 3 weeks before breeding, 30 days would probably be even better. Scott

    Tazz

    I have one taz cow left and absolutely love her.  Had a couple others over the years.  Very deep bodied, easy fleshing, sound, great profile, lots of milk with great udders.  The two things you have to watch with Tazz is, he will take away some bone and thickness.

    Steer Feeding Question

    Drop down to 11 or 11.5 protein.  Excess protein can burn some fat.  5% fat should be enough, but if you want to add some more, do not add more than .25#. Scott

    Luck using two different sires on a Flush

    Freddy, What order did you put the semen in, in relation to standing heat?  All at the same time? Or were they at 12 hour intervals? or something else? Just curious if time of semen placement might have something to do with it.
