We have had good success with it.  Several semen distributors now have the testing available as mentioned above, and we also pull blood from the tail.

Are you syncing them or trying to catch them in natural heat? 

Pics look great, neat marked calf.  I have two females we are considering breeding to Fat Butt, one is a Power Drive baldy!  My concern was the amount of white, but I think I will just take a chance and see what happens.  Also have an Invasion x Kandy Kisses donor that we are considering...

I have had a few sets of twins, born to different cows.  Everytime the mother took both, so I let nature do its thing.  In 2002 we weaned two bull calves off a larger frame Simme cow that weaned over 650/each.  They were both blaze face with opposite markings on their faces, like they were...

They work!  We use them 100% of the time on AI bred females. I would suggest syncing your herd, it will make your life so much easier every year when its time to breed your animals.  It should also make marketing a little easier as you will have 5 calves a year to market. On the show side you...

I would tour several facilities to see what you like best.

I have a Nikon that works great for us.  You want a camera with a fast shutter speed for taking good cattle photos, especially if you are looking for sale quality photos for a catalog.  A DSLR camera works best, but they are more than double, maybe you could find a used one on Craigslist or...

Never fed Show Chow to steers but have to our show heifers.  It worked great and I didn't notice any negative effects on their hair.  First year I fed Show Chow was 2008 and we took home banners at every show we attended with those females!

Does it have a turnover ball? How many miles? Automatic Trans? Why are you selling? Can you post interior and bed pictures and also where are you located?

Post some pics of her progeny.  Have you sold any of her daughters?

Personally wouldn't cut him today, but would give him a little growing time to see what you think of him as he gets a little age on him, when he gets a little bigger, past banding size, you will have a better idea on what you think.  Good luck!

I have tried several of the options you mentioned.  We used to have lots of mud problems ourselves.  We fixed the mud inside and around our barns by putting down filter clothe and covering with 4-6" of gravel.  It packs down on the filter clothe like concrete.  Not the cheapest thing we have...

Whats her price?

Your right, those heifers are great!  Best of luck at the sale!

We all want you to make straight A's and win banners!  Hopefully this thread and Hair Growth 101 will help you out a lot.  Some calves just grow hair better than others, but a lot of work pays off. You might have to get up earlier than you'd like, but if you are serious about making a go at...

When it comes to cattle, I love em all!  My family has had cattle all my life, mostly Angus or Angus x Hereford.  In 2001, I got to purchase my first heifers that were mine.  Neighbor down the road had 2 registered Simmental heifers for sale.  I can still remember walking into his barn and...

PM Price and Location

Yea I didn't have insurance on that female either.  Win some, lose some I guess.  Let me know how it turns out with the other eggs from this flush!

Get you some livestock insurance!  We bought a donor a few years ago that was one of 3 females with this mating.  Only one had been promoted heavy and had some outstanding progeny out there.  We purchased the donor, had someone call the day we bought her and say they would take every embryo we...

Just makes you mad thinking about it..... Hope they catch this jerk.
