As an avid bowhunter and cattle producer...this sickens me.  If this was my farm...watch out....I'd find them before the authorities!

Not much history at all here.....No one in my family has every made a "real" living from farming.  Its always been a "past time" with "in town" jobs.  I started buying cows 7 years ago and bought my first farm this last year at the age of 34.  30 cows and and a farm....oh and a day job.  Welcome...

Looks good to me!

I had insurance...but not what she was worth...I claimed about twice market price.....I don't like claiming too much on insurance! Me and you must have drank the same water at some point!

Thanks for the comments guys.  Lots of good things to think about here, learn from, and ask my embryo vet about. Just to mention, like I said before...won't cost me a thing to get the other 6 transfered as the vet offered to transfer those for free.  Also, trust me she is a diva in my...

Hey guys thanks for the thoughts.  I want to make one thing clear...I'm not bashing Monopoly....I know the semen is good.  However, there are a lot of "unexplained" things here that simpy are "unexplained".  The only way to possibly change the unexplained is to change the variables..thats why...

Maybe...u would think a vet/expert who does this for a living would not screw that up, but you never know.  He has offered to put the remaining embryos in next spring at no charge in his recips....so I guess we will see.  I want to flush her again next spring to Monopoly, but I am afraid to...

As far as heat is concerned, yes I'm sure some of them where implanted in "hotter" weather as I recall.  But they where not all done at the same time...over about a 3 week period...so I'm going to rule out the weather.  I don't know about the recip feed program.  I will ask about that.  That is...

Not to my knowledge, and I highly doubt it.  She was never shown and sold through a sale as a bred heifer (when I bought her).  One phone call and I can find out however.  Why you ask? 

Here's the scoop...or rather my terrible luck.  I have a cow that has been flushed as a virgin heifer before I bought her as a bred.  Two monopoly calves from that flush, both sold really well and the one steer won a major show this year (a jr. national).  So naturally I left her open after last...

For those of you that have experience either hosting a bid off or putting calves in a bid off...either spring or fall.  What is the going rate for the bredder hosting the bid off to charge for commision?  Keeping in mind that the hosting breeder does all the marketing, takes the risk of...

Bred 6 cows to My Turn got 6 calves.  Range from 16 days early little lamb to 7 days late 125lbr.  Most the others where in that 100lb range unassisted on time.  They are my best cavles.  The cows are sim/angus and sim/maine.  Aftershocks and C339U.  Will breed again this year...very pleased!
