Red, We actually had the early developments, of the tornado that hit Picher, OK, hit us on the highway. While traveling on the highway, my wife said "look at all those birds". I looked and soon realized..."Honey those aren't birds!!" I jerked the Suburban (full of my boys) off the highway. It...

RSC, thanks for the comment. If you only knew how hard it was to keep those hussies from eating on the hay!! But, the boys loved it.

My 3 yr old (Lane) has quite the vocabulary. He consistantly cracks us up. We tell him...Jesus loves you...He says, I know Daddy. We ask, who's Jesus' daddy...He says God. We ask where do they live...He says, In Heaven. So one night we were all eating Strawberry shortcake. I said, now this is...

Jill, I should clarify my statement. What I really was trying to say was this...It is alot less time consuming and easier to sync your cows for AI. I would love to have the time to natural heat them all. I just don't have that time and wish that I did!

Bradycreek, For the little extra $, I feel very strongly about syncronizing your cows. We put CIDR's in on a Wed night with a shot of systerellen (sp). The following Wed night we pull the CIDR's, give a shot of Lutalyse, and put Estrus Alert patches on. We pull all calves off on Thurs morning...

HeiferShower, I have 5 really nice heifers , all born around Feb. 14th. Almost Famous X EXT cow Almost Famous X Chill Factor cow Almost Famous X Meyer cow Manchild X Meyer cow Manchild X Angus (6306)

Since I started using a good mineral WITH probiotics, my normal yearly foot rot problems are gone. Your suggested treatment is common and the way that I treated it in the past. But, since the mineral, I haven't had any foot rot in two years.

When Monsanto's patent ran out, Round Up went down considerably. As we all saw. What happened was a multi-fold development. All the above reasons are very true. But, the biggest reason was this...Monsanto bought out most of the competitors that were selling the "generic Round Up". Our chemical...

Daniel, I had two Manchild calves around Feb 14 this year. The pics are at 1 month old. They are really turning out nice. Very thick and sound. Tons of hair. We clipped the head and neck of the baldie last week to see. She is much more clean fronted than she looks with all that hair. I used him...

Bull, 6 frame, bc of 6. Probably about 5years old. I once was darker haired but now have turned into a Blue Roan. I must be clubby 'cause I can't move too good. bad wheels. They still keep me around 'cause I still have the potential (on a good day) of covering a large herd.

I would lean toward High Cotton. A young bull that has thrown some awesome calves. At least check him out. Another good one is High Cottons sire...Legrand Reload.

Chambro, those good Meyer calves dont need stretching!!!!!

An 1100# steer is no harder to stretch than a horse. just hurts your back more!! front leg extended out forward and held for 20 sec. motion the forelimb above the knee to move the scapula (shoulder blade) around. grab the tail ( not tail head) and just lean back. calf will get used to this and...

Just talked to Yoakum. Ali semen is now priced at $300. He said the clones will be out and the price will slide a LITTLE. Thought this might interest some .

Knabe is right. I am a certified animal chiropractor. I work on horses, bucking bulls, and show cattle only. You would be amazed at the difference stretching makes on cattle. Exercise is essential. It has always amazed me how much time, energy, and money horse people spend making sure their...

If you have to use one from your list, I would use TC Freedom. Hard to say without actually seeing your cow. Totally agree with Rusty, would like to see you use something newer. If thats an option, I would use Mytty In Focus, or Dr J Analyst M250. Both are throwing some awesome calves...

Olson, I was going to say Hired Man too. But, I like Trausch and didn't want to be negative Totally agree with you though. That shoulder is pretty rough.

I have some really nice Almost Famous calves this year. Pretty darn consistant. Maybe just got lucky, but nice all the same.

Cab, thanks for the info on Kane's post. Funny thing is, I read and actually polled that post! Old age is getting me, I guess ??? Lots of good ideas. Thanks anyway.

Need some bull suggestions for my 3yr Heatwave cow. I don't have pic but will describe. She is out of a Meyer/Emblazon momma.  She is very deep, good bone, tons of hair. Where she needs the help is ... 1) needs some stretch to her neck- shes pretty clean fronted, just kinda steery necked 2)...
