Does anyone have any ideas what this could be caused from? I've had crooked calves at birth before, but nothing this extreme before. She is getting around ok, but doesn't seem to be straightening up much like other calves I've had. Genetic defect or just cramped baby? Thanks

For those of you who raise club calves, this question is for you.  Do you have a cut off that you consider a cow too small to produce club calves?  I have a few heifers that never got very big, and I wasn't sure if its worth the time to breed them.  One is a General Lee out of an Irishman...

Anyone know what breed he's registered as, or even if he is registered?  Can't seem to find it listed anywhere.  Thanks

Has anyone here used Who's Cool?  What kind of results did you get?  Any recommendations on what kind of cow to use him on? Thanks!

If anyone is in Denver, I would love a pic of the Maine bull Kingmaker's backdrop.  We printed it at our shop and I just want to see it all put together, so I thought I'd ask, just in case someone could get a pic for me!  Thanks!!!

If you can clone bulls from frozen semen, and I'm not 100% sure you can, why hasn't anyone cloned some of the old greats?  If you have semen in the tank from an old deceased bull, and for discussions sake, let's say the owner is deceased also, would it be legal to have that bull cloned? ...

If anyone is thinking of selling calves to Trausch Farms, I'd like to warn you to get your money up front, before anything leaves the farm.  Apparently, they don't feel obligated to pay for calves, even after they've been sold and their show careers are long over.  It's been one excuse after...

Just curious who everyone uses to do their genetic testing?  Cheapest? Fastest?  Thanks!

Here is a pic of a March heifer I have.  She's been in heat twice already that I know of.  My question is if she could be cystic already?  I love her except for the high tail head. I know donors tend to get high tail heads, just wonder if that could be a sign, along with her early heats, of...

I have 3 cows I want to flush... a lot.  My problem is I don't have the cash to do that much flushing, and due to the drought we've had for the last several years, I don't have many cows left for recips.  I don't just want to sell all the embryos, I want to start rebuilding my herd with calves...

I have a cow that has a terrible udder, huge teats,  just plain ugly!  I'm tired of messing with it every time she calves, so I'm going to flush her.  Any suggestions on a clubby bull that throws really nice uddered females?  How are Eye Candy daughters as far as milk and udders? 

I know this subject used to be on here all the time, but tonight, I'm too tired to look for it.  Could someone please share the information, or point me in the right direction to the forms and place to send the blood samples?  The purple top tubes I remember.  Thanks! <deadhorse>

Anyone planning on attending any sales coming up in OK? 

Anyone going to the Rockin J Sale? 

How long should you give someone to get a check to you, for your calf, before you start doing something about it?  Big name = busy, I know, but we're talking months, and now I'm getting no response to my e-mails.  Should I worry?  Too late, already am..... 

Anyone been checking out the onlline sales?  I've already found 7 or 8 heifers I'd like to add to my herd.  Too bad we don't have any grass or water or I'd probably have to spend some money.  I could put together an awesome set of charolais Xs from Trauschs!

Anyone else getting lots of early calves?  Our cows aren't supposed to start calving until Sept 1, but we're probably already 1/3 done!  Watched SUNUP (OK State show)  and they did a piece informing those of us in the heat to be ready early, because studies they've done show the heat seems to...

A couple of quick scenarios... Gray Charolais X cow bred to purebred Charolais bull =  ???  Color possibilities Purebred Angus cow bred to purebred Charolais bull = ???  Color possibilities I know what I think is possible, but a set of twins has me confused... searching for the answer.

What's everyone's favorite show cattle publications?

The govenor of OK has asked that we all pray for rain tomorrow.  I was hoping we all could pray for everyone that is in desperate need of rain tomorrow, and everyday for that matter.  No hay and no water is going to equal no cows.  :'( Thanks
