Anyone else read the proposed changes to the way cattle will be registered and classified in the future?  If I’m reading it correctly they’re going to issue fractions based on percentages and numbers of parents previously registered. And it looks as though they may have two separate herd books...

We put our bull Sublime in a post a year or so ago. He’s now been collected and his first calves have hit the ground and most are weaned now. They have been better than expected. We used him on a wide variety of heifers and cows and only had one pull due to presentation. Birthweights were 65 to...

Quite a few years ago now a friend flushed a really good Ali/Kadabra/Total Play cow to Who da Man. They sold all of the bulls off and most of the heifers, one of those back to Winegardner and she was the Champion Chi in 2012. The following year the put the last heifer calf through an online...

We’re collecting a young bull right now, just over 10 months, he’s freezing high quality semen, but not passing post thaw morphology. Any recommendations on getting his post thaw count up? 

Last year we decided to try something out of the ordinary for us.  We have always been a big fan of Bob Agle and his bulls over the years and we have a 4 frame MAB cow that really needs some added frame and a cleaner front, so we decided to use Agle's bull Bad Medicine on her.  I have talked to...

Have an 8 year old Who da Man x Kadabra that I will be flushing this spring. Looking for recommendations, she is 28.5% Chi and 3/8 Maine.  We have flushed her to Troubadour once before and bred her that way once.  I just put the last embryo in and hoping it sticks.  Her Maternal Perfection calf...

Over the years we have had several cows that stamped their calves with a certain look or type.  Currently we have a Maternal Perfection cow and her Uno Mas calf that are nearly identical, was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  The cow is 4 nearly 5 and the heifer is almost 2.  The...

Went out a few weeks ago to feed and when checking cows noticed that one of them was rectally prolapsed.  I put her in a pen inside of the barn and called the vet, by the time I got back to her she was back to normal and for over 4 weeks now not a sign of her prolapsing again.  Just worried...

Just had our first Hammertime calf out of a Maximus cow.  The pictures are at 3 days.  Really like him, stout, hairy and built right.  Birthweight was 81 lbs.

Rodgers posted on their blog yesterday that Fu Man Chu had to be put down due to some digestive problems.  They are raising the price to $60. 

We bred a pretty good heifer almost 2 years ago to Uno Mas and have been really happy with this calf since day one.  She has been out on grass all summer and fall and we just brought her back home.  So impressed with the her doability, overall dimension and rib shape.  Looking forward to what...

I see that there has been a substantial amount of interest in this bull, so when I saw this I thought it might be beneficial to post it.  60 day Lease on Red Revolver, selling on SC tomorrow.

We had a Fu Man Chu out of a Dirty Harry x Full Flush/Total Play cow this spring and we've decided to keep her.  She is a freak!  We hope to use her to make really good steers, she's jam packed with muscle and bone and is very sound.  I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with the...

We have been using the standard estrous synchronization protocols for quite some time and have not had any problems pulling cows out of anestrous and them starting heat cycles.  This year, most of our cows are either slow coming our of anestrous and not having visible heats or coming out really...

We came to the end of our breeding season last year and I have always wanted to use KASS Kojack, so we have a pretty good Amazon (Simmi) cow that we use as a recip so we put a unit in her and got the resulting calf.  Came really small about 65 lbs, a heifer, a week early and was up with a ton of...

We bred one of our second calf heifers to SWAG last summer and are really pleased with the results.  Probably the best clubby bull calf we have ever had.  Stout, hairy and has a great disposition.  Breeds similar to Monopoly, with a little more soundness.  I have posted some pictures at 2 days old.

Thought this was pretty good especially considering where it came from.  Pretty much right to the point. Thanks Jeff!!

Anybody have any experience with this bull. Planning on flushing a plus cow to him.

Here is a picture of our first Onset calf, hope the rest are this good. 70 lbs and lot of vigor, 2 days overdue

Unfortunately this heifer was a twin to a bull. Probed her and did the blood test and confirmed Free Martin.
