We live in central Indiana . We wash once a week and rinse the other 6 days and we have hair just like the calves in coolers do. We raise herefords and the key is to keep them clean keep them under fans and work the hair . Every day for several hours a day. We had 5 head this summer and spend...

We quit tagging after a high dollar heifer caught her tag and tore a huge slice in her ear .

We feed it wet they seem to eat it better . Only time we feed it dry is if their stools get really loose it will help tighten them up . As far as how much we feed equal parts beet pulp to feed . Right now 2 scoops of feed 2 scoops beet pulp . If we are trying to hold one we will decrease feed...

We've fed Umbargers for years and love it. Also helps that it's only 15 minutes from home so the feed is always fresh sometimes still warm when we pick it up. Personally we like Lite 'em Up . Very happy with the results from this feed . its the same base feed as payload but higher fat and energy...

Had a similar problem last year . 20 straws of semen only 2 cows bred and 3 embryos from 2 flushes . Had our embryologist check a straw of the semen and found there was low sperm count and very low mobility. After talking to several others who used the same bull found out they had the same...

We slick our Herefords in early March all the way down to the knees but leave the belly hair just kind of even it up a little. After that we wash once a week and rinse the other 6 days. After rinsing we spray on double dip mixed with vinegar and olive oil hair conditioner . Then brush it in and...

A must for Herefords is getting their hair straight . We wash twice a week ( usually Monday and Wednesday ) then rinse the rest of the days . After rinsing them spray them with double dip vinegar mix (50-50) then spray them with olive oil hair spray ( you can get that at Walmart in the natural...

First let me say I've never done this but have seen it done . Put some super glue on it and glue it up a little or fold it over and glue it to itself . Saw a guy do this on a heifer the had a little extra navel in her

Cracker Jack X Durango cow is the one for us . It will be a full sub to this heifer we are showing now .

I agree he looks like a pretty nice bull , but I'm wanting pure bred only

Purebred only . The only reason we have any cross cattle is for recips.

We just had a Catapult heifer calf last week . Birth weight of 65 lbs out of a first calf heifer. That is the first Catapult we have had so waiting on a few more before we decide whether we were really smart or just got a low birth weight calf. My question is will Catapult add power to his...

We have a Cracker Jack heifer out of a double bred Durango cow that we raised . Really nice heifer placed 5 out of 10 at NAILE . Also did well at HBC. Only thing either judge has said was they'd like to "power her up" . So what bull would you guys suggest ? Was thinking about using Purple Milsap...

What are everyone's opinions on Kahuna? What kind of cows does he work best on?  What are the birth weights and do they come easy ? What kind of cows do the daughters make ? Do they milk?  Looking ahead to next year and wanting some honest opinions

She was 5th out of 10 in her class. We were pretty pleased especially since we raised her ourselves .

Here's another one

This is our January Cracker Jack heifer Sunday at NAILE

Personally, for $14 a bag I can buy Umbargers Lite em up or Payload . Which are both excellent feeds for show heifers and they are a complete feed . Other than maybe adding beet pulp . Just my opinion .

The youngest heifer is 10 months the oldest is 20 months . 4 heifers total on that ration. Getting all of them ready for Louisville next month . After that we will back them down a little just trying to get the look we want.

We are currently feeding it to our heifers and are really happy with the results . We have 5 heifers and a bull calf on it all are doing well . Feeding that, beat pulp, sure champ, and golden Flo . We are getting some nice cover and really putting some guts in them.
