How long can a heifer be in standing heat? Have one that was standing at 7:00 this morning, watched her all day with nothing after1:15 pm so we bred her at 7:00 tonight. Should have been almost 6 hrs after last sign of standing. and just now, two hrs later she's standing still. Next question...

Just tried my I-phone and it did not work.

COWBOY FOR PRESIDENT you would have my vote

Sent you a pm

Me and my son went last year and learned a lot. He really gave my son the confidence to do it himself. And now you can't stop him from clipping. And he's even getting better. If Mr. Steirwalt is on here I for one would like to thank him. He is a very good teacher and person.

Hope everyone is ok, it looked like it was bad down there.

Only have seven cows and heifers but are planing on breeding all to Joe. I have really liked the ones that I have seen.

that was really neat. And beautiful contry, I would love to live in country like that.

(welcome)

Bob     They look like they are doing good. I'm a little jealous, mine are standing in mud. I guess that will help build muscle Lol. How did the trip go to get the bull?

Wish I could afford something like that.

What is everones thought on the normal weight for yearling heifers? At what point do you think it starts to tell the truth about age?

We too just got home. Had a good time ,only got to meet the Nelsons. Thought they were really nice folks, also made shore to pic up some Joe semen. Maine sale went ok, the bulls averaged around 3200.00, and the heifers were around 2250.00. If I wrote everything down right.

Our two year old had her northern improvement today. It was a 110lbs bull calf,really hard pull. Both seem ok. Just got done tubing the calf, he wants to get up but hasn't yet. Will get pics in a couple days.

Was this out of Rosie?

Would it look like that and how quick does it usually happen.  She was fine on Sunday when washed and clipped. How long till the hair starts to come back?

It is more like normal dry skin with no scabs or flaking. Not hot to the touch or anything like that. Just no hair. Seen that Knabe and this is not near as funny to me but such is life. So if anyone is looking for a good heifer let me know.

Well, change of plans.washed the heifer today and she has big bald spots. about a week ago we put out lime by the door that they walk into the barn.  When I washed her today she had dried lime/mud on her  where the spots are.Had the vet look at it  and he said she probably got burnt from the...

Yes we have, she was Jr. Heifer calf champion at KILE and Pa Farm Show. Hate to sell her but can't keep them all. And we need to get a name started. We have a 2007 full sib due any day to Northern Improvement that we can't wait to see.

She has only gotten better  since January. She still has hair that most would kill for.  And Dylan complains that it's too much. Gaining good she weight 925lbs today. So I hope we make out OK at the sale. Looking forward to meeting a lot of you over there. Stop by and introduce your self.
