Thanks! All are excellent milkers and good mothers. Like I said pretty good fertility overall. My herd is still small so trying to AI some of my better cows abs use some of my “not as showy” cows for recipients.

Thank you. As I stated, these are my first embryos so none of these guys have ever been recipients before. The one that was open was checked as fine, she just wasn’t bred for whatever reason. Of course all 3 will be checked beforehand to make sure they are good to go.

Hello everyone, It’s been a minute since I’ve last been on the wonderful Steer Planet, but I’m back with yet another question for y’all. So I’m buying my first embryos and I’m very excited to be doing so. But I have a question, how do you pick your recipient cows? I’ve got 3 candidates...

mark, really like the free for all bull as well, definitely will be looking into him. And really like that flushmate, Chelsie.

jconner, nice looking set of calves. Probably a little biased but really love that blue.

Really like that bull, nice and stout, and throws some good looking calves. Yikes, glad we haven't had any here. Though we have plenty of mud of course

jconner, good to hear. I'll definitely look into him some more. Hope my MAB granddaughter (Loaded 4 Bear x Front & Center) milks out okay, still deciding on what to breed her to. Would love to see some of your RWR calves if possible, sounds like you've got some good ones. Part of the reason as...

jconner2088, how have the heifer calves out of RWR been? Have you kept any as cows? I'm looking to get a good maternal cow base and would eventually like to breed more terminal calves out of them. I've definitely liked the majority of the Starburst calves that I've seen, and some of the bulls...

mbigelow, I will take a look at him again, I looked at him yesterday quite a bit and liked what I saw. Haha I like lots of options but it definitely makes deciding harder. I would actually be really interested in the Muridale Jaxson bull, he sounds like he breeds what I need, not to mention the...

Thanks Weezie for letting me know about DS. Wasn't quite sure how big of a concern it was, but knew that PHA is an issue. I've looked at the Outsider quite a bit, have a Loaded 4 Bear x Front & Center heifer that will be bred this spring. She just was pelvic checked (can't remember dimensions...

Thanks Mark. I'll shoot you a PM about Justified, I'd really like to see more on this bull. Won't be AIing until late spring/ early summer most likely, but would definitely like to start looking into getting semen. Thanks

Thanks Mark, just gave him a look and holy cow, that's an animal. Bad thing is, when will they be selling semen out of him? And would love to see that bull move. But gosh, he's a big guy, sure has grown like a weed, and is thick as they come. Not to mention with that white you could probably get...

As far as replacement heifers go, would either of those bulls be good choices for such? Looked for Long Look some and I definitely like the looks of his heifer calves. Where could I find the most information on him (including semen)? Thank you, I am not the most versed in PHA, TH, and DS, but am...

I am primarily looking to breed sound and functional foundation females that can raise a good calf. Most of my cows were bought locally and are just a hodgepodge with no real pedigrees. The few that I've bred who are out of registered sires are out of Simmentals (HF Double D (HF Double Down x HF...

Hello again. I'm looking for bull recommendations once again. I've got a complete hodgepodge, Angus X, Simmental X, Shorthorn X, and more. Shorthorns have always been a favorite breed and if we do some AI some this spring/summer that's the route I'm looking to go. Now I've got some cows that are...

Thank you. So far so good. The cow has bagged up better and the calf is as spunky as can be. She's a cute little bugger, that's for sure. I will try to post a picture if I can figure it out XD

Thank you. I’m hoping that I don’t have to step in but I will if I have to. If it comes to it I’ll probably just try a nurse cow (we’ve got one currently with 2 calves) or bottle feed. Last time I had calves rob off other cows it didn’t go well. They chose the heifers/heifer calves and some of...

She calved January 1st, 2021. She was due approximately January, possibly late December. She didn’t have an exact due date. I’m hoping that’s what happens and she’s just a little early and she’ll start producing heavier soon.

Thank you for your reply. I’m hoping that she’ll start producing more. So far calf seems good but doesn’t seem to get much out of nursing.

I’ve got a Angus X cow that just calved yesterday and had a nice little red heifer. But she doesn’t seem to have much milk at all. She had her first calf in March 2019 and failed to breed back. Decided to keep her and turned her out last spring and she bred right back. When she had the first...
