What kind of birth weight does Monopoly 7 have? 

We have used five different Maine bulls over the last eight years and kept over 40 heifers. Our ranch is at about 7000 feet and our summer pasture is at about 8000 feet, we have never had any probelms with our Maines at altitude.

Thanks everyone for your help and support! 

I have a similiar looking cow that we flushed to Hairy and Ali. The bull and the heifer calfs were outstanding out of Hairy.The Ali flush calves were nothing special. Select Sires has Hairy Semen.  Does anyone Know if Hairy Bear would work about the same as Hairy?

The calf died last night.  I really appriciate all of your help.  I think he might just have been to cold and weak to recover.

DL,  He is on some dog beds with a space heater close. I will go put some pop bottles by him. Thank you so much for the help!

Thank you for the replies. He did receive enough colostrum, he has been sucking twice a day until he is full. He is a dumb calf he can not find a teat by himself. He is not dehydrated He does not have an elevated temperature; it is to low to register on the thermometer. The calf is in a heated...

We have a calf that was a couple of weeks early; he is about 5 days old now. He has not been sucking on his own, he have been putting the cow in the chute and putting him on a teat Tonight he was lying down about half dead.

Thank you for the replies!  I have two Point Taken's coming in a couple of weeks, I hope they are not that big. I guess after they are born that will help with the decision.

I am trying to decide what to breed some 1/2 Maine Draft Pick cows to.  They are medium framed with decent necks and sholders. I need a bull that will not downsize. They need more rib and thickness. I thought Point Taken or Smooth Sailing might work. Any opinions or  other ideas would be...

We have a lot of coyotes; we shoot them when we see them. We have lost a couple of dogs to coyotes but never a calf. We have lost a few calves to mountain lions. One good thing about coyotes is they eat prairie dogs!  Elk have become a huge problem for us. They tear the fences down and eat all...

I live in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado and hunting is a big part of the economy of our little town.  I agree with the op ion of hunting being a rich mans sport but we do lease our place out during deer and elk season.  On our 280 acers we currently have a herd  of 100 elk and another of...

SDR, I have a couple of pictures - none of them are very good. We only bred him to angus type cows - we had some nice cavles  but no great ones. He produced great market cattle they grew really well.  He had a couple of calves win there class at the county fair, but never a grand or reserve. ...
