What are everyone's thoughts about putting embryos in virgin heifers. Birthweight shouldn't be an issue, and they are commercial heifers that we raised ourselves, so not like we are picking something up at the sale barn. Curious how many of you have taken the risk?

Anyone else in a little bit of a panic mode that NWSS is just around the corner! So much to get done before then. We don't take cattle, but I'll be down in the Yards with a booth, and my husband goes for the "vacation." We are also hoping to find a Hereford bull this year.

I am two rooms short for Denver. Trying to get something on Quebec Street if anyone has an extra.

We are very excited to be going back to the NFR this year. It's been about four years since last time I went. Back then we were lucky enough to have won some tickets. Anyone have suggestions on how to go about getting tickets this time? What sites are the best to buy from, etc?

Last weekend I got the opportunity to travel to San Francisco for Cow Palace. It had been 10 years since I had been to the show with my junior college judging team. Not huge numbers, but I was very impressed with the quality. Here are a couple videos from the show. http://youtu.be/z2CDPmWsxgM...

We've got a couple heifers that we'll be having the vet dehorn. How many days do you wait to begin messing with them. These heifers are pretty quiet and tie broke, washed once, but haven't been led much.
