It's the time of year that lots of folks are calculating conception rates, be that ai, or ET.  I'm curious how those rates vary across the board. Just talked to a larger ET facility, and they told me that they average 45-55% typically, on conventional, frozen embryos.  I was surprised, as this...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a spray bottle that works for fly spray (oil based)?  Seems like whatever kind I try, they are shot in a week or 2. Thanks for any help.

I'm curious what vets are charging around the country for certain fees...our charges have dramatically increased and want to see if we are just in line with the rest now, after an old vet retired.  I'd like to know costs of health papers for out of state shipping.  Simply a healthy paper with...

For all the college football fans on here...Interested to hear any thoughts on the bowl season so far.  My take from the games so far: Of course the Nebraska game was the most interesting to me.  Two teams that were decimated by injuries battled.  Good, hard-fought game.  With a little luck...

How many folks are now using multi-min 90?  I searched the topic and found a few results, but thought that I'd start a new thread.  If you are using it, when do you see as the most beneficial times? Are there any stages when it is not recommended? Can it be given a few hours after birth when...

We will have an empty 30 foot trailer (with 3 compartments) heading back south from the Bismarck, North Dakota area this weekend.  Our final destination will be central Nebraska.  If we can assist in moving any livestock back this direction, drop me a PM before Friday evening. Thanks.

Spring is getting closer and I'm getting more and more nervous about pasture. I'm curious what kind of moisture situation the rest of the central U.S. is in? We are facing the possibility of having to get rid of a sizeable number of cows...and just want to start figuring out how far from home...

Had a friend tell me yesterday that he was working about 100 calves with the vet, when he had to leave to move panels to a different pasture.  Vet and assistant continued running calves through the chute while he was gone.  He had told the vet that there were a few young calves that needed...

Need some opinions. Son got done with county fair with his Heat Wave 5 market heifer.  We did breed her just to keep her from cycling.  She's due to calve late March to a Built Right son.  The only other Heatwave we've had around didn't  really know how to milk.  If this one is out of a good...

Just got the Nance County Fair completed last week here in Nebraska .  Thought I'd give a report. Our fair is pretty small, with around 35 market animals and another 35 to 40 breeding animals. My son, Tres,  is 9, so this is his second year showing.  He's out there every step of the process...

Does anyone have a spray bottle that works good and lasts when using the oil based fly sprays like Vapona?  About every one I try fizzles out pretty quickly. Thanks.

Looking to purchase Hay With the drought conditions in Nebraska, I am looking for hay available to purchase.  We need some Alfalfa for ourselves, and have several friends and customers looking for grass or alfalfa.  If it can be purchased right, we are not opposed to shipping long distances. ...

Wondering if hay prices are sky-rocketing across the whole country, or just in certain areas.  Our alfalfa price in Nebraska has gone from $125/Ton a year ago for the good stuff all the way up to $225 to $250, if you can even find it.  Hay is nearly impossible to find.  Have lots of friends...

I think this has been discussed on here before, but I can't locate a thread. What is everyone's take on hauling after A.I. or E.T. is done?  My question is...if you keep them around until they are thought to be safe in calf...after day 25 say...how soon is it safe to haul then?  Safe 35 days...

Usually don't have trouble with this kind of thing, but I posted a new classified and can't locate where or how to add the location and price.  Can anyone help, please? Thanks.

Breeding a few of the Simmental and Sim-Angus cows trying for a few show steers for the kids... A.I. tech has Walks Alone and I-80 in his tank.  Any thoughts on those 2 bulls?  I know Walks Alone is a carrier, and I-80 is clean.  Cows will be around the 6 frame with plenty of body.  I want to...

How is Chopper for calving ease?  See his actual BW must've been pretty high (95# adj.). Is he an absolute no for heifers? Thanks.
