    Angus bulls

    I am starting to look at sires to use this year. I have always liked Silverias Style but curious with all of the sons out there would you consider using one of them over Style himself? Looking at GQ or Pokerface or Style himself. Also have a second-calf cow that is pretty darn complete the...

    Angus heifer. What do you think?

    Here is a pb angus heifer I raised. She is a Dameron C-5 American Classic x MCATL By-Product. She has been weaned for 2 weeks now and is starting to come around pretty good I think just wondering what others thoughts on her.

    Too much belly

    I'm curious on people's thoughts on this. Can a show heifer have too much belly? The reason I ask is that a kid is showing a heifer of mine and him and a friend keep saying she has to much belly. Thanks, HCC

    Fence height?

    Just bought a new place and have to put a new pasture fence up. Curious how tall the top wire on your fence is? How tall are the wood posts? What kind of fence you would use if you could do it all over again, stick with barb wire or go to high tensile? Thanks

    Which bull to use on her?

    Curious what pb angus bull would work best on her. Been scratching my brain trying to think of it. I have Duff Hobart, SAV Bismark, PVF Windfall, OSU Concept in my tank. Been looking at either SCC First and Goal or Silverias Style but not sure which one would work better. She is a By-product out...

    Breech calf

    Curious how many people have had this (if any). Last year one of my cows had a beech calf. Well this year I came home from work and found nothing but a tail sticking out of the back end of a cow. The thing is it was the same cow as last year. So my question is: has anyone had a cow that had a...

    Skunk

    Wondering if anyone else has had this experience. I got home from work today and went out to do chores and all my cows were laying outside. I usually separate a cow and open heifer for feeding by locking one in the barn. So when I walk outside she walks into the barn. Well this afternoon there...

    Using heifers as Recips

    I did a search on this and really didnt come up with much of an answer. I was talking to a buddy today and we go on the subject of recips. He said if I was going to put some low birth weight angus embryos in that I should use my heifers. I am skeptical because heifers will generally milk less...

    HC Power Drive

    Got talkin to a friend about this today and made me think a little bit. Power Drive was a breed changer for the simmi's and made awesome females. Why don't we see more of his clone being used? Why don't we see more of the clone in the pedigrees of females that are selling? Just got me thinkin a...

    First calf heifers

    Just curious what people expect from their first calf heifers when weaning calves in the fall? Do you still expect them to bring a calf in that is half their body weight?

    Dehorning Question

    I am an Angus breeder so this is unfamiliar territory for me on the show side of things, but I purchased some pb simmi embryos in a sale a couple winters ago and just weaned the calf off the cow and noticed she had scurs. Havent decided if I am going to keep her or sell her yet, but would like...

    Breeding

    I know a person should wait around 60 days postpartum before you try to breed a cow but I am curious what people's luck has been breeding on the first heat postpartum? I was out in the lot and one of my cows calved on June 13th. I just happened to be walking through and saw she had a mucus...

    Selling animals with a right to flush

    Curious about animals being sold and the seller is retaining a flush on the animal. Does the seller get all of the embryos in the flush, or is it similar to a flush from a cow being sold where there is a cap and anything above that cap is split between the owner and the buyer?

    couple calf pictures

    Calf leg problem

    I had a calf born yesterday and I can't say I have seen this issue before. One one her back legs has more flexibility than I have seen. She can actually bend her hock a little bit the opposite direction. I'm hoping that she will just come out of it but like I said I haven't seen this before. I...
