    Stacking Baldy Gene in Simmental

    Is it possible to stack the Baldy gene in simmental cattle? I have a nice baldy heifer I want to breed. Thinking of using a baldy bull (High Life) from select sires. I’ve heard that it doesn’t work and you can get a all black calf? Thanks

    Best Baldy simmental/simangus bull

    I’m looking into using a Baldy simangus/simmental bull on black angus cows. Trying to find the best one for WW and retaining heifers. Some that I’ve found have really low milk numbers. With retaining heifers I don’t want cows that do not milk well. Thanks for any help!

    How many hours after pulling CIDR?

    Thanks! Isn’t the semen good for 12 hours? If I breed at 60 hours I should be good until 72 correct? So at 54 hours I’m good until 66?

    Hello I’m new to AI and am looking for advice. I have several commercial angus heifers that I intend to AI. Would Deer Valley Growth Fund be ok to breed to these heifers? They currently weigh between 850-900 pounds. I really like the bull but have concerns that he isn’t proven yet. I also...
