    Filtering water

    When they start filtering their own water does that mean it’s time to clean the bowl?

    It was "that day" for us - PICTURE DAY

    Why do you shave their faces and neck?

    Breeding in a small herd

    Yes we have much heavier pound than you…Like I said….I don’t have a scale…didn’t say they weighed 700#….I said closer to 700#… lol you are probably right that 2.5# a day is aggressive for this time of year I’m speculating that they are ABOUT 650#. And yes I’ve heard a lot of people saying that...

    44 and 45 are May calves and 47 is June. I’m hoping to have them bred for August- September. Should be able to put the weight on them by then 🤞🏻

    Breeding in a small herd

    Truthfully I’m not sure what they weigh right now. I bought them February 5 at that time they weighed 580# so I’m sure they weigh closer to 700#. They are in pretty good condition I’d say. I’ll try to get a decent picture of them.

    Breeding in a small herd

    Got some stickers right here I plan to use on my heifers when they come of age/weight. They are may calves that weigh about 600#.

    That’s great information I’ve never been involved with synchronizing cattle. Thank you! Sounds like the way to go.

    Thanks I’ll get in contact with my AI tech and get some details on a program.

    Thanks for the response Travlr. I haven’t done any synchronizing before, but it sounds like you have confidence in it! Going forward if one or some do not catch on the first service do they need to synchronized again before the additional service? How many times would you try?
