To be honest I like the cidr protocals. For one they help you catch any late calvers up some. I have had good success breeding any cows with the protocal as long as they are 30 days post calving when the cidrs go in and it also helps me keep the neighbors bulls from coming through the fence or...

I use gnrh with all timed breedings so that wont improve what I have going. I would of course watch and breed everything that came in before the 14 days just trying to figure out best way to improve that low 20s number. I had a couple of cows figured out on what works best on them and they ended...

So got back into ai last few years and use a modified 7 day Tai protocall. I set them up according to protocal but breed on observed heat am pm rule then time breed at 72 hours. I am consistently 80 to 85 percent on observed heats but in the 20s on the timed ones. Was told the timed were low but...

My vet who has the degree mainly to do ET work since vet degree was required in this state for a lot of year to sell embryos told me to give 6cc of lute to all bigger cows. He feels cause of new regulations the drugs aren't as effective as they use to be. I used a timed protocal but also bred...

The only way I see this working is electric. How i would do it is a momentary switch on the float valve. Then have a tank of some kind that has a metered pump and a concentrate of what your wanting to put in the water. Have the hose run to were the valve flows to help mix it better. Then all you...

It's a cause of breeder stupidity. On the original post it said full flush, full throttle, and sugar ray for blood lines. There was a reason those cattle got left in the 80 and 90s back then they wanted them big and 150 pound calves weren't uncommon not to mention you needed a ladder to clip...

My wife has a goat milk lotion business and i have a show cattle equipment business. We ship a lot of stuff in and out. Here in Colorado USPS is way better then the alternatives. With fed ex when we track stuff shipped in, a lot of times we will see it setting at the distribution point 10 miles...

Try searching norton 66623319004. It looks to be it I see msc and some bigger name companies carry something that looks the same so they could probably get the right one. It looks like Grainger carries a similar style disc so you might be able to go to a local store to compare but they sure are...

I think there needs to be unbiased research into it and with how indoctrinated colleges make students now it will never happen. I wonder how much truth there is to it all when the 2 holes in the ozone layer are were NASA launched spacecraft and where they reentered the atmosphere. Then you look...

I think location and how much work you want to put into it determines if there is value in it. I put up small squares of alfalfa. Cows get top and bottom bales from the stacks and the balance in first cutting. Its a pivot so we get 3 or 4 cuttings a year. If you live down south were this is...

Grind both pieces to form a v to weld in. Pre heat with torch well everything in ping it with a pointy hammer. Then wrap it with either a heat blanket or if you pull it off pack it in warmed sand. The problem with welding cast isn't in welding but with the different metals in cast cooling at...

There is an easy way to put an end to all the election fraud bs. Put a number on each ballot that is scanned in to a system so each voter can check the number in the data base to see if the number from the ballot matches their votes. Then give an rfid chip to every single legal voter that gets...

Your soy hulls and your beetpulp are high in fiber already so unless you don't have enough in your mix it should be OK. You can add some cotton seed hulls in for more roughage if you like, or shop around for one of the concentrates and add your ingredients to it. Purina grand fortifier comes to...

my wife had a similar situation. They wanted her to settle quick. She was going to and I told her not to. She felt fine the first couple months. Then physical therapy, Injections, weekly chiro visits started for almost a year. Finally 4 doctors later we fount out it was a herniated disk that...

Go to any taxidermist and have them quote out a buffalo to get close. I had a cool marked shorthorn steer I had the hide tanned on. The guy told me that he figured a little less than a buffalo because the steer should be smaller. Turns out the steer hide was bigger than a buffalo and cost me...
