About two years ago I decided to start mixing in some older well proven bloodlines. One of the bulls I chose was Boyd New Day. I was able to find about 30 straws our local Genex rep had left over. The main goal is to produce good maternal females with this particular sire. So far, we had...

Below are two bull calf EPD profiles. One is a Rampage son and the other is a Resource son. Both have the same MGS. I thought it was interesting how different their $M was when they are really similar in a lot of ways. I can see that Doc and SC have made an impact here, but I guess MW, MH...

I was out checking on things the day after turning the bull in on a new pasture and was able to snap a few pictures I thought I would share. The bull pictured came from a farm just down the road and was my first bull purchase two years ago. Next to him in the second picture is his 60 day old...

Will implanting a CIDR and giving a shot of fertagyl harm a late term pregnancy? I am setting up all 25 2+ year old cows tomorrow on the 7 day Fixed Time protocol. One of the cows has not calved and is not showing. She tested bred last July just before an extreme heat wave. A month later...

I'm curious where others draw the line on a bull purchase regarding High BW and Low CED. I assume the bull will be used on cows that have had at least one calf. I ask this because I feel like some of my better bull calves will not be marketable to local commercial cattlemen because they are...

Background: It seems like I have been fighting off Black buzzards this entire calving season. Last week I pulled up to the pasture and had about 15 harassing a cow with three on the ground hopping behind a newborn calf. That cow and calf were fine, but yesterday they finally got to one of my...

Does anyone have any idea what this is? Could this be lice or a fungal issue? I live in Southern Oklahoma and it has been extremely wet since about October coupled with pretty wild temperature swings. Is this something that requires medical treatment. None of my other calves are showing...
