I’m open to syncing everything and doing one round of timed AI then turning the bulls out it doesn’t matter to me who the sire is just want to get as many bred as quick as possible

What is the biggest jump you’ve made with your calving season and how succesfull was it…my current calving season starts May 1 and goes for 60 days have calved for 2 years now in May and am not as big of a fan as I thought I would be so with that I plan on going back to March 15…I am currently...

Help 4 day old calf was doing good noticed yesterday was a little loose fed some electrolytes and a poop pill not doing any better today had to tube and after driving around the pasture and checking everything else noticed 2 more calves that where a little loose moved everything to a different...

That is a good idea that I hadn’t thought of…thank you that just moved to the top of my list for the 20 acre field for sure

My plan is to moboard all stubble and manure I have to spread this spring under pick rock disc roll n plant it…I have to many gophers yet to try no till (although I would like to in the near future) and yes the brome is by far the most expensive…I thought about trying the birds foot trefoil but...

I do plan on rotational grazing the 20 acre field pretty regularly in my rotation which I do agree with you on 40% is to much alfalfa for fear of bloat…what would your opinion on changing the mix cut the alfalfa down to 4lbs a acre and increase the brome grass or tall fescue (No experience with...

Going to seed down two fields this year on is 20 acres (was planted into rye last august plan on grazing it off at the end April into may) second field is 30 acres that had sorghum on last year just cut and bailed once…I attached the mix soil n water recommend is there something different you...

Does anyone have any advice on buying your own ultra sound…what brands to stay away from or which ones you like…thinking about getting one since our local vet recently retired…me and a few neighbors have talked about going in on one together so we could get a little nicer one but is there...

We still do that

I’m about a hour and a half north of Clear Springs Cattle Company and really like their cattle and am trying to pick what I AI to from stuff that is closer to my area and they definitely have a good selection in my own opinion

My thoughts on just one bull is I can select the offspring that works in my environment and still have em be all half sibs so down the road my bull selection is easier instead of having multiple sires every year…whatever doesn’t work for replacements get loaded on the trailer and hauled to the...

From the information I’ve listened to and read that’s how I understand it…I’m gonna use AI to the same bull two years in a row and switch to a different one for 2 years and keep my replacement heifers out of the ai calves and will probally end up keeping a few bulls just for clean up and...

That’s the plan on choosing the bull is a proven bull that has a lot of prodigy to compare definitely not looking for the bull of the month

I guess I don’t know I’m still very new to the registered stuff but I’ll dig into the Simmental website…thanks

I don’t want to intentionally linebreed more or less more curious on it…I just want to get a more consistent set of cows and calves…getting away from going to the sales barn for replacements…. The cows I have now range from 1200-1600lbs and just trying to get everything to the middle ground...

I just started a AI program last year I’m only running 70 head my thoughts to get more consistent set of cows and calves was to ai everything to one bull and keep my replacements out of what’s born in the first 21 days and use the same bull two years in a row so I would end up with majority half...

Just wondering what everyone’s opinion on how much line breeding is to much…I know the old saying if it works it’s line breeding and if it doesn’t it’s inbreeding but how do you figure out the coefficients? I have just 8 registered Simmental and they all have hooks shearforce in the pedigree 3-5...

No heifers all cows that I’m not worried about calving ease to much…I’m more interested in having a consistent group of feeders to sell in the fall and if I can keep some replacements they would all be half siblings to try and get more consistent with only being able to keep 5-10 heifers a...
