We're going to have our first production sale this year. Wondering on mailing list, do you find that a digital version is enough to spark your interest in a sale or do you prefer a hard copy to arrive in the mail?

Tried this elsewhere as well but have known this community for a long time and looking for your insight. We're a young operation, bought out our family farm when the grandparents died. We've transitioned more and more into producing seedstock. Selling replacement heifers and bulls by word of...

Wanted to show off a couple videos I’d our breds and replacements from this last weekend but apparently I'm not smart enough to do it.

Set up a pen and played with some of our donors last night. Probably threw away 200 to get these two.

Had some fun talking about one of our herd sires that SireBuyer picked up. If you don't mind listening to us babbling it's episode 12 on The Herd Report https://www.sirebuyer.com/the-herd-report/

Had our biggest breeding season in history. AIed 115 head and put 75 embryos in. Lot of trips through the chute, but excited for what the results could be. Used this list of bulls: 316 SAV Rainfall Ideal Encore Blackline Plainsman XXP SAV Downpour SAV Renown SAV Renovation SAV Density Bruin Torque

I know that SAV comes with mixed reviews around here, however we’ve had some genetics work very well for us. We got incredibly lucky and were able to purchase lot 339. Went to the sale to buy one of his flush sisters to be a foundation donor for us and quickly decided we needed the ability to...

Got pictures back on a young sire we purchased last year. Pretty excited to use him more. Tell me what you think

Haven't tried this for several years so here's an attempt with the new system. Turns out I do a very poor job of taking any pictures anymore.

Ordered 50 units to breed heifers with. Anybody used or seen progeny of him? Pretty excited to see the calves already and the semen isn't even here.

Anybody use this protocol? Trying to tighten up our breeding window this year as we're more strapped for time than usual. Somebody forgot to tell the little sister not to get married during breeding season.

Thought we were done with the first group of AI bred heifers a couple days before the due date, turns out two more decided to add to the total. There were more opens than I would have liked but that's part of having a 42 day breeding window. We used two rounds of prostaglandin to sync this year...

Interesting topic going on over on Ranchers.net Thought it might be worth stirring it up again here as haven't had a good knock down drag out for a while. http://ranchers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=77300 below was my response, let's hear some others

Cleaning out an old farm house and found probably 100+ limousin world magazines. Anybody want them?

Fenceline some calves. Third time was a charm Most quieted down and went out to graze after 24 hours Bred Heifers Here were a couple from the week prior on our trip to Yellowstone

Anybody ever seen daughters out of this bull or have much experience?

What's the easiest way to retrieve semen that has dropped to the bottom of the tank? I can't see it when I shine a light and it should still be in the cane. Thought about a little bolt grabber but thought maybe somebody had a better idea than I have.

Been a while since I've thrown anything out here. Replacement heifers waiting to go out to the oats. Grandpa trying to coax them Oats got a little ahead of the cattle, letting them graze off what they can then will hay the rest this weekend. New Pond, if you look real close you will...

Thinking about cheapening up our sync protocol this year. We've been using TAI using cidrs the past few years and like the results but wonder if I can achieve the same with just two shots of prostaglandin. Did it with two shots years ago but don't remember the conception rates enough to know...
