Can you give me your thoughts on this 14 month old red angus bull? Likes and dislikes

Last night I noticed a cow starting labor, so I put her in the calving pen. I have cameras in barn so I figured it would be a little while, by the time I got over to the house and brought up camera, maybe 15-20 min calve was born, but it was dead. I went over to check out the calf, the cow had...

What EPD's do you pay attention too the most when looking at replacement heifers?

let me ask you guys this, If the so1 isn't long enough or wide enough, how hard would it be to widen and lengthen the chute. I believe the head gate would fit and I don't think you would need to lengthen the squeeze panels. But from your base s01 price to your base so4 price I am looking at...

for those of you that have owned both or just plane know these chutes,what is the difference between the 2? The main difference that I see is the width. Ithink that's about by 4 inches? socould you widen the squeezeout ?

Huge thanks guys, and KY hill I Totally agree! And get this after asking you guys your thoughts and on my way to pic up some more colostrum, I stopped back over at the barn to grab my boots and low and behold the little guys up chasing the heifer around and after being kicked at he prevailed...

late last night, had a bull calf out of a heifer and the thing wont stand up, which means he cant nurse. He tries to stand and looks as everything is working meaning all its legs. Is there anything I can do??

Well she had her calf yesterday, We tried bottle feeding her the colostrum which didn't work so well, so we then went to the second option tube her the colostrum. I am not very experienced at tubing a calve but I have done it a few times, this was by far the worst one to tube. The calve...

I just penned her and will get some colostrum. Thanks for the quick response :D

I bought a bred heifer and she is bagging up but have noticed that a couple of other calves nurse off of her and it looks like she is producing milk. My big question is did those calves take all of her colostrum?? she is due within 3 days and now I am worried she is now a community milk cow...

Do twins usually come earlier? how much earlier? I am asking because I have a cow due early next month, but she seems to be huge. round on both sides. She was Ai'd by me with no exposure to any bull. so I am fairly certain of her calving date.

Good mourning, I have a question about twins. I have just a few cows and never had twins before. So I am a little curious on when you know when twins are coming? Besides when there are 2 calves standing there! :lol2: do you just watch a cow or do you palpate after a calf is born...

any new news with the cast cow? just wondering?

Do you think detour may be used on heifers? or strictly cows?

I was thinking Red Lazy MC CC Detour 2W, a bit unproven, I did look at redemption and like him.

I know some of you raise or use red angus. I am looking to make a few replacement heifers to keep my herd growing. My goal is to improve the cow/maternal side strictly looking o make good sound cows. I want to cross Red Angus bulls with a couple of my short horn cows. need to make some...

I have a quick question for everyone who pulls in a cow or heifer to the barn,shop ,garage or where ever. What size are the maternity pens that you put them in? Or if you where building a couple maternity pens how big do you have it?

what gives you that impression wbvs? Neskip- you can bet if shes open-shes getting wheels giving! I am going to a stronger cull program, I think I have been to easy and forgiving with them :lol2:

tried to bump the calf not sure if I am doing it right, it wasn't obvious that she was or wasn't-so I gloved up and palpated and I believe there is a calf. I would say I am confident in that answer. so that's that!

I am expecting a cow to calf within 2 weeks but she doesn't look preg to me. She was blood tested positive 35 days after being bred. although last year the same thing and no calf. I am contemplating weither to do a rectal palp on her today. If she is that far along I would think that it...
