    Putting Heifer and Weaned Calf together

    Another fine example of a son respecting his parents even if he doesn't agree with them. Kid, sooner or later you will learn that everyone makes mistakes and should be able to depend on family to help correct the problem.

    Installing auto waters and bulls

    I have 2 fountain waters bolted to concrete pads. I don't run a bull now (all AI) but I did not have any problems when I did have a bull. Of course my Black Angus bull was about as laid back as they come.

    Cattle Call

    I just show them the feed sack, or a 5 gallon white bucket, or call them "mooooo cowwww, mooooo cowwww" and they come running. Years ago I had a set of cows that would recognize my truck as I drove down the highway to gate at the far end of the pasture. The cows would take off going in the...

    BUYING SEMAN

    -You buy semen from a registered bull for $25. -You AI the cow and she calves. -You want to register the calf, you must buy the certificate to register the calf. $100 per certificate seems a bit high but I normally purchase Black Angus semen. Usually the certificates are around $35 on average.
