I've got a bull calf that's looking real promising. I was looking at his mother this weekend and she's losing some weight. He's scheduled to be weaned in about 2 weeks. Should I go ahead and pen him up so the cow can put the weight back on? Many thanks! Bob

We just got two paint weanlings. They are about 5 months old. The breeder has been feeding crimped oats, hay and a mineral block. Will this diet provide adequate nutrition for youngsters? Many thanks! Bob
I gave all of my cows a shot of Lutalyse Wednesday at 6:00 PM. When should I typically start seeing signs of heat? What are the most obvious signs that they are ready to breed? Many thanks! Bob
Are any of you gives giving a shot to put your cows in heat? We are planning to shoot ours this evening. Hopefully they will be ready to AI on Saturday. Any thoughts? Thanks, Bob
