Also because FCS is not fatal, I don't think the association will be like they were with AM and NH.

This topic was HOT some time ago, but Objective's carcass weight and B$ EPDs have greatly fallen with the beef dollar in the 61 dollar range. I think Objective's time is came and gone. Do y'all think the same way?

I was replying the the previous post by oldtimer. I can't quote things on my iPod Touch. I didn't even think about the OP.

An example would be Predestined. BW 4.1 and a CED of 7. Does a higher BW lead to a lower calving ease. By Predestined, it doesn't seem the case.

The post said that this was sold before 1680 defects came out. Also, 44 is a leader in the field with interest in Ambush 28, New Day 454, Wild Fire, and New Frontier 095. Great female! Even that Future Direction mother you have looks good. I would keep AIing her and test the calves.

Betty, I totally understand the culling of your calves. For us, we have three 1680 decedents, two of them are AMF-NHC and one is AMC-NHF. After talking it over with my family, we decided to keep all three and plan to AI them until time to move out. From that, we have had so so luck on the...

Our Big Eye daughter is #16343459. We didn't take a hip height at weaning, so no frame size.... Bulls we used in our last AI round, end of June: Big Eye 14560689 Bextor 13009379 Total 14844711 Pendleton 15313140 In Focus 13880818 Objective 13776378

When we started our AI program last year, we chose Big Eye as our first bull. Calves are so really good with nice head and decent length. One, by our Genetics By Design 049 four year old, is super slick. So thick and long length. Her adjusted 205 day weight was 105%@733lbs. Hopefully she...

If you have a clean calf, you can register it. The sunset prevision only allows for carriers to be registered to certain deadlines. http://www.angus.org/Pub/GeneticPolicyLetter.html Even after those days specified, if you have a clean calf, it can be registered. The thing is that do you want...

You are going to like Mytty In Focus calves. We had our first In Focus calf in mid September. She came from an our 878 heifer. She is the most feminine calf we have ever had on the farm. Small head and long length is what we have. We are very please with what we have and plan on purchasing...

Our AI program needs to be revamped. For the only two times we have AI our cattle, we have only had about a 20% pregnancy rate (and that stinks when we waste Objective units). The process we used was mentioned to us by our vet is: CDIR for seven days, removal of CDIR and inject lute, and wait...

When Genex was in low supply of Pendleton, we used Bovine Elite for our purchase. Great customer service, and they also ship in a vapor shipper via UPS. So, +1 for Bovine Elite.
