I sure hope so!! It put me in such a hard position this year... luckily I made enough money from selling her twins to make up for thinking she wasn't pregnant this year... but this is even better luck if she is!! Thank you for the information and expertise!

Oh wow! I guess that I always just contributed heat cycles to the cow's need to be bred... but eight months pregnant and accepting a bull makes me think again! Thank you so very much for your comment!!! I truly do appreciate the information!

Hello all! I have raised and shown my FFA cow since she was 6 months old, and once she got old enough I began breeding her. The first year I had the vet do AI and she immediately took and nine months later had a healthy bull calf out of Grizzly. The next year I again had the vet AI her and she...

Hey there everybody! This past Wednesday my Heatwave cow had twin calves from the bull Grizzly, unassisted thank the lord, and says she is keeping both of them! The one is an all black bull with the tip of his tail being white, and the other is a heifer that is half black half white in a...

Hi everybody! The picture is of my steer that was born from my Heatwave show heifer and sired by Grizzly. He is 6 months old today in the picture & I have already gotten him to the point where he is halter broke, show stick savy, used to the grooming chute and good for baths and blow drying. I...

Thank you so much! That really does indeed help!! Can you all give me a typical before, during, and after scenerio of what you do? Because checking her every night before bed with a flash light was a great idea to get her used to the idea!

Thanks everybody! And she is a heatwave calf so she has got some unusual coloring for a beef cow! People always are baffled by her at fairs, is it a dairy? It sure is beefy to be a dairy! lol And I am still wondering what all should I have on hand for the birthing? I mean if anything starts to...

This is Nella, the heifer! AlI my questions are meant for her!

Thanks everybody! hillsdown: I live in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, so hopefully by end of Feb the weather will start to lighten up a bit, although the Farmers Almanac is calling for a snow storm close to the end of Feb! piedmontese: Luckily, this is the pen she grew up in, so she...

Hi there! This is my first time having a heifer calve at my house and I am wondering what I should have immediately on hand for the calving time? She is a Maine/Angus/Simmetal cross that is a very big girl. I would put a pic up but I can't figure out how! lol She was bred May 22, 2010 and her...
