Try Cattle Visions. They have a website who's adress I can't find right now. Talk to Lance if you find it they have an extensive inventory on semen for most breeds.

Did you buy him from the sale at Expess? If so how was it? Good averages? I could imagine they put on quite a show.

Thanks for the reply. We are only ultrasounding sale cattle. If they are AI bred it should add value. In theory.

Get some Lowline eggs. Fertilize them with Piedmontese semen and put them in a recip cow. Then post a picture of the calves. I just want to see what they would look like. ;-)

The cows are due to calve mid-March. So about 7 to 8 months.

We AI all our cows once. Then we wait a week and put a clean up bull in with them. If you have a vet ultrasound preg check them can they tell which bull the cow is bred to? How about sex the calves? The cattle are AI bred to calve mid-March.

I almost forgot to add that he tested negative for curly calf.

Any Angus breeders using this bull? I looked at some calves in Denver from him. They were awesome. His bulls certainly impressed me. If anybody wants to see some pictures I will post them. They are all taken from the yards.

Just got back from Denver yesterday. It snowed once, but otherwise the weather was great. I went for the Limousin to help a friend with his Limousin bulls. The did well with one pen, winning a class and getting reserve in their division. I got to see some awesome cattle. I didn't just...

I have to agree with you. I am not much for registering crossbreed cattle. Good LimFlex calves are exactly what I want my bull buyers calves to look like when he sells them. Being a Limousin breeder I do like to see how the breed I raise compliments other breeds. If you are going to grab...

I like the Lim Flex I have seen. We will see what I think after I see some more of them.

They look nice to me. I would like to see that Jersey cow with a 600# once orphaned calf sucking on her. That would be a sight.

I think a lot of it depends on how you feed your cows. Most of our cows get fed haylage that any dairy farmer would love to feed his dairy cows. That is a big difference in nutrition compared to cows that get quack grass round bales and corn stalks. I am not going to sell a bull with a 95# BW...

Last year we sold a bull out of the same cow that had a 90## birthweight and he wasn't nearly as good.

First pic is coming three year old in earlier post. Picture was taken in May. Second is a bull that we are keeping either to sell or use. He is a March calf. His actual weight on November 7 was 816#. His bw was 95. Just a note to red bull breeder, his dam is red and she is our best cow...
