My AI guy is Select Sires and he is one of the handful of Angus bulls that I’m interested in that has semen available along with Playbook and Rainfall.

Appalachee Don!

I have a Beefmaster (Shorthorn derivative) crossed with an Angus that looks like a Murray Grey

It’s always suspicious that Atlanta’s votes are always the last ones to come in

You are very right about that 4 hour window. When I was stationed at Fort Benning, they would not let us go on leave until midnight. That would have me hitting Atlanta about 1:30 AM and it was smooth sailing then.

I like my Brahman influence via Beefmaster.

Thanks for all the replies and advice. I will probably be stuck around 5 or 6 cows until(or if) I can buy or lease something nearby. I would love to AI myself on observed heats, it’s just with my paying job, I don’t have the time.

I have reduced my herd down to 5 cows(at my current place) since I sold my farm that was about an hour away and most of the cows that were there. I was curious of y’all think that I could breed these cows with synchronized AI or would just have to borrow a bull or still use a cleanup bull.

I have set my bales out in a grid pattern and used polywire to separate them and ration them to the cows one bale at a time. It worked real well for me but my cows were conditioned to polywire.

I have a 1954 Mosin Nagant M44 that I believe may have the barrel shot out. You can shoot the high dollar stuff like S & B or Privi Partizan and it shoots all over the place , but the cheap Monarch stuff from Academy was dead on. The downside with the Monarch stuff was that 1 or 2 out of a box...

I tried Red River Crabgrass back in 2015/2016 and had no luck on the sandy land. You can’t stockpile crabgrass for the winter. I live an hour away mow and barely have time to bush hog the place much less plow.

I love it from April to October but it doesn’t stockpile like fescue does. I have been on the edge of the Sandhills and Piedmont all my life and you can’t beat a good stand of fescue with some clover in it.

Wouldn’t AI work good with a herd of 10 cows or less? I’m thinking about selling my cows on a sandy place that I own that is nothing but bahiagrass and an hour away and just keeping the 5 cows behind my house and AIing them.

This was back in August. This was a young cottonmouth that crawled under my foot as I was opening my truck door . He crawled about 4 feet from my truck door and started striking towards me.
