Hard to say for sure, but she looks to be pretty heavy bred at this time. Not springing so much, much def bagging.

I run a 648 SS with crop cutter. It is the precursor to the 7060s the other guys are mentioning. It does well for me and I like the bales it makes. It was priced right and wasn't worn out so I bought it. I was looking at 740as and 7060s as well. I do all my own work so dealer support isn't...

my cows are on on concept aide year around, and everyone gets a multimin shot 30-45 days prior to breeding or ET. I am a firm believer in both of these products

getting it done Jeanne! We are having pretty good luck this year too, whats better is our IVF conception rate. I'm pretty pleased at the moment.

I have 2 donors that I have flushed Conventionally and IVF. The comparison is below Donor 1 Conventional- 18 good eggs, and 21 non fertilized Donor 1 IVF- 43 oocytes, split between 2 bulls ended up with 24 good eggs Donor 2 Conventional- 6 good eggs, and 15 good eggs Donor 2 IVF- 1 shot...

Pretty much all the EO calves I have been around have been a bit high headed. But they have been dang good. LOL

I insert a Cidr at 45 days post calving on anything I want to move up. As long as there is good mineral and good grass I can typically move one 25-30 days each year.

I use a SimAngus bull as my clean up bull and most of my cows are some percentage of Simmental and Angus. I'd say that my calves are incredibly consistent. However, I have a very strict breeding program. I breed using cow families and not just a bull. The key to consistency is to maintain...

It can be very hit and miss, and some genetic lines seem to always give you some form of white on the head/face. What I try to avoid is breeding cows that have white socks, white switches and white bellies, breed them to a blaze or baldy face bull and you can get white all over the place...

Profit, JBSF Berwick, and Pays to Believe (all embryos) Simmental AI will be Felt Last Call, Geff County O, GCC KMJ Husker, W/C Bullseye, SSC Shell Shocked, and HPF Optimizer Red Angus AI will be Red Wildman Karl, Red U2 Reverence, Red MRLA Resource, and a Duff bull, but not sure which one...

Love Power Drive females. Wish I could've started with about 30 of them as my base cows.

I have not. I had a red angus heifer last year that I was very tempted to try but I decided not to.

I will not, and would not conventional flush a heifer. Its pretty tough on their repro parts. You could IVF one though. That being said she would have to be a VERY VERY special heifer for me to flush. Not knowing what they will look like or how they will reproduce makes it hard for me to...

Yes, i'd like to drop her tailed as well. Those bankrolls get a little bigger headed than I like, but they come out of their shoulders pretty high and stay pretty clean fronted. I got a few more coming this spring.

From my readings Grade 2 embryos will more often then not result in heifers. The reason they are grade 2s is because of their development or lack there of. And typically that is because of female sperm being slower to reach the egg, so its development is delayed. I will not flush with sexed...
