I guess it is the Black Angus that is creating the skunk tales! If you'll read my post, I am refering to the Simmi/Limmi cross cows with Angus bull. Those cows have had a lot of skunk tails.

http://www.bovine-elite.com/generaldetail2.asp?idProduct=101 Best thing you can do is buy this book! IMO... I taught myself how to AI and this came in real handy.

Some of the Charolais genetics will give you an occational skunk tail. The Simmi will also do it. My wife's uncle has Simmi/Limmi Cows and breeds them to a Black Angus bull. He gets a lot of skunk tails. I have the same type of cows that we use for recips in our embryo program. If the...

I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful by saying this. I think his scurs are the least of your worries. He lacks a lot if you are using him in a purebred herd.

I'd like to see those reports! We just weaned our bull calves off of momma and grass only. Avg BW of purebred calves was 82# and the avg WW on this set was 765#. All at 6.5 months old. And this is in TX in the middle of a drought.

I put the Dry Cow in every other day. No patch. LA200 every 4 days

Try using the "Dry Cow" paste and LA200 combined. The Dry Cow has penicillen in it and it's thicker than penicillen and coats very well....

That's about as close to being dead on as you can get! Embryos might be a little higher. Depending on breed of cattle you are purchasing!

If he has an infection, you might want to give him some penicillin. I also use the Dry Cow, in the tube, as eye treatment.

Because they raise big calves.... If they didn't I wouldn't be getting 700 pound bull calves at 6 months old... That's why :tiphat:

New heifer I picked up last weekend. Photo was taken with a phone right before a rain storm. She is 8 months old Breeding: Infantry x Reality x Smokin Joe

IMO- the peace pellets are a waste of money... I tried them on a bull that I was wanting to halter for a sale. I did have some sucess with the Calf Calm. When I got home, I realized I double the dose. lol I would go with the melatonin like VCC says in the link on a previous post.... I...

why not just use a regular scale to hang the tank from. When you walk by, look at the weight. Record the weights weekly and the amount of nitrogen and then you'll know.

If all you are wanting to do is raise black white faced cattle, then I would breed the replacement heifers to a black white faced simmi bull!!! If all you are wanting it a white face and black hair.

A DONOR COW CAN HAVE ZERO STRIKES AGAINST HER,,,, ZERO STRIKES

I'd go with a Charolais or a Hereford.

It's going for $200-$250 a straw.... If you are interested still.. PM me... I have some or I can find you some...

I have the 2K Self Catch model and was bought pre WW. Have issues with it sqeezing because the ratcheting isn't smooth. Hangs up. I broke the welds on the pipe that is used to sqeeze them. Called WW and they wouldn't do anything about it. It was bought less than 6 months before WW bought...
