So I bought seamen on a bull that was custom collected. A major stud leased the bull as a yearling. They released the bull back to the owner as well as the inferior semen. Why they didn't destroy the old stuff I'm not sure. I was unaware of the last couple of sentences until couple of weeks...

So I bought some seman on a black Angus bull. Bred 18 head last year. 2 got bred Hereford and both stuck. 3 got bred to one bull, and 2 stuck. 12 got bred to this bull and 4 stuck. The last bull was purchased directly from the owner. Owner is using the bull with et as well as natural...

I tested my herd bulls today. For as cold as it has been in North Central Nebraska it was plenty early, but if I need a bull I want to know soon enough Im not picking through everyones left overs. Out of 6 head, 1 flunked and 2 are marginal. The flunk is done, his pecker is banana shaped...

So I bought some millet (pearl I think)bales. They were baled at 27% moisture and wrapped in a long tube, not individually. I got a semi load and they are not wrapped anymore, just net wrap. Feeding a bale a day, and with the cold weather I think I'll be fine. Nitrates at time of baling were...

I'm a cow calf guy. Wean the calves and sell them about 45-60 days after weaning. The calves will weigh around 550-750. I'm bull shopping. A valid argument is, where I don't retain ownership through the feedlot that paying attention to carcass data is irrelevant. I also know it's not very...

So Im somewhat looking at manual squeeze chutes. I have an old thing that kinda gets the job done, but thinking I should maybe update. Would like something that has a portable option, automatic headgate, parallel squeeze. Hydraulic isn't an option. I realize brands will vary by region...

Well I've whiteled down my cornstalk supplement choices. One tub is a 30% with 17% urea/npn. I'm not real crazy about that much urea as I can buy the 30-10 I normally use for the same money, plus a couple of other advantages. The 30-17 tub supposedly has a complete mineral package with aviala...

Well I know option vary by region and there people on here from the Mexican border up into Canada. Options vary by region. I also know unless your to dam honest of a salesman, every salesman thinks their product is the best! With that being said Northern Nebraska had had our turn with drought...

Hey. Every company has what I call a "fairy dust" product that will solve every problem....if you know what I mean. Im fairly fimiliar with biomoss. Takes pataogens out of the rumen to improve gut health etc. Anyway, so there are several dealers around here with "rumen packs" of yeast that...

Going to a bull sale tomorrow. They had an earlier sale and all bulls had a 50K test. In this sale they have a full ET brother to what had a 50K test done. Being same DNA, just different recips...the epds on the one with a 50K test should be just like the ones that didn't have it done?

Hey there. Considering a bull that has a lot of carrier stuff in it's pedigree. It's from a small seed stock operation. Bull is deceased. Has had a snp 50K test. It really doesn't say it's caf, ddf, etc at the top by registration numbers. If it had been tested it would say so. Sire rito...

My feed supplier really likes bio Moss, or actigen. Actigen is aore advanced version of biomoss. He likes actigen in feed rations for herd health. No research, just observation. Is there anything that indicates that bio Moss helps with feed digestion, rate of gain, etc...or is it just...

Well its bull buying season, and Im browsing the catalogs. The general rule of thumb is to buy a bull that looks awesome. Which I get. I think its also the traditional thought process. We would shop for looks cause thats all we had before we had "data". So I have often wondered how...

Well, Im contemplating various winter supplement options. Ive visited over the phone with the Rio Nutrition folks in the past. Im curious as to anyones use/experiences in using the said product. Ive visited with them in the past. About the only way to shut them up is to hang up! :lol...

My brother likes this bull. His numbers, he isn't ugly...idk could look a little better maybe? https://www.accelgen.com/catalog/semen- ... -the-rough

At the local Accelerated meeting this spring, I won 10 straws on any of their bulls. This is a bull for various reasons I find interesting. Seen some sons out of him. Liked what I saw. Personally I think for a Hereford, he could use a little more WW & YW. He sure isn't bad though. Just...

He is a bull Im curious about. Have always liked him in the catalog. I don't see many sons on sales for some reason. Just curious if anyone had used him & your thoughts. Is there a reason I don't see many sons around?

I have an older Gandy box.  Did some google searching.  Really couldn't find much information on dealers or places to buy parrts other than through Gandy.  So I called Gandy & priced some items.  I have the box, just the part with the spouts are missing.  Buddy of mine has a set up.  4 spouts...

Just curious to hear any feed back on any of the "mos" products. My one vet says its alright, the other says its pixie dust! Tried to do some googling. Fair bit of info on Bio Mos, Citristim where its strictly manufactured by ADM not so much. Found one feed supplier that evidently has the...

OK, another bull buying question. I know there are ways to "inflate" EPD's. I think one way is to early wean & make a huge 205 adjustment. I visited with a potential seed stock supplier. They have a good reputation. Yet you look through their catalog, all EPS's with actual bw and a...
