Thanks for all the replies everyone! I appreciate all of y’all! The fetus was pobably 4-5 months.

Anyone had any kind of experience with mummified fetuses? More specifically, has anyone been successful trying to get a cow to expel one? Was reproductive soundness an issue afterwards? I’m looking for any kind of info, so tell me the good, the bad and the ugly! Thanks in advance!

Great set of cattle, that's for dang sure!! I saw pics of Nadine a few years back and she still sticks with me to this day as one of my favorites! I'm happy to see her genetics live on!

Heard the other day that one of the neighbors found a few bald eagles eating a calf they had killed. Something tells me that getting a kill permit for eagles would be pretty darn hard to do. We have noticed buzzards eating calf waste here for years, especially when they get the runs. More...

Wow, thank you for all of your feedback and replies, everyone! I'm intrigued by the Manimal bull. I might end up sampling him. Thank you again!

Does her phenotype favor that of her Sire or her Dam?

Ok Shorthorn breeders, I need some advice! I've been mulling over the idea of AIing a few of my commercial cattle to Shorthorn bulls just to see what I'd get. Over the years, I have noticed some Shorthorn crosses who have that broody, easy fleshing look and they have made me want to consider...

Payweight went off of there awful fast...

Thank you for all of the replies, everyone! I'm looking into the Concept-Aide mineral for sure!! EDIT: For those of you who use Concept-Aide, how soon do you start feeding it? Site recommends 60 days pre calving unless I read it wrong.

Just exploring my options with pre-breeding supplements! What extra supplements do y'all give or recommend for your recipient cows? I'm looking into using some supplement blocks etc. on a group of recips this fall. They have free choice high Mag mineral and I will give Multimin shots 4ish...

Red and white Angus! ;-) :lol2:

I know some who would do just that! :lol2: :dunce:

Kinda sounds/looks like a Sim to me! I've always thought most of the Chars in my area looked similar to Sims in their build, only difference was coat color. I've heard of red factor Chars, but not blacks! :hide:

From ABS, I'm using Juice Box on all of my Hometown daughters. I'll know more when they drop in the fall. He's got a video or two on You Tube. Saw a full sib to JB in the latest Hereford World and was pretty impressed. If you get Hereford World, he's on page 242. MPH 10H Splash. For maternal in...

I've had a few, so my sample size is relatively small. Born easy out of both cows and first calf heifers. Definitely adds depth of body and keeps frame size in check from what I've noticed. I have a son out of him that I retained for my own herd. I liked him enough that I have also sampled his...

I have a PB Sim cow who constantly does this when lounging around (I've had her for almost 10 years). Some of the others have started copying her over the years, it's not unusual for me to see a few of them "nose resting" in a group when I check them while they're lounging. Looks almost like...

Here's the one I'm trying in my herd this Spring: https://www.stgen.com/sire-directory/be ... eef-cattle

Agreed, we run PB or 3/4 Simmis on our Angus/Simangus cows and have been for years. Results have been optimal for us with both steers and replacement heifers. I’d think the Simangus v. Simbrah would also depend on your area. Not many sale barns in my area would like the extra ear that the...

Nice! Who’s your Dun bull out of?

Here are a few quick pictures, I’ve been slacking lately! The dang things are fun to observe though!
