Anybody have a good source for protocols used to setup cows to flush? Experiences with which protocol works best and why you feel that way. thanks,

Here are a few shots of a bull that just came back from test. He is a March 17, 2009 baby. I think he did pretty decent ratioing a 109 for the test against 16 other bulls from what I would call the 2 best known hereford herds in the state. Here are his stats: Adj BW: 92 Adj WW: 637 Adj WW...

Not the best pics in the world, but......

I did finally have an extra 10 minutes to snap a few more. Let me know if you like these any better. As I mentioned before, the break behind the shoulders and the lack of eye pigment are the two biggest faults I can see. Pardon the flies in the last pic, I haven't gotten them sprayed since...

How's this one for feritility: Back in November and December of this past year, my dad had a group of sim-angus heifers that had just had their first calves and we were getting ready to AI them back. All of them cycled early but one. We never did see #13 cycle so when we got done AI'ing we...

It's been a while since I've posted, but I figured I should toss you guys some fresh meat. Give me your thoughts on this guy. He's about 8 1/2 months old in this pic. 610 Adj WW, 84 lb BW. He's a Feltons Domino 774 son out of a Boomer 29F cow. I'm sure he's got several flaws, including the...

Sunday March 15th, 2009, 1:00 PM. MO-Kan Livestock Auction in Butler MO. 150+ Performance and RFI tested bulls from 14 Breeds. The top end of over 400 bulls tested. The catalog is not out yet either online or paper, but talk to Kent at 417-465-2240 and he'll be sure to get you one. Here is...

Below are a couple of bulls I just got back from test. Both gained about 3.5 lbs a day, had -1 and -1.5 RFI, scanned 12.5 - 13.5 REA, and scanned 3.5 and 4.2 IMF. They are also both out of my cleanup bull who is a flush brother to LLL Affirmative 56N. (Thank You Rich Thompson!!) I apologize...

Sorry for the delay, but I'm finally getting around to posting the pics I promised. These calves were all right at a month old in the pics. Here's the Feltons Domino 774 son I told you about: Here's a Farley 24F daughter: A heifer calf from my cleanup bull, 70N who is a flush brother to...

Anyone have any thoughts on 767G? I am thinking about picking up a few straws of him in the hopes of retaining some daughters. Experiences or opinions on the fertility, longevity and udder quality of his daughters would be most appreciated. His very high milk number is a little concerning for...

Anybody else attending? I believe it will also be on RFD. Sale starts at Noon, Saturday March 15. Lots of Woodhill Foresight, Mytty In Focus and Endeavor 2058 bulls for sale.

Here's the two we're going to butcher in 2 weeks. I'd like to see #16 put on a little more finish, but I think #18 is pretty much ready. These two were our best two growing steers, born fall '06. 16 had a WDA of 3.21 at weaning and 18 had a WDA of 3.17. Not too bad for Momma's milk, fescue...

How about a little "before and after": At weaning, adj WW=624 Today, 16 days short of being a yearling. I'll be getting his yearling weight next weekend, but I'd guess him to be around 950-1000 today: Fire away!!

Just weaned a small batch of early spring calves and wanted some opinions on a couple. This one's mine. He's my first attempt at raising a bull, although I'm still on the fence whether he will remain a bull or whether he'll be my gomer. He's 7 months old and weighs 576 lbs out of a first calf...

I went back and did a search but can't seem to find anything. How long do you all keep your cows off of a pasture after you've sprayed it with 2-4d?? My jug just says not to slaughter meat animals within 3 days of grazing a sprayed pasture, nothing about keeping livestock off of it for any...

I'm looking to come up with a new creep feed ration and need a little help balancing it. If anyone has a source on what amounts of DM, TDN, NEg, CP, CF.... and so on that need to be in a balanced creep ration, I'd appreciate a link. I've been sitting here googling to try to get an analysis on...

I've heard about the program that the AHA has started, promoting AI bulls that you don't need a certificate to register the progeny. Anybody know where I can find a copy of this list of bulls? I've been scouring the AHA website for the last half hour and can't seem to find anything. thanks,

I'm contemplating using either the Kamar or Estrus Alert patches to aid in heat detection. Experiences and opinions on which is better would be valued. Or experiences with other "patch" type heat detection aids would also be welcome. thanks,

For those of you who supplement your bulls in the off season to get them back into shape, I'm looking for a new ration that will promote gaining back the weight the bulls loose during breeding, without making the bulls hyper. For example: This last set of bulls we bought are pretty easy going...

I have a theoretical question which I'm sure some of you have experience with. Here's the situation: A guy has a group of 20 commercial heifer calves out of a good purebred maternal type bull and good, sound, almost purebred cows. He has performance records on the cows and bull and the set of...
