Just looking to see what recent trends are for timed AI? I used 5 day on heifers and 7 day on cows and it seemed to work well. I’ve used the same other years with poor results. I’ve heard neighbors both using 5 and 7 day protocols for heifers. I used to hear 14 day was best for heifers. What are...

Looking for Coleman bull experience, I’m looking for a sire group that’ll have something something that’ll produce daughters that are worth retaining and steers that weigh up heavy. Something that’ll add milk, carry’s or adds some frame, big scrotal and great docility is a must. Thanks in advance

What is the optimal age to creep feed? With todays prices I'm confident its worth while even with feed costs but I read somewhere there's an opinion that below 3 months of age, the calves stomachs are not set up to make the most of the creep feed. Thanks in advance.

With current feeder futures nearing record highs, how many are purchasing LRP's or PUT's? When priced out an LRP, it seemed to follow or replicate the equivalent PUT price and protection when comparing 50,000 lbs. Havent purchased anything yet but I'm leaning towards a PUT option.

Just curious for those that have used both Ellingson genetics and SAV genetics, and what the experiences have been with both. I realize both are related/family and each use similar livestock genetics but I also think their livestock have a look thats unique to each ranch. I've used SAV genetics...

Sitz Barricade seems to be gaining appreciation. Any experience or opinions on the bull and his offspring?

Seems like with current feeder prices and feeder futures, the bred and bred cull cow market should have more life in it that its currently showing. Anyone else finding the same in their part of the country?

How does one train a blue heeler to herd cattle? Is it something that’s borderline instinctual for the breed or does it take years to train one?

Looking for opinions on SAV Bloodline and SAV Downpour. I've observed several Downpour sons at a sale, they reminded be of rainfalls, just with more frame. Similar stoutness, scrotal and temperament. I've never seen any bloodline offspring in person. Doesnt seem like there have been much...

Anyone else seeing used livestock trailers bringing an insane amount of money lately? Been looking to find a used aluminum stock trailer for a couple years, more seriously in the past 18 months and seems they bring more now then they did new. Watched an 07 24 foot Wilson, tough shape...

What percentage of these pairs are going back on pasture and whats going to a lot or a packer? Will most of them be in production next year or are they kill cows with calves going to the yard?

How many of you use puts and call options as part of your risk protection. Have you had an experience with them, good or bad? Feeders seemed to have rallied and wondering if now is a good time to lock in a floor price while leaving the top side open?

Just looking at the drought monitor and was wondering how long until you see herds start to liquidate faster than normal (like 2012)? I imagine when it starts it'll flood the market with cheap beef but in the longer term, maybe there will be a stronger upswing in the feeder market and bred market?
