Did you end up getting a 1411? I've been looking at getting one also. I have a NI 5209 I'd like to replace. The 1411's I've been looking at have all been in the 10-13,000 range for ones that look like they are in pretty good shape. Found one that has the shock hubs on it for $12,500. That's at...

Decided after reading the couple of responses that I should go with my gut and get the calf out. Said a little prayer while walking out to the barn that the calf would be ok once I got it out. Walked in the barn and smelled something a little different and when I got to her pen that was a calf...

That's the thing, my gut is telling me to get it out of the cow, but the vet says just wait. Cow doesn't act like she is in labor. I worry if we leave the calf in, when it does finally come out it will be dead. If we get it out now I think it would be ok. The only thing keeping me from getting...

I have a cow that is due on 1/25. She is AI bred and no way she could have been bull bred earlier. 2 nights ago I was checking cows and saw her water bag out and I could see the feet of the calf. So I put her in the barn and expected to see her with a calf the next morning. Came out the next...

I think he is a really good fit for what you are wanting to do. The offspring I've had out of Charlo are easy fleshing and he really improved the udders and teat size on a few of my cows in one generation. Calving ease has been terrific also. The only bad I've heard of Charlo is his docility. I...

I just had a heifer calve at 15 1/2 months this weekend. I was setting up heifers with a one shot estrumate plan and this one didn't respond to the first shot, so I hit her with another shot 10 days later and she didn't respond again. Then I noticed she was starting to get a little bag so I...

Not sure yet. I emailed my provider last night and still haven't heard back to see if they have any on hand. I'm hoping so!

I looked at Payweight Plus and like the looks of him, but looking for something without Consensus as I already have enough of him in my females.

Still doing some research, but this is the list I'm pondering so far: LD Capitalist 316 (Heifers) Connealy Legendary CTS Remedy TEX Playbook (looking for a Payweight son) Ellingston Homestead Need to look up these bulls a little more and see what they are producing out there.

I don't have enough experience with Guinness females to say much as I've only had experience with one. I bought a cow/calf pair and that heifer calf at side was a Guinness. I really liked her phenotype and she grew into a real nice heifer. Even had her on the show string. Disposition was good...

I grafted one after a week last month. Took a little work for the cow to accept her, but she still had milk and eventually took the calf. I read this article on-line when trying to decide if I should still graft the calf on after a week so I tried it. http://articles.extension.org/pages/444 ...

Sounds just like my Wednesday night except you had a better outcome (and I didn't have a fire :)) My first calves weren't due till the 20th, but I already have had 3 so Wednesday night I got home from work and rushed out to check cows and saw a heifer laying down by the tin windbreak on the cold...

I sampled New Direction a few years back. Didn't get anything out of him that really impressed me. They were fancy, but the females lacked the middle I like and the bulls weren't powerful enough for me so I didn't keep anything out of him. A buddy of mine flushed a cow to him several times and...

Wait a second.......did he actually turn the bull in the same pen/pasture as the cows??? Or did he think just having a bull on the farm would get the cows pregnant? :lol: Seriously though....I had something similar to this happen to me. I sold a bull to a guy and he preg checked in December...

Last spring I had 10 first calf heifers to breed back. I was strongly considering just throwing them out with the bull to get them bred back quickly, but I decided to throw CIDR's in them and give them one round of TAI. All but 2 stuck to AI. The ones that stuck....some lost a week or two on...

Cibster, how long did you keep her up each time? I kept her up as long as she was putting a little weight on her back legs, usually no more than 10 minutes at a time. I could tell when she was getting tired and basically just "hanging there". When she got to that point I put her back down. I...

Yes, just keep working with her. Had the same exact thing happen to me last year with a heifer. Gave her the same stuff. Lifted her up twice a day. Seemed like she had no feeling in her bag legs. Made a pen next to the barn so I could get to her with the loader and lift her up. I was about to...

I just got a message from my vet wondering if I wanted to try Long Range this year. I read through these responses and I'm still up in the air about what to do?? Vet said price is going to go up another 5% on Feb. 1st so if I was thinking about using it she said I should get it ordered now...

Actually had the same exact thing happen last year. Put an embryo in and it split and gave me to identical Balancer heifers. I thought they were completely identical but we were clipping them for pictures a couple weeks ago and found that one had a little white spot on the bottom of her brisket...

I put the calf's ID number which starts with the year they were born and then they get the first 3 digits of their dam's ID number. So a calf out of cow 8960 that is born in 2016 will be 6896. This way I can easily identify what year the calf was born and I can also easily know what cow that...
