I have been playing with the idea of breeding some of my commercial girls to I-80, a Maine Anjou bull. I think he may give these potential calves more of a showy look and I may be able to market them to club calf breeders/showmen instead of just to commercial farmers. These girls that are to be...

I'm trying to find some used stall dividers. They are proving to be near IMPOSSIBLE to find! I would just buy new, but i'm not sure how much showing I will be doing in the future. I have tried borrowing from friends but they are all in the middle of show season too so they can't lend them...

I have a ten year old Hereford cow that has slipped her calf the past three years or so. She's an old show cow and breeds right back so I haven't sold her. She will generally carry until about the beginning of her second stage then slips. I was thinking maybe an ovarian cyst? Anyone have any...

I have a horned Hereford heifer I will be showing this year. I am used to polled animals. My question is, would you weight her horns? Or let them go naturally? I personally like the natural look, but I don't want to be docked or frowned upon because I left them alone. They really aren't growing...

Okay, so I bred 5 heifers on the 9th of January. On the 29th, I started watching for signs of heat just in case one happened to come in early. I noticed one heifer was in standing heat. The next morning, I AIed her again. As for the other four, I cannot tell if these heifers are in heat or not...

I am thinking about breeding some of my Hereford or Hereford influence heifers to a brahman for some F1 calves. Problem is, I don't see many options out there and I really don't know how to read the epds of a Brahman. I have heard a lot of people tell me not to breed to red brahmans but to find...

For heat detection, do you guys paint the tails or use the patches? Which do you prefer and why? I have only used syncing in the past so this is a first for me. I have a cow that ALWAYS tells me when I have a cow in heat. She bothers the cow just as much as the bull does...until now. This time...

I went to the Cattle Visions AI school in November and became certified. I wasn't very confident in my abilities but I at least had the anatomy and the gist of what I was supposed to do. I figured I could do it, it would just take me longer than expected. Fast forward to this morning, I had 5...

Hello all. I recently got my AI certification. I will be the first to admit that I am NOT that good at it yet. I need practice. However, I don't have many of my own that are open for me to breed or at least practice on. I have offered to breed others at cost or split the cost but so far, no one...
