Just wanted to update everyone on the going ons around our place. I had my gallbladder removed and once was able to return to work, accepted a new promotion. I now have my own office about 25-30 minutes from home. I am no longer traveling to multiple offices throughout the week across this...

Experience? We use a bagger for corn.

Today we ran hard to get chores done so we could go to town and watch our Huskers. Watched. Drank. Left at the half to go view test plots. On way home, the guys were really chattering. I recorded it. Not to be snoopy. I sincerely enjoyed hearing this banter amongst farmer to farmer. Corn...

Almost done... we worked 253 calves yesterday thru the chute. Of those worked, I was quite impressed with the scale as those Blackstone calves walked across. Some looked like they were yearlings. With that said, most were ugly. But he was a terminal bull for our program and I was grinning ear...

Bought 2 bred heifers and a young pair at the Spruce Mountain Sale yesterday. One lot calved a Diablo Deluxe calf. I was interested in Diablo Deluxe since he’s a Discovery son. His calving is way outside our window but I honestly bought this pair because of the calf. Mom looks fine, just...

After having posted about female production sales and mentioning Peterson Angus not transferring ownership of cattle that was sold in March, I spoke with a few on this board privately whom said they’ve been unable to reach Peterson also. I only brought that up because that operation is whom I’d...

We had to catch a calf that in pasture yesterday that we thought initially had to be a naval infection. We gave nearly a week for the Draxxin to work but wasn't showing any signs of improvement. I called the vet last night that was close to our pasture to see if anyone was there and he said he...

Here they come and we are gearing up! I want more heifers. Possibly a donor or two but I usually don’t see those till bull sales? We are ALL IN on good donors, if they’re proven and not burnt up. Told my hubby to whisper in our embryologists ear about that endeavor. He works for a lot of big...

One of our bulls came back, stating his daddy wasn't so. We just started registering calves out of him...he was our cleanup bull for our Registered herd. I had pulled blood on him to send off but saw he had one on file. So I just requested it. This bull is a 2014 model. Hoping the operation...

Do we lock up every thread now? I’d like to brag about my calf but... probably get locked.

That is why changes were made. The association realized what was happening.

Some people from the community went on the river this weekend. Current was so strong that it swept a kayaker over the spillway. Those in his party, including his wife... were struggling hard to keep from the current that ended up taking this mans life. Father of a 2 year old boy. Fireman. Our...

I am curious how many CT members are veterans? I know formally, today is about those lost during active duty and we also pay respect to our loved ones. I am a daughter of a Vietnam vet. 2 Purple Hearts. He was a tunnel rat (he was the size of a jockey)... and while he didn’t die at war, I...

Had some company out to our place last night. Talking cattle, he said back in the 90s, he was very close to the Prime Time ordeal. Mentioned that Prime Time was HOT and there was a lot of money exchanged/sold on him. Forward 3 years and that operation lost everything because as the use of him...

A little freaked out with the ads on this board. Really not a fan of sexual content but I’m more concerned about it saying “Odessa women prefer men over the age of 45”... I’m from Odessa. My cookies shouldn’t reveal that? I was just born there. How deep are these things mining?

We got the Okies. Our southern girls that are a hot mess. 3-4 of the calves have a white “furry” tail from the tail head. Best described as a white tail deer. What breed of cattle? It’s so interesting to have these cattle here. I love a few of the attributes of the various breeds but I’m...

May be an ignorant post... but I was on a website of an operation that I greatly admire. It stated that they score the cows coats in June because... “Data has shown that cows that successfully slick off each year can wean calves that are more than 60lbs heavier than cows that don't completely...

We will have put in nearly 90 embryos within this week. Started on Monday with stragglers that involved a few trips. 59 on Wednesday (embryologist came to farm). 11 yesterday (9 took to embryologist, 2 we swung over to neighbors while they did their big group) We flushed our Poss 5141 (Connealy...

Our bull was scheduled to be delivered last week but with everything in such disarray yet from flooding and in the midst of breeding...we just couldn't accept him and asked if we could possibly just pick him up ourselves, in a week. They obliged. So we went to get him yesterday and he was...

Considering the donation of embryos to a relief auction for flooding victims as long as they’ll accept it. If you bid on a package, would you rather have 3 of the same flushes (1sire) or would 3 different sires with one donor, be more interesting? 3 sires would include Acclaim, Jet Black, and...
