    Ten X vs Discovery

    I have a lot of both. Those discovery females are super slick though. I keep all of my discovery females. Discovery bulls don't sell that well though.

    Flushing

    Nine eggs is strong! That's a great flush. Yeah, we don't have a written agreement with them on the eggs but they have taken care of us before when things didn't take. Make sure you don't tell them I told you though! We also just bought $25K of eggs from them. We love their operation.

    Flush to whom?

    A pretty good farm in our part of the country has been using Jindra for a while but Double Vision and others clearly never had the hype as Acclaim.

    Selling semen...

    Advantage Cattle is always a good place to sell in my opinion

    Another horiffic day in NC!

    It does. I have never done it because I do not have a problem with it but I know of companies that have permits that do it for their power plants, etc., as they nest on the towers. You can apply for a special permit now that you've lost one. Take pictures of the birds and dead cow. It will...

    Putting bulls with your cows around the fixed time AI?

    I would never do that but that's just me. I've never known putting bulls in with what are essentially going to be hot cows as a good thing. Especially when you're not wanting them to breed.

    Flushing

    You know who I buy most of my eggs from and they do a 50% guaranty for me. We use a certified embryologist. I will find out how my own flush eggs did next week when the vet comes out. I am on pins and needles because my favorite cow ever only had three eggs this last flush, I have no progeny...

    Semen suppliers

    I've bought from Universal and never had a problem. I don't remember what it cost to ship but I always figure about $100. I don't pay that much attention.

    Should I buy ?

    I probably wouldn't if you have a decent farm around you. I usually let people borrow my herd sire for a little handy work. It's hard to justify a herd sire with that few cattle unless you find a really good price. Even then I can't see it.

    Cross fencing a pond?

    Yeah, that would be a good idea. Your pond is much larger than I anticipated. We do not have one that large that the cattle have access to. I think that would be work. I think the only thing you would have to know, and I'm sure you do, is how quickly it drops off and make sure you avoid any...

    Crazy hiefer calf

    This isn't that irregular. Most cows that I buy at the sale barn take several days to settle in. Heck, the most expensive females I ever bought took a full six month to really join the rest of the herd.

    Cross fencing a pond?

    That's way deeper than I anticipated. What would you say the diameter is in the middle?

    Lost one

    I don't know how they are in Texas but studies have shown that the ones here run away from one hanging dead. All of the powerplants have special permits to kill several and you see them hanging everywhere but you don't see any coming onto that property either.

    Cross fencing a pond?

    How deep is your pond? You have a lot of options. Some will last longer than others.

    Starting my herd

    Make sure you have good fencing! Good luck! And always post here with questions. There are always good people on here willing to help out.

    Lost one

    The biggest problem I have with these is that you generally don't get a permit until you've lost one. Well thanks a lot!!! It also has to be well documented and you have to do a lot of paperwork. An animal is not endangered when I see 100's of them when I drive 90 miles east. Sorry, they're...

    Experience with different Grades of Embryos??

    I haven't had a big difference in grade 1's versus grade 2's that are my own but we put them in fresh.
