I was checking some cows last night and I noticed how my bull was keeping them in a group and would not let one stray off. I thought it was interesting behavior and was wondering why some bulls do that.

I just picked up 4 conventional OCC Juneau x Donna embryos from Coleman. I have never done any ET work in my herd. I have a good embryologist a few miles from me so I figured I’d take a leap of faith. Any tips for a beginner? What are the most important factors that you think effect...

I have been trying to find a book that has been mentioned here quite a few times but I can’t for the life of me remember the author or title. From what I understand it was written by an old guy that correlated physical appearance of cattle to fertility and other traits. I think he was a grass...

Thinking about buying embryos out of a Donna cow flushed with Regis. Does anyone have any experience with Regis daughters or sons?

I may be looking to hard but it appears my 2 year old bull is developing a roached up back in the last 1/3 of his top line. I started to notice it a few months ago after he injured his front shoulder and I have to treat him for a fairly large abscess on it. He lost quite a bit of body...

I saw the thread for fall breeding, but I can't be the only one that is starting too narrow down my semen selection and AI protocol for spring. As of right now I am considering using these bulls: SAV Bruiser (already have in tank, love the Circle A Alliance data, semen used to be cheap but I...

I gotta few cows that could use some more bone structure, some off their weaned calves have what I call pencil legs and I don’t wanna go every far down that road. I’m shooting for a sire with around average ced, no negative birth weight, 20s in milk and not a crazy low $E.

I have a cow that has too much frame for me and could use more efficiency, she makes great freezer beef steers. I was wondering if there were any sires out there too reduce frame size and add a little efficiency, as I don’t wanna keep any females out of her if they are gonna carry on these less...

There is some Right Time semen coming up on an auction and I was wondering what the fine folks at CT would pay for it.

I have heard you are supposed to wait a couple weeks to feed hay and I have also heard that is a myth. I went digging on the internet and all I could pull up where people worried about feeding fresh hay to their horses. I want to know what the wise people of the cattle forums think. I have ran...

I'm wanting to someday get into the world of selling seedstock, I know it's easier said than done, but first I have soooo many questions on how to approach this. Disclaimer: A lot of these might be stupid questions to the experienced cattle breeders, but just bare with me I am trying too learn...

I'm fairly new to raising cattle and extremely new to building an angus herd. I took over my grandfathers farm, at the age of 21, when he passed away 6 years ago and have been slowly replacing the commercial cows with purebred angus with the goal of selling seedstock and local consignment sales...
