Response was very good. Better than I have ever had before. I synchronized 15 cows in this group and 14 of the 15 were in standing heat. The heat also seemed like a stronger response than normal. Only had one cow that didn't respond and she was time breed. As for conception I won't know until we...

I started my synchronization protocol last night. I inserted Cidrs and gave a shot of Lutalyse to my cows. I’m trying the 7 & 7 Synch this year to see if it increases conception. My Select Sires rep recommended it. I’m not using it on my heifers. Anyone else trying this...

I’m using SS Niagara Z29 this year, I have been told he improves udders and feet and will add a little frame. Sounds like what you are looking for.

I had a really nice 1st calf heifer that prolapsed after she gave birth. Was able to get the vet there in time, he got everything put back in. I thought I would have to cull her after she weaned the calf but he said she would be fine, so I kept her. That was three years ago and she just had her...

004 will make some beautiful daughters, but they can be a little high strung. I would only use him on some pretty docile cows.

Just a couple of my new editions. Both cows are registered Balancers. Calves are sired by my reg red balancer bull. This is one of my commercial Gelbvieh’s with a baldy calf from a reg. Hereford Hometown 10Y son.

Anyone else that has used Cuda or Long Haul please share your thoughts and calf pictures.

I have recently been talking to Roger at Cattlemans' Connection about Trade Secret. I didn't have a big enough order this year to justify the shipping so I decided to wait until next year to order my Gelbvieh semen. I would like to see pictures of his calves and any updates on him. So do you...

I have JRI Trade Secret on my list to purchase for next year. Good looking bull, I will be curious how his calves perform and if his EPD's will change.

What is your breed and what bulls are you planning to use this fall? I’ve been going through deciding what bulls I will be using this fall. I run a Registered Gelbvieh, Balancer, Angus herd. I also have a few commercial Gelbvieh cows. For my registered cows: Lacy Centerpoint 448 025F (R...

Larzbarz, Those are some nice looking Cuda heifers. What kind of birth weights are you seeing out of Cuda? Would you use him on heifers?

I agree with Little Joe, with your limited amount of space you would be much better off buying two steers and feeding them out. Personally I would look for beef breeds and pass on the longhorns. Look for something with good dispositions, it will make handling them much easier and less dangerous.

It's been my experience that some long toe foot issues are results of cuts or injuries to the hoof not something genetic. I have taken some of my cows to the vet to get hoofs trimmed and the vet usually points out the injured area and explained that the injury can cause the cow to walk on the...

Hi, I've been lurking around the forum for a while and finally joined. I live in S.W. Missouri just outside Springfield. I'm a teacher and farm 80 acres and run mostly registered Gelbvieh, Balancer and Angus cows. Have been in the cattle business for 28 years now. Started out with all registered...

Larzbarz, Thanks for the response. I will probably steer clear of Small Town Kid because of him being a carrier, he also seems to have more hair and that concerns me here in fescue county. I need my cattle to shed off well. I like the look of your Cuda calves, and would love to see some current...

I'm new around here but I've been raising cattle for 25 years. I have a few Gelbvieh and Balancer females I have been considering AI'ing to a Hereford bull to get some baldies. I would like to know if anyone has any experience with the bulls listed? I have been trying to decide which bull I...
