Actually if he turned in bulls a week later he could hit anything that comes in heat during the next cycle (21 days) he could have close to a 40 day calving season. I would take that 86 percent in the first heat athen the rest in the second heat. Given that AI calves sometimes show up two...

The Estrus planner you had up a few weeks ago is handy and easy to use. Takes all the thinking out for me at least to figure out what day we are doing what. Anything that can make my life simpler I enjoy.

After going to an ABS meeting this week I got to thinking on what was said about heifer development. We should not push them at all after weaning until approx 60-70 days before breeding and then feed them hard to flush them into some fleah without getting them over fat, stay in the BCS of 5 -...

Try some back tag glue, sale barn or vet should have some.

Seems to me I would work with the school or someone in the class so you can buy in volume and divide it out to save some money. Good luck with your et work. We do ours through a vet that has years of experience. Don't know where you live but Nebraska came down hard on a reproduction...

It depends on wether they are purebred or commercial commercial three days after AI bulls go in different breed so can tell. Purebred we wait 20 days unless they are AIed to bull that will do clean up also then straight in. Those we AI to a large group to hope to have a tight calving group of...

Just finished preg ckecking the herd. The last eight to calve on our place were they last week of April and first week of May. We put Cidr's in so we could breed them 30 - 38 days post partum and 75% stuck to AI. They will be moving up from late April/May to mid March. Yes the 30 day one was...

are you giving a shot of gnrh when you breed them? First question are you time AIing our syching and breeding off of heat? If time breeding give the gnRh shot. We time bred the entire herd this year and we were happy with the way it went, to early to give you a percentage bred yet. Used...

If you cant leave them for 45 days then we move ours within the first three days after breeding and then let them be for the summer. Jeff

Alan Where is the weight in this calf by that I mean is he really stout or is he any longer than your other calves. We had a cow that averages in the mid 80's over six calves had one this year at 120 I knew the calf looked a week old when I found him navel still wet. The cow was fine the...

Current vet reccomendations are to treat the infection but, let the placenta take care of itself. Jeff

We feed our heifers late 9- 10 pm just hay no grain and it seems that they will calve more in the day time or right before dawn. I had read a study that this works you have to start to feed them several weeks before calving to get them on a schedule. Jeff

1 1/2 cc of micotil per 100 pounds. Catch it early and one shot will work, if later you might have to feed an electrolyte for dehydration. We have been trating this way for the last five years and had no problems. We give shot sub Q over the ribs. We also vaccinate the cows and try to...

Are they all running together? The old bull could have been in a different part of pasture. He could have been injured for part of the breeding season. Usually semen will go bad sixty days after an illness or possible injury and takes some time to work through the unhealthy semen. I guess you...

Yes, Here is is from last summer. He will be a non AI Cert bull as soon as I get the DNA info back on him. Jeff

Knersie I like what I am seeing in the calves. I will try to take pics of my yearlings tommorow for you I have one bull and a couple heifers. They seem to have capacity and plenty of muscling. I do like the pigment. I am really waiting to see how the daughters will do. We will breed our...

As long as you put padding around the pvc splint you should be good for 4 - 6 days with out worry. It bothers me to think that if you can catch the calf then you should do something for it. With animal welfare such a big issue it looks bad to see calves triing to crawl around to nurse. I am...

Mine is a Formost and I like it alot. Jeff
