Nice looking heifers you will be smiling all the way to the bank

Coach I just checked in to CT today and saw this hope you’re ok I didn’t know you had surgery. You take care of yourself. Hopefully the multiple births aren’t coming from the bull side. Are the cows giving you multiples older cows I have a theory that older cows start dropping multiple eggs...

We tag within 12 hours of birth, tag weigh and treat navel.

I bet it happen more than many realize i hope for your sake the cow has an ET calf that would be a heck of a calf at least genetically anyway.

I would say AI calf but also thankful for DNA because it’s just a wag until the dna results come back. Nice save on the cow that started this thread it will be interesting to see what the dna tells you on that one. very interesting thread thanks for sharin.

Why does it always have to be one of the best in the dang herd? I am so sorry for your loss not how you want to start the year for sure.

i had one calve up on a pond bank back 25 years ago. Cow stood up baby slid righ out and head first down the bank into the dang pond. I ran over to try to get to the calf hit the afterbirth both feet flew out from under me I ended up in the pond right next to the calf. Got the calf out and...

That makes for a very productive herd, I can see where it also keeps your herd young.

Yep I’m Debbie

Don’t think so just bad luck, been using that batch for several years so thinking it Wasn’t the semen, haven’t had any issues with the tank and we are careful with handling. Now if the cows bred to Charlo all show up open when we check them then I will be testing a straw.

Final report received from UF, just figured I would share the entire program, hopefully it works.

I trust your math better than mine and Mike is a far better tech than me, I didn’t do any AI for years because Mike is so good I hated to lose the % safe. Then Mike got laid up one year during breeding season and I figured I better start doing some, so now I breed some every year but my...

54% is the total % for each of us I bred 12 got 6 bred so I did 50% of the # I bred Mike got 51% on the group he bred. Overall we AI’d 31 and 17 were ultrasounded safe. My math said 54% but UF is calling it 53% I figure for the study 53% would be correct one heifer didn’t cycle so was not AI...

the team fro UF was at the farm yesterday to ultrasound the heifers. We AI’d 31 of the 32 heifers one did not show a heat. We had a 53% conception rate to the AI. We had two AI techs our herdsman Mike and I split up the breeding his conception rate on his group was 51% while my success was...

That is the way we did it before both of our backs went kaput. Mike does 90% of the weighing and tagging now but his back is not what it once was either, although he is strong enough to still do it that way. a Number of years ago we had a calf catcher built that hooks up to a four wheeler. It...

Well we pulled cidrs had 21 of 32 ready to Breed between 53 and 54 hours after pulling the cidr. 4 more at 66 hours then another 2 at 76 so 5 have not shown any sign of heat as of this afternoon. We pulled cidrs and gave shots to Another 38 yesterday then put cidrs in another 19. We have a...

We are one and done when we AI the bulls go in 1/1 with the exception of the recip pen we don’t put eggs in until the 10th so the bull will go in on the 11th on that group.

Sounds like we’re having the same kind of luck lost one At two days, then another one that was a hard pull this was a cow not a heifer. Then found one dead at two months old. First set of twins one live one dead second set of twins both dead third set of twins bull and heifer she loves the...
