I was pretty worried about the BSE this year due to the extreme cold roughly 60 days ago. It caught me more off guard than it should have and I had no real bedding down. However, this was yesterday's results. SC was 43, >90% normal morphology, and M4 concentration. My vet does almost nothing...

Here is my latest personal experience. I had a yearling bull last year. BSE was done within days of him being a year old. At that time his SC was 38. I put him on 5 heifers in late April which later calved in a 2 week period. I turned him in with 13 older cows in May. All but one of those...

I wish I was only at 75%. New bull for me too. Not done yet, but 12 heifers and 2 bull calves so far and I prefer to buy replacement heifers!!!

Congrats! That's awesome. I need me one of those!!

A good friend of mine managed a ranch of over 1000 head on the good side of the Red River ;) from north Texas. HE was an excellent record keeper. He tells me he showed making significantly more money on the spring herds than the fall ones. I've never had fall cattle but was thinking of...

Good luck!!

Funny replies! I agree with liking those kind, but being familiar with this cow, I would have bet you a steak dinner this one was GONE!! I am just glad I wasn't mad enough to haul her to town 7 days later so I'd wind up with an orphan calf. I actually know a guy who did something similar to...

On Mothers Day, I banded a 3 day old calf that belonged to the most wary cow I own. That being said, even she is reasonably calm and easily handled. After banding, that calf disappeared for 8 days. I have most cows calve on 45 acres I live on. There is probably 3-4 acres of brushy growth...

Select Sires guy in Oklahoma is WAY too busy to come to my place more than once or twice. He will only do timed because of that and unfortunately I really don't have enough time to watch enough to go observed heat. Sounds like you're having awesome luck though!

Last year was my first time to really AI many in hoes of getting some really good replacements. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know how anyone does 100% AI. I did everything on a timed AI to simplify things a little, and I realize that alone carries less success. However, no matter...
