    Spring Breeding, What's Everyone Using?

    Pretty much all the EO calves I have been around have been a bit high headed. But they have been dang good. LOL

    Stacking Baldy Gene in Simmental

    It can be very hit and miss, and some genetic lines seem to always give you some form of white on the head/face. What I try to avoid is breeding cows that have white socks, white switches and white bellies, breed them to a blaze or baldy face bull and you can get white all over the place...

    Old Simmental Semen from 1999

    Love Power Drive females. Wish I could've started with about 30 of them as my base cows.

    Flushing Advice

    I have not. I had a red angus heifer last year that I was very tempted to try but I decided not to.

    Flushing Advice

    I will not, and would not conventional flush a heifer. Its pretty tough on their repro parts. You could IVF one though. That being said she would have to be a VERY VERY special heifer for me to flush. Not knowing what they will look like or how they will reproduce makes it hard for me to...

    % of bulls vs heifers from ET

    From my readings Grade 2 embryos will more often then not result in heifers. The reason they are grade 2s is because of their development or lack there of. And typically that is because of female sperm being slower to reach the egg, so its development is delayed. I will not flush with sexed...

    Correlation to show of blood after heat.

    2-3 days is what I notice here, and I watch them like a hawk. I always figured that a show of blood was a pretty good indicator that they did not catch. But it seems to me that I have plenty that do end up bred that show blood.

    % of bulls vs heifers from ET

    Higher percentage heifers here, which is kinda nice because most of my AI calves are bulls. I can't figure why I have so many AI bull calves.

    Am I Crazy????

    Nice looking red angus cattle. If she were at my place I'd certainly AI her. Look through the Pure Beef Genetics catalog and see what tickles your fancy that has relatively good CE and BW numbers. I'm a fan of RA cattle and would go that route. I'd probably use Damar Next on her. Thomas...

    Am I Crazy????

    She's a pretty nice looking heifer from those pics. I'd love to see a more natural picture of her so I could evaluate her a little better. You haven't told us a breed, or pedigree or really any information about the heifer or your goals. So its kinda hard to make any reccomendations.

    20/20 Vision- Simmental

    Thank you. Looks like he is now 100 bucks a unit and only 200 left to sell. :roll:

    20/20 Vision- Simmental

    I wanted to add, I think he will work on a lot of stuff so I’d be willing to try him on most anything. Of the 3 ET calves I got out of him the first time, 2 were 90+ lbs, So I'd be wary on a heifer.

    20/20 Vision- Simmental

    I really like this bull and have had great luck with him. I’ve also heard that he is dead now. I’d expect his price to go up a bit. Here are a few pics of mine out of an Angus cow.

    Red Angus

    My Red Blairs Bingo, and Red Ringstead Kargo daughters have been good. Detour is another one that I like the daughters from. I've been using Red U2 Renown a bit, and I have some other Red U2 sires at KABSU that I plan on using shortly.

    Just put 4 in this morning. 3 IVF and a conventional. Cows ranged from 2yr old to 5yr old. All proven good mothers, and a few carried eggs for me last year.
