    CIDRs

    kenneth -- the reason dun asked this question to begin with is he posted incorrect info in another thread about how the CIDR's in the US COULD NOT be used more than once and instead of being embarrassed over my correction of him --he opened a new post here today--- so that is why I told him to...

    synchronization question

    This is incorrect information --- CIDR's can be used twice if you wash them with clean cold water, put them in a ziplock bag individually and seal them. The only problem I see with doing this (which I prefer not to do) is the possible and liklihood of Vibrio. A CIDR costs $8.95 a piece and if...

    AI & Genetic Diversity

    If, and I'm not sure of the numbers, these AI calves are mostly from a relatively limited number of "popular" AI bulls, wouldn't that limit the genetic diversity over time? From a PB Angus and Simmental Breeder: It is true that more than 50% of the calves born in these 2 breeds are AI sired...

    placenta

    A cow makes so many different things and they are just infinitely useful, for example: The cow's placenta gives us cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The dura mater is used in human brain surgery as an implant, the lungs and the cow mucosa are used to make heparin - an anti-coagulant drug. Steroid...

    Which AI bull do you use and why?

    Which AI bull do you select for your heard and why, and how long does it take to produce a good quality Heifer from AI breeding. The art of matching breedings takes some time, but rule of thumb is that you try to find a bull that compliments the cow you are breeding-- for example: If your cow...

    1st Heat after calving

    I have seen them in heat 30 days after calving but in order for her Uterine body to reach some normalcy post-calving she needs a lil more time. I suggest you breed cows back to stay within your calving season -- not early and not late.... , but it it nice to know that some cows will show a heat...

    Does anyone wait past 15 months to breed heifers?

    depends on your objective--- Do you really need your heifers to be calving as 2 yr olds??? Have bred heifers at 15 months with good success and also have waited a bit longer say 18 months with good success. I do notice that on older heifers they require less inputs post-calving and breed back on...
