Does anyone have any experience with IVF embryos? I know that there have been changes in the last couple of years that improved pregnancy rates but I would like to know if they are on par with conventional embryos now. Thank you.

76Bar, So, if they don't show any interest at 4 months, they make a career change?

Thank you!

Another wonderful product from Ireland. Thanks.

I think I misphrased this...at what age is a young bull calf likely to follow a heifer or cow in heat? If you are expecting a heifer to be in heat but she only shows mucus....and the young bull is not following her...what do you think?

At what age would a young bull calf become a good heat detector? If the heifer has mucus but the bull calf is not following her what would you think?

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with either the Cow Manager heat detection from Select Sires or the Moocall Heat detection system from Ireland. The main difference is that the MooCall requires you to have a teaser or gomer bull and you place an electronic collar around his neck...the...

What do you look at first on a bull's feet...claw or angle? What's the first thing that will cause problems...angle or claws? So, Baldridge Bronc and his brothers have really good epds for Claw and average for Angle. So, using them would be a step in the right direction but would you...

Is there a heat detection system that isn't $2,000 or more? I'm wondering if I could try a pedometer with a phone app to track a heifer I need to breed. It seems crazy that you should have to pay thousands of dollars...I know they are made for dairies.

Nesikep, I'm sorry but what breed of cattle are they and what kind of birthweights/calving ease do they have? Thanks.

I would not be looking to add milk if I thought the cow produced enough milk. The bulls that I mentioned....Gar Prophet was in the top 25 Angus bulls by registrations up to and including 2017... Tex Playbook is prominently displayed in this year's Select Sires beef catalog and one of the most...

I have an Angus cow with a milk epd of 18 and I don't think that was enough for her calf. How much impact will it have if I breed her to a bull like Tex Playbook with a milk epd of +38 or Gar Prophet with a milk epd of +32. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much for the feedback. I ordered one today.

Any thoughts/experience with the scales on Ebay and/or Amazon for weighing yearlings/adult cattle? Some of them are just the bars and you have to put it together. Just wondering how reliable they are and what kind of setup people use. Thanks in advance.

If you used female sexed semen from Sav Raindance, would you consider using him on a heifer?

So a friend tells me that people usually buy the biggest(tallest) bull without regard to SEN. What do you think?

The two bulls with positive $EN that stick out to me are Connealy Consensus 7229 and Hoover Dam.

How reliable is the Angus $EN? What's the highest $EN number you will use? Thanks in advance. Also, do you look at DMI at all?

NEFarmWife, You have a shared addiction. I usually just buy semen since I'm not close to any sales. I really like Bubs Southern Charm. I also like Final Answer. I like Plattemere Weigh Up more now that he is unavailable. He has a son and I can't think of his name right now but he looks a lot...

Thanks to all of you for your help. I wish I had an Atwoods around here...none in Florida. We'll see what I can find around here.
