Don't know if if applies to your situation, but I killed a bull's fertility, at least temporarily, last year by treating him with Cydectin. It was the first time I used Cydectin...always used Ivermectin before. And yes, I know they say that Cydectin won't do that - but I have proof, in my...

I've tried half sib matings with several of my bulls with good success. Also some sire/daughter matings and son/mother matings. You learn more about your breeding program through doing these kind of matings in a purebred herd. The calves from half sibs will generally be a little smaller at...

They're really getting bad about that in a lot of places. Something that used to never happen. Shoot them and keep quiet about it. I understand some of them are "protected".

Ahhh - another "voice" of reason! :banana: :banana: :banana:

I can personally attest that in MY case it was indeed also my "tough luck"!

I can see that the legalization of marijuana in Colorado is already affecting the good sense of some of its residents! :tiphat:

Sorry that you're having this experience. Maybe the blood test is wrong and she's bred. My experience with Star Lake's "guarantee" was that it sure wasn't guaranteed to make a customer - yes, even a REPEAT customer - happy! :bang: :bang: :bang: Once the dispersion was scheduled, customer...

Freudian slip? :banana: :banana: :banana: :tiphat:

It could just be that he's feeling better and finally hitting that cow's udder more than he was. But check him!

I think when you use the word "terminal" with a Hereford bull it's a stretch! But I would pick Harland as the best choice for the combination of calving ease and growth. As far as replacement heifers go, I'm becoming more and more convinced that UPS Domino 3027 is the best female producer in...

Both Genex and ABS are getting an assortment of really good Hereford bulls together: http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?catalog=Beef&SearchName=&SearchNAAB=&Breed=Hereford&Search_Sire.x=28&Search_Sire.y=8&action=RESULTS http://abs-bs.absglobal.com/beef/hereford_ss_main.asp? For calving...

I'm assuming that you mean KCF BENNETT 9126J S100: Typical cross of Line 1 and Felton's genetics. Not a lot of accuracy in his EPDs yet, but he should be a good bull for a heifer. He will probably produce as advertised with a moderate size and heavy on milk. His type typically does OK in...

I sent you a PM regarding this semen. Thanks, George

I believe Achiever was an ABS bull. George

Herfdog, I sent you a PM over on the other board. Thanks, George

I don't think it's Macon's deal - somebody named Lynn Levins, according to the e-mail. I just looked and the last e-mail attempt I made was on 1/3/11. I'll probably make another attempt, but expect the same results that I, and others, have had before. Edited to add: I just sent out another...

I've yet to receive a reply to my phone call or my e-mail from that posting. I, and a couple of others I've known, finally gave up. :o Thanks for trying, though! :tiphat:

A great Hereford bull for making mama cows, but that's about twice what it's been selling for in other places over the last year or so. The Achiever son that's pictured is: FHF 8403 STARBUCK 19H I would like to find some semen from him.

And remember the MOST important numbers are the accuracies! Those tell you what degree of faith, if any, that you can put in the EPDs. Take a close look at Table 2 in this article: http://redangus.org/node/109/Accuracy/Understanding_Accuracies.pdf The Red Angus version...

But the breed average BW EPD for Murray Greys in 2009 was +3.0, so a +5 would be only a difference of +2 when compared to the breed average. This particular bull was a product of breeding a "low" BW EPD cow to a "high" BW EPD bull. Averaged together, his "pedigree" BW EPD should have been...
