    Embryo Mating Advice

    Ron there not my type cattle, so I really couldn't say what they may be worth. I will say this $250 from the sellers side is cheap, flushing cows is costly. Most around here can be bought for $150 to $400 on average.

    Embryo Mating Advice

    If I had to pick between those, id go with the 517 x Enhance, biggest reason for me she has more calves and is a year younger than the other cow. Im not a numbers person.

    Postpartum Breeding

    I learned to just use what i have planned, I'd change because they weren't in heat like I wanted, id use a lesser bull, and most of the time they settle. Never used anything I truly didnt like. Inventoried yesterday, I've got some that needs to be thawed.

    Postpartum Breeding

    First time doing embryo question.

    Not sure Red Poll automatically makes them milk or mother, maybe! You may have never seen a heifer jump up from calving, not know what just happened and just move on, bottle or dead calf. 4 year old is the youngest I'll make a recip, 2 calves, then I have some idea about mothering and milking...

    Somethings Happen....

    The keeping them works both ways, she will probably get and stay real fat, maybe get cystic, or maybe just move along and calve. Around here no second chances, ( exception is the first one my daughter made with A I) I don't even smoke or drink, occasionally I remove my shirt LOL. I have sold...

    heat detection

    depending on her size and calves size, they may not reach her if the patch is all your watching. bull calves seem to track them pretty hard a day before they go into heat. Are you going to A I ? spend the money on a cidr if so.
