What sale? I heard they were getting really pricey! Blessings Valerie

Those EPDs won't mean much if the heifers don't have large enough pelvic scores to have a calf safely. It's $2 a head here to have the vet check them, those that aren't large enough go to salebarn. Blessings Valerie

Sorry about your your open heifers... We started testing bulls for customers as they buy them, afraid your situation would happen to a customer.. not good! Dun is right though, no test I know of for libido, except preg testing..;(

Hope your cow is ok. Our 13 year old cow died and due to calf, doc said I had four minutes to cut her open, find the calf and get it out to save it.... too late beautiful bull calf died. I now know where to cut, praying I NEVER have to do that again!!! Blessings Valerie

Actually , our AI Technician has been doing AI for over 30 years - raised on a dairy farm. We only had 2 Jersey heifers and one out of the three took. We discovered the unknown need for the smaller AI tube when he was there to AI. Fortunately for us, the girls were late coming in heat (also...

ABS rep - works at a vet clinic and it was Jersey semen, maybe that was the problem - Jersey semen. LOL We just figured that Angus would be the same way. $60 straw is still pretty expensive. Blessings Valerie

Our longest was 21 days late and was verified to AI sire. I would have guessed the herd bull, good thing we had the test. Blessings Valerie

I was told by AI rep that sexed semen had a 10% settle rate and we had to use 2 straws at a time... plus, we had to buy a special AI instrument because the straws are much smaller than regular semen... NEVER AGAIN!! Hope you are more successful. Blessings Valerie

We had 1 heifer yearling do that. We re-weaned her lol. We actually put her in with some newly weaned calves and that seems to have broke her of the bad habit... at least we have not caught her at it again. Blessings Valerie

He can also be a 10! I've seen pedigrees where this has happened.. the calf has added the parents epds and forgot to divide by 2. LOL Blessings Valerie

Tiniest calf this season... 48lb heifer calf from a heifer. She's a livewire lol. She's got more get up and go than the 84lb heifer from the 3 year old cow ! Blessings Valerie

We had one bull calf born way too early and unable to stand on front feet. We were unable to save him. The rest of the female have been receiving xtra feed and molasses tubs hoping to overcome the problem. So far, 9 calves alive and OK . #9 born this morning and very tiny but seems pretty...

What did the calf weigh? Valerie

That alien must of got your heifers too!! I got one we can't find the daddy to with DNA testing! Valerie

bulls get 60 day to breed cows PERIOD. That is before heifer calves are old enough to star cycling. Heifers are born March and April, bull goes out from June 1 to Aug 1. Heifers born Sept and Oct , bulls go our Dec 1 to Feb1. Valerie

We had one heifer that was bred to death! No longer leave bull in year round, he gets 60 days..period. Bought a heifer that we did not know was bred, she calved at 15 months and every 9months and 2 weeks till her daughter above was killed. After that, every year till we sold her at 10 years...

Nothing cuter than babies playing! Thanks for the pics. Valerie

Have you called a vet yet? Valerie

We've had 2. One was not discovered until Doc tried to place a CIDR... it would not fit, evidently the cow had lost the bull fetus sometime during gestation. The other had heat cycles and doc just called her free-martin...I've always wondered about that one. Valerie
