    Timed AI most recent trends?

    That’s exactly what we are doing. We will actually split ours into two groups and start one group five days ahead of the other. The once that don’t settle ai will be slightly more strung out for the clean up bulls. The cows we are doing will be gnrh day 1 and pg day 7 or 8 and breed in heat.

    Yes we used Architect on the 7861 daughters and all have calved unassisted to this point. Our daughter does the ear tagging and she thought that the mating added a touch of bone compared to our average. Our biggest group of 7861 daughters get bred this spring and I think we will mate them all...

    I will see if I can get a couple of pics if the 7861 daughters that have calved. They are very nice to be around. The disposition after calving is outstanding. The old bull is set to see his 7th breeding season this summer. Never had or needed to have his feet trimmed. Maternal calving ease will...

    Semen for 24

    I think he will keep you out of the ditch. Good feet, quiet disposition and the cows behind him on both sides of the pedigree are solid producers. We calved about 35 heifers to him last spring and were pleased with the calving ease. We used him again this year and will use him in 24. Too many...

    Semen for 24

    I am glad you like your Right Time calves. I attended Spickler North production sale in December. I thought the 7861 sons there displayed all of the positive traits he possesses quite well. I even bought a son to add to the bull battery here. To this point the feedback from those who used him...

    Nice looking pairs. If you want to see him in person Right Time 7861 will be at World West for the Montana Angus tour in September. At least that was the plan a month or so ago. He was busy servicing cows in North Dakota. Spicklers are expecting him to sire 60 plus calves naturally once again.

    What AI sires progeny are you impressed with? Which are you disappointed in?

    It will be interesting to see how your Right Time progeny pap test. You are not the only Wyoming breeder to use him that is pap testing. So there should be enough data to get an accurate feel of using him at elevation. His calves are quite consistent and I do expect he will be replaced by a son...

    Spring Breeding, What's Everyone Using?

    I do think the Architect daughters will be a little bit easier to maintain than the numbers might indicate. His mother is a really nice cow. Not extreme in any way. He will see heavy use since SAV bought breeding possession this Spring. The calves we have on the ground here are good. Heifers...

    Spring Breeding, What's Everyone Using?

    AI here this year S Architect and Tex Playbook on heifers S Right Time 7861 on cows. We semen test bulls tomorrow and if we come up short on bull power we will just have to ai more to Right Time 7861.We have been getting very positive feedback on calf reports thus far.

    Our daughter used Resilient on a small scale. My only criticism is they aren’t as tame as their mothers. Not crazy wild but not as quiet as I would like to see them either. I see his docility has dropped as progeny have been reported.

    I like your take in this. To me there are a lot of Resilient sons out there so he better be really good to get much market share. I see they already have 75 birth weights turned in so I guess that’s positive at least.

    All true but the warts that many ignore to get the bigger numbers are later problems for the commercial producers such as myself. Feet, udders, fertility, maternal disposition after calving and overall longevity have suffered under the system.

    Oh the numbers. The formula that puts these indexes is pretty complicated but does it make them better? Higher milk numbers give you a better $m but is that really a good thing? Realistically +25 milk for our local environment is enough.

    Nice enough looking bull. He is carrying plenty of condition. The bottom side of the pedigree isnt known for the best foot quality.
