    Donor Cow Pregnancy

    I breed after the shot of Lute if they show good heat, dont think I'd put an egg in a Donor cow when a straw will accomplish the same thing , much cheaper.

    Preg checking after A.I.ing

    I'd blood test them now, only needs to be 28 days. To me it wouldn't be worth the trip charge to palpate or ultrasound. Will only cost about $14 for everything to blood test, $6 for test $7 shipping. $1 for supplies

    Preg checking after A.I.ing

    I check with a patch 17 days after A I, rebreed as needed repatch repeats 17 days after 2nd round bull goes in that day, stays 25 days. Ultrasound 30 days after hes gone. 40 head patches told the story was spot on at ultrasound. If I only had a couple I'd blood test at 28 days, put a cidr in the...

    Angus bull options

    Your not using Rampage, a Rampage son numbers are different. Rampage has CED of 9 BW 2.6 the bull your looking at has CED of 6 BW 2.1 he may or may not be ok for heifers, certainly not a sleep all night heifer bull. Friend or not wouldn't dictate how I manage my cattle. Just being honest i...

    Angus bull options

    I looked at the papers it says DDP not DDF if its the right number 19402918 Denson Objective Duty 0119. Means he has the potential for the DD genetic defect. Can be cleared with a test. IMO as a breeder that should never happen these animals should be free before there offered.

    Heat detection pads not sticking suggestions?

    I use estrotec, never needed any extra glue, things are black with hair when I pull them. I keep em between my shirt and t shirt, try to put on at least 5 at a time, some need pliers to pull them. All lengths of hair.

    A.i. tank questions

    I think the kid is made to the plug, old. In 2 days you shouldn't notice any drop if they fill it slow, get something to measure after its filled, then 2 days measure it again. Mine looses about 3 liters a month, I'd guess 3 inches or so.

    How many hours after pulling CIDR?

    If I had to pick a time to TAI it would be 66hrs, seems to split heifers and cows, I dont like TAI I'd rather breed them when needed, at 72 everything gets a straw, also gnrh for everything, rod out gnrh in.

    Cidr protocol expectations

    Fall Breeding What is everyone using..

    294 just caught my eye looking at the book, he is a total outcross for me. He has enough performance and not to extreme. The foot score doesnt bother me ( maybe it should) reason is if its a true true number I have no cows that can walk or raise a calf. A simmental guy was telling me how well...
