    Breed Heifer or Breed Cow/calf pair

    I would go to a ranch within a hundred or so miles from you that has cattle you like and a ranch that is accepted by folks around you (such that people purchase bulls from them)--usually they are fair and will treat you right I would purchase as many older cows as I could. Usually they have a...

    Angus Question: Daughters

    Yes, I have looked at Pathfinders. However, can't a Pathfinder be made? Just thinking on paper, but if I had ten cow herds of 10 cows each, I could put a cow in the lowest herd who was only 10% of the best cow. And she could become a pathfinder. Or can't Pathfinders be lost? I could put a...

I want to find a bull or bulls who produce great daughters so that I can breed them to my three older cows that I just purchased.

    parasitic maggots??

    Not sure what this is? Yep, pine tar. Stinks to high heaven. No wonder the flies don't want to land on it. But when they do, they RUSH off! hehe

    parasitic maggots??

    I'd forgotten about that. I agree that it is remarkable. We try all kinds of new stuff that doesn't work half as good as the old stuff did, and it costs 4 times as much! Kay

    Timed breeding using CIDR's- success rate?

    I think that the Estrus Alert is a great idea. Can you tell me about the lutalyse and cystorelin? I don't know what this is or does? You had to rebreed twice with how many cows? I want to use some expensive bulls on my cows. Cows (we just bought) are getting older. Angus--Traveler grand...

    parasitic maggots??

    We had a sheepherder come by our place once--grazing on the range. He left behind a ewe that was nearly dead. She couldn't walk because the maggots had eaten into her leg. He left her for dead. (Really irritating that he'd just leave her to die near our house!) Probably she was torn by a...

    Timed breeding using CIDR's- success rate?

    Newbie here. Neighbor gets 70% using his method with CIDRS. Okay, now for the newbie question. I work. My husband works. We aren't home during the day. Can you please give me some hints as to how to tell the cows are in standing heat without having a bull right handy? We plan to AI.
