    Warning to the Beginners and Wantabees.

    Caustic, nice buy. I wish I had a bigger place. I've got plenty of grass for the cows I've got but I don't want to risk running out by overstocking.

    The paper end of A.I.

    Alan, As to the first question Dun already answered that. The second depends on the breed you'll be working with. With Limousin there is no certificate required to register your calf. However, DNA is required if the offspring is from an embryo flush or if the you wish to collect your...

    Bull vs A.I. $ Value

    Everyone is figuring cost for A.I. with a tech. Go to school and learn how to do it yourself. Its been 10 years or so since I went to a Select Sire school but it cost around $150. After school no more tech costs. Simply purchase a tank and the semen you want to use.

    Body Condition Score?

    Thanks for the all the reply's. The calf is not crossbred it is purebred limousin when it was born it was black as could be and I assume that the color is a winter baby coat.

    Waiting for Spring

    I'll take one in a few days. I have to leave town for a few days on my day job. I wanted to submit one of her and her 3 month old heifer and get some opinions, I'm afraid I may be overfeeding her a little and she may be getting too much condition. I'm thinking of letting my son show her...
