For those of you who deliver the night before a sale, what is an acceptable time frame to you for your calves to be run through the ring the next day? Sale starts at 10:30am. Trying to beat the heat I delivered some to a sale at 10pm, they still hadn't gone through the the ring at 4pm the next...

Anybody ever put out liquid feed in tubs? I've got several empty protein lick tubs laying around, was thinking about filling them with some Super 40 liquid to feed during the upcoming cold snap.

So I forgot to write down on my calendar a service for a cow a couple weeks ago. Three days ago I put a cidr in her. I just updated my breeding book with today's services and noticed her entered in. She was due to cycle today if she hadn't settled. Now what do I do? Pull it and hope for the...

What are 3 in 1's going for in your area? I've got a couple I've been thinking about letting go, and the time seems right. Cows, angus or angus x, were AI'd and are due the end of August. Calves are probably 3-350lbs, maybe more.

Which waterer has the most efficient cup heater? I have an older Ritchie and it works but sucks a lot of wattage. Any suggestions? It will be sheltered somewhat from the wind. Maybe ten cows will use it in winter on average.

Any tricks to getting a cow to accept both calves? I have her penned up with both calves, but she definitely has a favorite. I put her in the chute and let the calves nurse so I know both got some closterum within a couple hours of birth. I tried putting some calf claim on them ( just smells...

What do you do when cows show no signs of heat off of cidrs? I know you fixed time AI, but odds off them settling to that in my experience is nill. Wait em out for signs of heat? Wait it out for 21 days? Go back with lute in 10 days? Just curious what others experiences are.

I am going to AI around 20 fancy black angus heifers in a couple weeks. If the prices get over $2400/hd for bred heifers come January, I'm going to try and sell these girls. My question is this, do you think they would be more appealing/desirable bred black angus or bred to a Hereford? If a...

So I ended up buying a bred low line heifer, price seemed right. So what can I expect as far as calving and mature size? She's bred to a low line bull. How is their docility?

I talked to ABS the other day and they said that they are having difficulties collecting semen from him. My sales rep told me they have no inventory on him at the collection facility, only whats in the field. My question is this: Is he one of those bulls that's going to be worth a couple hundred...

Never calved in January before. At what point, temperature wise, do you begin to worry about a 4 to 5 day old calf surviving cold temps? I put a calf coat on her and shes out of the wind with momma. Plenty of bedding. She has been nursing well. It was zero this morning and she seemed fine. So...

A couple weeks ago at the sale barn I bought two angus heifers that were bump to go. Well the weather is terrible and one of them decides its a good day to calve. 32 degrees with sleet and freezing rain. :bang: After about an hour of her not making much progress I decided to help. Little bugger...

... I was thinking of AI'ing a couple of Hereford heifers to a Galloway ( they ultrasounded open today :bang: :cry2: :drink: ). Anybody have any recommendations for a good bull I can get straws for ASAP? I would probably retain a heifer calf or two from this cross if I was lucky enough to get...
