We freeze brand at 1 yr old. We use liquid nitrogen. We clip the area, spray it with alcohol until it's soaked and then hold the brand on them for 40 seconds. We push the iron fairly tight so when they jump the brand doesn't come off the hide. We've found that if the brand loses contact even...

The hay they're on is ground alfalfa and grass hay. The hay was put up in good condition. Almost all our AI calves came around a week early this year, so I'm hoping this is just a fluke thing.

This is 2 calves out of 150 so far, just to give a clear picture. If there was a chemical/mold issue in the stalks, wouldn't more calves have been affected? No road work where they were at. They were moved to 5 different fields in central Nebraska before heading home. When we put up hot wire in...

We've had 2 calves born premature. Both were born about 30 days early, and weighed around 40 lbs. They were both fully developed, but have very short hair. Both are alive and otherwise healthy. The calves are out of cows of 2 different breeds and were AI sired by 2 different bulls - so we're...

Our only window to calve is Jan-March, otherwise my husband's out in the field farming and working his busiest time for his 8-5 job during the 'normal' spring and fall calving seasons. Summer calving doesn't pencil out for us selling bulls, it costs too much to hold them and our customers...

It's 60 ft x 40 ft. We calve in the back part, the tractors, etc are in the front. But that will change this year as we're building a shed solely for the machinery. So we'll probably end up making 2-4 more regular pens and extend out the open area.

We calve January-March. Our barn looks like like this: The maternity pen has a headgate and split gates so that calves can suck while they cow is in the headgate. The other 3 pens are just made out of regular panels (the front panels all have gates). The warming pens are insulated and have...

From the ones I've seen, the Tarentaise x hereford should work well. I've never seen tarentaise crossed with brangus, or any other eared cattle so I'm not sure how that cross would work.

Here is Monopoly's mature picture, from Matt Lautner's Blog http://mattlautnercattle.blogspot.com/2 ... -2-11.html

He is 6.8% Chianina, 64.9% Angus, 14.8% Maine Anjou, and 13.2% "other" which could be Charolais, Shorthorn, Simmental, etc. He is a registered Chi, but anything with just a bit of Chi can be registered. It looks like this on that website you listed, under the DOB and Carrier status - Pct...

We flushed a 7 yr old cow last year in February and bred her for a natural calf in April with AI. She flushed 12 #1 embryos, and stuck AI. We flushed the cow again this year, only got 4 #1's. She has came in heat already, and will be bred again next heat for a natural calf. The other cow we...

I have a friend who got a job as an AI tech for Genex. She handles about 10 large dairies. If you look into some of the larger semen distributors, you might find something there. I found out from her that even though she already knew how to AI, she still had to take a 2 week course, and...

We have charged in the past $500-$700 for lease. But upon return, the bull goes straight to the 'fat pen' as we don't want any disease introduced into our herd. We don't lease all that often unless we have a bull left over from the private treaty sale.

We've used it for several years, and usually it has good results. Last year about half of the heifers didn't come into heat at the end. Don't know what went on there. We get our MGA from our local feed mill.

I've never seen anything out of Cowboy Troy, and being a 6 yr. old bull that might not be a good thing.

If you want an Angus, try Silveira's Style or a Plainview Lutton son.

His calves are just hitting the ground, but Lautner's I-80 calves have been fairly small on BW. Smilin Bob is being marketed as a low bw bull also, but once again, his calves are just now coming.

Ha ha, no. He's actually Northwest.

We have actually been taking cows to this guy for several years, and everyone in my area swears by him, I'll definitely be giving him something when we take the donor back to him. I've been very impressed with these calves. They stand out against all the others, they have the bone, thickness...

A while back I put up a picture of a Red Angus cow we bought in this thread viewtopic.php?f=19&t=62218 . And we flushed her to Northline Fat Tony (He won Champion bull in Denver this year). We took a big gamble there, I found him in a semen catalog, liked his looks and EPDs, and thought he'd be...
