This year we are following the advice of a local breeder and our vets. Gave an injectable wormer and Multi Min before start of protocol. We keep out Concept Aid year round. We don’t give any live virus vaccinations on vet advice.

Walking sires

I thought about learning how. I’m 71 and even if I learned how our facilities are still 20 miles from the house.

Times AI is the only option for many of us if we want to AI. If you have the time and the cattle are close then standing heat is an option. When you’re cattle and facilities are 20 miles away and you’re AI tech 90 miles it isn’t an option

Thanks for the pictures. We are going to AI our replacements and only a few mature cows. Will likely leave the Iconic in my tank this year. Going too use Jet Black on many of the replacements. Been told he crosses well on the Growth Fund influence

Be interested how he develops. Drag Iron didn’t work in our herd.

I have no current pictures. This is from early October. A early March calf. Just weaned him a few weeks ago because I didn’t have a place for him. He is a big calf. No creep. Mother’s milk and grass.

Don’t have any current pictures. Didn’t have a place for him so just weaned him 2 weeks ago. Will post a picture for on early October. He is a early March calf.

The bull calf we have has stood out from birth. Will see how he develops. Might be the best we have raised.

Thanks for the reply. I may keep his semen and try it later. What I have seen are nice cattle if they fit a breeders criteria. I haven’t seen the dams so maybe they were short.

This is Double Decker after he came off cows.

At the time I bought the semen I hadn’t seen any progeny. It was on the advice of another breeder. I have since seen some progeny. They are shorter and more refined in muscling and bone for what we desire. Nice cattle if they fit your criteria. Just because they don’t fit my criteria doesn’t...

Finally ordered what maybe the last semen for 24. Ordered Jet Black and Connealy Armory for heifers. Will use mostly Jet Black. Will have a lot of replacements sired by Growth Fund sons. Stock Fund and a son we bought. Been told Jet Black crosses well on them. Have a few straws of Stock Fund...

Have seen a lot of their genetics. Have a little in the background of a few. From what I’ve seen and those I’ve talked too short frame size and low growth are 2 areas of concern and reasons they have either quit using them or use them on a limited basis. Have been told there are a few outliers...

I liked his posts about cattle and his views on breeding and management. He was passionate. I like to read and discuss different views. That is how we all learn if we do it with an open mind and respect. He showed a lack of respect for those with different opinions some times. He is the same on...

Two years ago I ordered semen from a service. It was supposedly shipped on a Monday. I called on a Thursday I think and stated it hadn’t arrived. On Friday was notified it was sitting somewhere. My understanding was they would ship a new shipment on the following Monday. But on that Monday a...

I saw some positive comments from some I respect. Did some research and bought 4 straws from my tech. Was under the impression he was close to a 6 frame. Then have seen where he maybe smaller. That some are more refined in muscling and bone. Then saw one that was bought at Congress. He was the...

Will be interested in how you’re Iconic’s develop. I have his semen in the tank. Started hearing mixed reviews. So haven’t used him.

So far a son of Brown’s Double Decker maybe the best calf we have raised. The Stock Fund calves are good again. A little inconsistent in type and frame size. We got one Bloodline heifer that is good. Disappointing so far have been the Baldridge Drag Iron calves. Bone has been lighter than I...
