I’ve briefly read/watched about hair whorls and endocrine system. However I have never heard of anyone talking about the stifle muscle relating to fertility. If you have any recommendations for reading material I’d be interested.

I buy my seed stock brangus cows from a producer in the Joplin area. I’m not sure if he comingles his steer calves. He doesn’t sell his until they’re between 10-12 months old. I believe calves going through that barn get docked some if they aren’t slicked off.

How much did the other 5 flush brothers fetch?

I was asking what you meant by saying the deeper you get into angus the more fertile they get early.

Right but most people breed their heifers at 12-14 months. What’s the advantage of having a heifer cycle at 7 months versus 9 or 10 months?

How much you have to feed them has more to do with how big of a mature cow you want. What do you mean by angus being more fertile early?

Fertility has as much to do with the producer as it does the cow. The only way I see to have a truly fertile cow herd is by breeding it. It’s a whole lot harder to cull something for breeding back late when you have a dollar amount attached to it as opposed to something you raised.

Just because something is registered it doesn’t necessarily make them any better then there commercial counter parts. If it were me I’d be looking at buying registered cattle for as close to commercial prices as you can find. It doesn’t hurt as much when you miss.

Is there a correlation with the most fertile ones cycling back the fastest post calving? Talking in number of days not necessarily the first one to calve being the first to cycle.

Is there anything that you notice is different data wise between your most fertile cows and an average cow in the herd?

About how much does it cost to setup that moo monitor system? What all does the data show you besides heats?

I think everyone was talking about the final cut son that was linked. I like wr duke 228/f a bunch.

This is a first generation ultra black that I have. The ear will vary based on the bull used. https://brangus.goregstr.com/animals/691801

What’s the pedigree on the bull?

So you think in general if a cow is able to be flushed and produce a good amount of embryos that she would naturally be able to breed year after year? I’m not trying to beat a dead horse here. I’d just like to know for future reference.

My question is how can you tell how fertile a donor cow is? If a cow is registered and her calves are recorded you have a fairly good idea of her fertility and production. With donors your not going to flush the ones that don’t produce enough embryos but if they aren’t weaning a calve every year...

Would you prefer to buy a bull out of a 12 year old cow that’s never missed a calf or a donor cow? Let’s assume price, epds and phenotype are similar.

Oh ok it’s a supplement that you feed in addition to hay because it cuts down how much hay they consume. I thought you might be feeding it instead of hay.
