That bottom cow is dry and has been for quite some time.

She never raised a calf the year that picture was taken.

YUP Glad you were the bold one to bring that up. Just got on this thread, looked at that pic, thinking, looks like she's NEVER had a calf

Shocked

I went over and watched their sale this year and wasn't impressed with their cattle at all but to each their own.

If you do a search at AAA, you can see that the Spring (Winter?) calving season starts in early January and peters out by mid-March.

I don't know what that may be saying about the bottom heifer with the picture taken in April.


Sometimes if you sleuth around a little bit, you can find out quite a bit from a distance Wink .

Yes and no. They calve both spring and fall; I mostly see the bred heifers and one large group of spring calvers, which switches with a group of fall calvers in early summer.

The cow in the bottom pic may of NEVER had a calf but that doesn't mean she hasn't produced lots. I'm guessing she's flushed lots of eggs in their ET program.

Thanks for the info. I have seen there website and have read quite a bit about them. I actually know a guy who works there. He started there back during the summer. I just wanted to know what everybody else knew about their operation.
