    What is the background of the yearling heifers. What is the breed makeup, what will they weigh at calving time, what bloodlines might they be? One more thing on my previous reccomdation the Game Day cattle are known for their tremendous vogor at birth.

    select sires

    Not sure you will find a Regis semen out there as he just doesn t produce much according to our select rep. My personal reccomendation would be S Summit but without knowing anything about the females you have might just be a guess. The program the bull comes from is top notch the people behind...

    Northern Rancher

    NR was not just original he was one of the originals posters on ranchers net. My words do not do justice to the iconic figure he was here. Though I had never met him in person I felt like he was someone I have known my whole life. He never let cancer beat him mentally and never asked for...

    Retaining ownership on calves

    Feeding cattle is a margin business manage your margins and things will work out. We have finished all our home-raised calves since the late 80's. Didn't always come out ahead but on the average it has worked for us. Need to put a pencil to things once in awhile anyway to keep you on your toes.

    Registered Angus

    I guess it depends what you want the pretty type or the work and wear type. If you want pretty I guess you have already answered your question. The other thing to consider is when are you planning to flush this cow. The transplant centers are going to some pretty busy places to be come Spring...

    Bull sale season is here. Went to my first one of the year.

    Sounds like they had a dynamite sale. I see by the supplement sheet they don't provide any backfat measurements on their bulls. seems crazy to take these measurements and then not show them to your customers.

    Bull Reports

    Highest sale I have seen was Van Newkirk Herefords 111 2 yr. ols at 7400 plus average with top bull around 11,000. These prices make AI look really afforable. Maybe keep your own bulls back for clean-up.

    Let the fun begin!!

    I have only seen one sire group by k205 and would have to say I was a little dissappointed. Not very thick muscled and a little on the hard doing side. Granted this was one group of bulls. Did not see any females by him so take this for what it is worth.

    Capitalize on calf implants

    We currently don't implant. Have been getting a $10/cwt. on our home raised fat cattle (nhtc) as they end up in Europe. $7 corn has got me considering implanting and leaving the premium on the table.

    A moment of epiphany!!

    NR:I admire your attitude and hope this treatment goes well I am not sure I would have the courage you have faced with such a situation, I have a sister in law that bravely fights cancer since March of 2006 and greatly admire her courage also. I think I know what keeps you both going but just...

    Calf cage for my Hydrabed, not exactly routine trip--graffic

    our vet said she had never saved an umbilical hernia before until two years ago we had one that was born via c-section in the vet hospital. Her husband noticed it before it actually became external and clamped it off. She seemed to indicate that it is probably hereditary.

    has the bubble burst

    BB2: It is factually wrong to say that more energy goes into a gallon of ethanol than comes out I don't care what your personal feelings are. No we will never be able to run the whole country on ethanol I understand that but having some renewable energy is better that none. Our country should be...
