How to Spot Calving Ease - Herd Quitter Minute

[@jadinsnow2547]

Steve is extremely knowledgeable. I had the pleasure of having lunch with him a few months ago. I learned more about fertility and desirable traits in cattle in two hours with Steve than I ever did in school.

Absolutely agree. There has to be a slight slope, not too much. Another thing I’ve noticed is that the longer the distance from pins to hooks, the wider the overall hips are making a wider birth canal.

Very interesting. Subscribed and looking forward to learning more.

Mashona heifers X Dexter bull= smaller efficient calf. What ya think 🤔. Blessings, best wishes.

I have not personally had experience with Mashona. Maybe email Kit? [e-mail]

I have registered cattle but charolai. I focus on genetics. So far it's worked. I do have a few registered black Angus but it's for strictly calving ease. I like the old school Angus too which isn't too big. I think I finally have my ocd heifer bull. I preg checks my 30 heifers. Everybody is bred. Last 2 years no assisting. This bull is better and his mother history never had assist. Same with father. If yall are wondering why I like my short old school Angus. Oklahoma has a different weight that works vs Montana then add the fact I'm breeding heifers 850-1,150 pound. Pounds. The heavy weight heifers I'm not worried about having the bull cripple them. It's the possible 780 pound heifers in the ground I'm worried getting crippled from the bulls. I have commercial cows too. I brag on them. 9 years making and only 4 assist out of 20 heifers each year.

Why does Steve Campbell call the tailhead ,the infertility bone

[@PharoCattleCompany]

A high tailed seems to be popular, especially in the showring. A high tailed allows fluids to drain back inside the reproductive canal causing infections, and consequently infertility.

Saw Steve last month. He doesn't understand Frye, who didn't understand Bonsma.
