RESEARCH IS ESSENTIAL TO A SUCCESSFUL E.T. PROGRAM
Embryo Transfer can be an excellent tool for production of
superior genetics. However, given the complexity and expense
it should not be entered into without extensive thought and
research, especially in selection of donor animals.

SOIL, FORAGE TESTING IS IMPORTANT IN FORAGE PRODUCTION
Most cattle producers view their primary function as that of
producing animals – more specifically, beef. However, in
most cases the actual role the cattle producer plays is not
just that of producing beef. More accurately is a role of
turning grass into beef.

Most everyone who develops a strategy for managing cattle

Broadcaster.com is a YouTube look alike with dumb people
doing dumb things. This clip has a kid doing a back flip
off a second floor roof into a pool. Interesting in a way.

Q U O T E O F T H E M O N T H
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence
every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers
who file by the White House in a show of strength and
muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees,
the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from
happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is
patriotism.
– Erma Bombeck
