It still feels so weird to be excited about using frozen IVF embryos…

In an industry built on “we’ve always done it this way”, change is hard. I’m so blessed to be working with leaders of the industry who want to try something new!

We still love our conventional collections- we averaged 8.4 freezable embryos per donor on our week of conventional collections for the month.

Tis the season!

I guess I missed out on the Black Friday squashmallow opportunity. Maybe I’ll just give Ellie the cabbage patch doll that was recalled but I know my mom fought for so became more of a trophy than a toy.

This is Julie. It’s Black Friday and because there is no one on her list who needs a ping pong table, flat screen tv, or squishmallow, she isn’t leaving the house. She is, however going to call her mama. Her mom, circa 1985, buttoned her mom jeans, fluffed her perm, adjusted her giant glasses, and became a legend. She was one of the original gangster Black Friday moms who hit The K Mart at 2 a.m. with other mom legends in the making. They were in search of the elusive Cabbage Patch dolls. Those yarn-haired, butt-signed, slightly creepy little darlings who came with bizarre names, many of which are still accessible in the memory vaults of 40-something women to this day. As girls, those women woke on Christmas morning to those boxed babes, signed the adoption paperwork with all the seriousness they could muster, and passed on the Pogo Balls and Barbie Dreamhouses to care for their little cabbage themed darlings. Those moms may no longer carry the bruises of other moms’ elbows as they strode from the fray triumphantly, but they are still heroes in their own right. They are the original Black Friday baddies, back when Black Friday really only lasted a few hours and the World Wide Web was but a dream. We remember, little warriors. Long live the OGs. 📸 The Cowboy via Jill Rothenberg

The American Simmental Association (ASA) is partnered with Kansas State University (KSU) on an exciting research project on male fertility. Researchers at KSU, led by Dr. Megan Rolf, are exploring the possibility of using producer-collected breeding soundness exam (BSE) records to characterize male fertility in a genetic evaluation. We are asking ASA members who have historical BSE on registered Simmental or SimGenetics bulls to consider contributing data for this project. Most of the data we are requesting is collected during a routine BSE done by your veterinarian. Data submitted for this project will be kept confidential. Members and individual animals will remain anonymous in any of the project outcomes (papers, presentations, etc.). We hope that you will consider participating in this exciting project that could help evaluate male fertility, an important yet relatively uncharacterized trait in the beef industry. If you are interested in providing data for this project or have any questions, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Dressler, ASA Geneticist, at [email protected].

My favorite and least favorite seasons are both here! First and foremost, it’s breeding season! And, ugh, sweatshirts-aren’t-enough-layers season…

I can’t say enough good things about how the Miller family has developed these bulls. This is a goal oriented program that is driven by data and performance. The cattle are expected to excel in their environment and they do!

We are excited about these SimAngus bulls! Here is the big boy leading the charge. Check out his numbers!! 👀
Join us on DV Auction Oct. 16-17. Here is the link to the full offering:

Another set of calves ready for viewing!

The Lot 2 In God We Trust steer is the pretty boy of the 5 full brothers with the power and mass to back it up. Looking back at same age pictures of his brothers we've sold in the past, I think you'll have a lot of fun showing this guy. You'll have hair to work with and he'll eat well for you. Check him out on video then swing by to see him in person. https://youtu.be/sxULjJjNSuA?si=xK1vIFeT0Gih08Zd
