This elite set of females didn’t come together overnight or just on sale day. It’s the result of years of planning, thoughtful matings, strategic donor selection, and the power of embryo transfer to multiply the impact of proven genetics. From embryo creation and transfer to calving, careful selection, and countless hours of sale preparation, every step has played an important role. Embryo transfer has helped make it possible to advance exceptional genetics.

Take a look at this elite set of females selling TODAY! 👏

If you own beef cattle, a safe alley and properly functioning working chute should be considered a requirement—not an option.

A safe handling system protects you, your family, your employees, your cattle, and your veterinarian.

Too often, veterinarians are asked to work cattle loose in a pasture, backed into a corner, held by a halter, or restrained by a few people. That may seem manageable—until something goes wrong. And when something goes wrong with a 1,200-pound animal, it happens quickly.

Pregnancy checking, breeding soundness exams, vaccinations, dehorning, treating injuries, and routine herd health are all safer and more efficient when cattle can be properly restrained.

A good handling system doesn’t have to be the most expensive chute on the market. It simply needs to safely restrain the animal and provide a safe place for the people working around it.

Safe handling isn’t just about protecting people. Proper facilities also help reduce unnecessary stress and injury to cattle and allow your veterinarian to provide better care.

A good handling system doesn’t have to be the most expensive chute on the market. It just needs to work safely.

At the end of the day, your veterinarian wants to do the job safely—not just so they can get through your appointment, but so they can safely get to the next client’s farm and, most importantly, make it home to their own family.

If you own beef cattle, providing safe working facilities should be part of the responsibility that comes with owning them.

Dr. Boyd is planning his summer/fall dehorning schedule! 🐮

Have a horned calf you're getting ready for sale season or the show ring? Now is the time to get on the schedule!

With the newest addition to the family, he's looking to spend fewer days on the road. Haul-ins to the clinic are the preferred option and offer the most scheduling flexibility. If bringing your calf to the clinic isn't possible, Dr. Boyd will be grouping travel appointments by area to make the most efficient use of his time on the road.

Reach out today to reserve your spot. Whether you're hauling in or hoping to join a local dehorning stop, the sooner you contact us, the easier it is to coordinate this summer's schedule. 📞📩

Big thanks to Sarver Farms for hosting a Breeding Soundness haul-in day—where bulls prove they’re more than just good looking. These producers know the value of making sure every bull is ready to punch the clock. A great day of cattlemen coming together to get the job done.

Post-calving represents the greatest nutritional demand for a beef cow.

During this period she must lactate, repair her reproductive tract, resume heat cycles, breed and, if she is a young cow, she must continue to grow and develop. She requires a high energy and protein diet of at least 62% total digestible nutrients and 11% crude protein. If her requirements are not met, she will lose body condition and may not rebreed.

🐂 Spring Bull Turnout Is Coming — Is Your Bull Ready?

A Breeding Soundness Exam (BSE) is one of the most valuable tools you can use to protect your calf crop and avoid costly surprises when bulls hit the pasture.

At Boyd Veterinary Services, we offer complete bovine breeding soundness exams to evaluate whether your bull is capable of getting cows bred efficiently.

🔎 What We Evaluate During a BSE:
• Semen quality and motility
• S***m morphology (structure)
• Scrotal circumference
• Physical soundness and mobility
• Reproductive anatomy

👍 Why a Breeding Soundness Exam Is Important:
• Identifies infertile or subfertile bulls before turnout
• Helps maximize pregnancy rates in your herd
• Prevents lost time during a short breeding window
• Protects your investment in herd genetics
• Gives you confidence heading into bull turnout

💡 The Bottom Line:
Testing bulls 30–60 days before turnout allows time to replace any bulls that do not pass and keeps your breeding program on track.

📍 Boyd Veterinary Services offers on-farm exams when safe working facilities are available, and haul-in options are also available.

📞 Call Boyd Veterinary Services today to schedule your bull breeding soundness exams and make sure your bulls are ready to go to work.

🚨 Attention Beef Producers 🚨

If your cattle look a little off after these weather swings, you’re not imagining it.

This back-and-forth spring weather—warm days followed by cold nights with wind, rain, and mud—creates the perfect conditions for various diseas and scours in beef cattle.

Rapid weather changes stress the immune system, increase energy demands, and allow respiratory pathogens to move through a herd much easier.

🚨Keep a close eye on your cattle for:
• Coughing
• Nasal discharge
• Fever
• Fast or labored breathing
• Droopy ears or lethargy
• Calves lagging behind the herd

⚠️ High-risk groups:
Calves, thin cows, and recently transported or commingled cattle.

✅ What you can do right now:
• Provide wind protection and dry areas
• Make sure cattle are maintaining good nutrition
• Watch calves closely after cold rain or major temperature drops
• Catch and treat sick cattle early

Spring weather can change fast—and so can respiratory disease outbreaks.

👀 Now is the time to be checking cattle daily.

📞 If you see problems in your herd, call Boyd Veterinary Services. Early intervention can save calves and prevent bigger herd health issues.
