More embryo's for sale
1 package- Shiver x #81 donor. These will be full sibs to the AI sire Simple Man
1 package- I80 x #81. We just put 6 of these in, we feel this could be the best mating yet to #81
1 package- I80 x #8. We feel the mating of #8 to I80 could be out of this world good. She has got all the power you could ever want, combine this with the undeniable cool look of I80 and watch out.
1 package- Heatseeker x #8. These are full sibs to 2 yearling heifers that we kept and will hit the donor pen next year. The # 8 cow has been tested double clean, so the females will be perfect to mate to Monopoly.
1 package- Friction x Miss Chill. These will be full sibs to the many time champion Maine steer shown by the Harsh family and sold by Caldwell and Billman.
1 package- HW(original) x Miss Chill. Only 4 full sibs ever born, 3 sold for an average of $4250 and one is our new herd bull named "Gray Train". Owned with Gunn Farms
1 package- HW(original) x Miss Hostage. These embryos have produced some of our best steer prospects that turn into incredible fat steers. Full sib matings have sold to Simmermon, Caldwell, Guyer and numerous families.
There will possibly be more embryo's for sale next week depending on what receipts work best for specific matings at our place this weekend. These will more than likely be single embryo packages bundled together to make a package of 3 due to number of eggs for each mating available. More info will come next week.
Notice: There have been many requests for either embryo's out of our #75 and #347 donors. At this time, there are not enough embryos out of each on storage and therefore none will be offered for sale until fall. Also, we have had much interest in Monopoly embryo's by our # 81 donor as well as flush opportunities There are no Monopoly embryos available by this donor at this time and she is currently bred to Hard Drive for a Spring 2013 calf. She will be left open after that for flushing and flush requests will be filled in the order requested .
Any interest on any of the embryo packages listed above, please call or text Dave at 317-408-1085

A neat picture of a small portion of the windmill farm located in Remington, In right off of I-65. Not sure how many there are, but it is a bunch.
Thanks

This stuff is awesome
We recently tried out a product from Lynxchemicals.com called Trans Clean 2500 on our aluminum trailer. This is by far the best acid type product you can buy to clean yiur trailer and not leave a white film on it or dull the shine. Can be used on painted surfaces and will make stainless so shiny you can fix your hair and use it as a mirror.As you can see, it makes it look brand new again. The only thing is it will"pit" glass, so take plexiglass out and unhook from truck before washing.

She's back!
The matriarch of our donor program has returned home. VCC# 81 has spent the last year at both Donor Solutions and In The Purple, LLC getting flushed. Thanks to both Brian and Chuck Hannon as well as Michael Hardy and Kevin Newman for taking care of the cornerstone of our ET program and providing us with the most success possible. We highly recommend both of these programs. Check out www.donorsolutions.com and www.facebook.com/In The Purple, LLC.

Terrible picture of what we feel could be the next best donor here. This is a July Total Solution x the mother of the popular Shorthorn AI sires Get Serious and Fringe. Raised by Ron Martin of Phildon Farms. We are excited to see the potential of this double clean female. I will try to get a better picture, this one is way cool.

Ahh...feels nice!
It hit 80 degrees here today, once I turned the fans on in the creep pen of the calving barn, it did not take long for some of the babies to come get cooled off.
Good luck at State Fair
Good luck to Hunter Weber and family with your Vansickle bred steer. Thanks to Zach Gray for placing this steer in such a great home.
Good Luck at State Fair
Well the spring jackpot shows are over, time to get 'em in the cooler and get ready for state fair. Good luck to Bailey Rist and her 11 time champion, 10 time top 5 steer Simba. This picture was taken 2 weeks ago following his last win of the season.
Go Dominos!

Bad deal
This is what was left of the corral on one of the pastures after semen checking bulls. Apparently one of them thought they had more air than Jordan.
