July A.I. Special to Address Heat Stress

ZNT is announcing a July A.I. special where you can get your cattle A.I.'d for just $20/head, and only have to pay $4.75/day for feed/yardage.  This is a 50% savings on the A.I. work, and a $.75/day savings on the feed/yardage. A cow A.I.'d by July 20th will still produce calves by the 1st of May.

Are you counting on that old bull under the tree taking care of business during these dog days of summer? 



In 1978, Oklahoma scientists (Meyerhoeffer, et al.) placed bulls in controlled environments of 95 degrees F. for 8 hours and 87 degrees for the remaining 16 hours while similar bulls were placed in environments of 73 degrees constantly. These treatments were applied to the bulls for 8 weeks and then all bulls were allowed to be in the 73 degree environment for another 8 weeks. 

During the treatment, the heat stressed bulls had average rectal temperatures of 0.9 degrees F higher than non-stressed bulls.  The percentage of motile sperm cells decreased significantly in the stressed bulls by 2 weeks of heat stress. Sperm motility did NOT return to normal values until 8 weeks after the end of the heat stress

This explains some of the reduction in fertility that is often associated with summer and early fall breedings. One cannot escape the conclusion that high ambient temperatures can result in detrimental effects on fertility by effects on both the cow and the bull.  Also remember that heat stress can also have a negative impact on female reproductive performance.  As you multiply the two reductions in reproductive soundness (male X female), it is apparent that heat stress can cause smaller and/or later calf crops.

2018 New Year's Feature

No better way to kick off the New Year than to add this powerhouse to your bull battery.  He is a 3/8 Maine/9.78% Chi bull who's sire is out of Northern Improvement, and his dam is straight out of the ZNT donor program.  He is a thick made, wide based bull that goes back to great maternal genetics on both sides.  Did I forget to mention he only had a 63# birth weight on top of it?!?  He is the total package for the spring breeding season.



Bulls Available

BULLS AVAILABLE

The "For Sale Page" has been updated with our currently yearling bulls available for this Winter breeding season. All bulls are percentage Maine Anjou genetics out of cows from our donor program, with moderate birthweights, along with a balanced amount of muscle and maternal genetics.  Year after year, our customers have been very pleased with their bull purchases, and amazed by the quality of their daughters as they perform in their herds.  Letting go of any of the heifers has been the hardest decisions.
