Unique Full Service A.I.in North Texas

ZNT Cattle Co. provides a truly unique service in the North Texas area. 

• Do you have just a couple of cows and can not justify a bull?  ZNT is the answer
• Do you work full time, and don't have time to heat check every day?  ZNT is the answer
• Are you a small operation that does not have facilities to work cattle? ZNT is the answer
• Need blood drawn and mailed for pregnancy confirmation?  ZNT is the answer

Our service allows owners to just drop off their cows, pairs, or heifers, and we take care of all the synchronization shots, heat checking, and artificial insemination.  This is all usually done over an 10-13 day period.  All the owner has to do is pick up the cattle when complete.  

NO semen tank, NO PROBLEM!  Customers can have semen shipped directly to our farm where semen can be held for insemination.

Groups start every other Wednesday through the entire spring.  Contact Zane Mai to schedule your cattle.  817-233-9357 call or text

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.

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.

Pre-Breeding Checklist

I know many of you are just starting the fall calving season, but as the calves hit the ground, it is never to early to start planning to re-breed those cows and heifers.  Here is a list of things that can make your fall breeding go the best it can.

For me, it can be broken down into two basic categories:  Nutrition and Health

Nutrition:  Once a cow has calved, her nutritional needs change drastically from when she was pregnant.  Your cow is now eating to provide nutrition for her recovery, along with providing all the nutritional requirements her newborn calf requires.  In most cases, these increased needs can be met by using a protein source in conjunction with the nutrients provided by grazing.  Other cases may require the use of supplemental energy and protein to meet these needs.  Proper vitamin and mineral needs can be achieved through basic supplemental feed such as range cubes, the use of injectable nutrients such as MultiMin 90, or by well-balanced mineral supplements like Concept-Aid.  The key to good conception rates is achieved by having the cattle gaining weight going into breeding season, along with allowing the cows 60-90 days post-partum to be physically and hormonally ready to breed.

Health:  The other half of the equation is making sure your cows are vaccinated annually for many of the diseases that can cause low conception rates in cows, and lower mortality in their calves.  My recommendations are to give a dose of Vira-Shield, 7-way, Stay-bred, and wormer (injectable or pour-on)  Vaccinations should be done at least 2 weeks prior to cows being set up for A.I., or being turned out with bulls.  In the South, wormer for parasites should be applied 2-3 times per year.

On top of the preparation of your cows and heifers for calving, this is the time to start evaluating your herd concerning operational goal, genetic outcomes from your current calf crop, and genetic goals for your future.  By planning ahead, you can save yourself money, and sometimes a lot of headaches trying to get semen on the perfect bull for your cow.

Best of luck with your calving season, and don't forget to contact ZNT when making plans to breed those heifers or cows you just got done calving out.
