Eden Shale Farm Update - July 2022

7/26/2022

 
For the 2022 spring calving season at Eden Shale we had 92% of our calf crop born in 45 days. That does not happen by accident. It takes planning, preparation, and a whole lot of effort in getting the cows bred (preferably on the first heat cycle). Below is a list of cattle work we have completed in managing our spring calving cow herd at the farm.
​
  • April 25th: Worked 40 head yearling steers (vaccinate, deworm, implant).
  • April 25th: Worked 30 head yearling replacement heifers (deworm, pelvic measure, tract score).
  • April 25th: Worked 5 bulls (vaccinate, deworm, breeding soundness exam).
  • May 3rd: Worked 30 head yearling replacement heifers (pre-breeding vaccinations, sorted, moved to paddocks to begin USDA grazing trial).
  • May 6th: Worked 60 head cows (pre-breeding vaccinations, dewormed)
  • May 10th: Worked 40 head cows (pre-breeding vaccinations, dewormed)
  • May 12th: Worked 36 head replacement heifers (Eden Shale culled 6 head and USDA added 12 head. CIDR in to begin AI synchronization).
  • May 17th: Worked 36 head replacement heifers (CIDR out to continue AI synchronization).
  • May 17th: Worked 90 head cows (CIDR in to begin AI synchronization).
  • May 19th: Worked 36 head replacement heifers: (Heat detect and bred 10 heifers that came in heat early).

    Welcome

    Hello, my name is Dan Miller and I work for the Kentucky Beef Network. KBN took over operation of the Eden Shale Farm in April of 2013. We are using the 961 acre farm as a demonstration and learning center for beef cattle producers. This blog serves as a place to document daily farm activity and host discussions about the demonstrations being implemented. I hope you find this information useful and that you come visit us at Eden Shale Farm.
