Every
cow has some type of escutcheon mirror. The escutcheon may be the
representation of:
- how
rapidly the cow can come into milk
- how
much milk she’ll give
- how
lengthy she’ll give high amounts of milk.
This
is accurate both in beef and dairy cows. Your hair within the escutcheon is
traveling upward. The broader the handle part that extends from udder to
vulva and anus the faster she’ll enter into full milk production and
the more she’ll give that production. This really is visible around the baby
calf.
Butter-fat
production is revealed by the quantity of hair around the udder. The cows
having a bald to semi bald udder would be the greatest butterfat producers.
This cow includes a good escutcheon, she offers quite a bit
of lengthy smooth hair around the udder. A cow with lengthy
smooth hair has milk fat depression and it is living under
poor management.
A really small escutcheon, milk production
is low. Her peak is half
of ordinary production.
Her calf are affected from starvation
at the begining of several weeks due to low milk production.
This cow includes a really small escutcheon. she’ll be
lower in milk production. wont enter into full milk
production until around two months. The absence
from the escutcheon extending to the vulva
signifies the cow will fail substantially after
the start of pregnancy.
This cow includes a small udder and also the escutcheon
stops just above the top of the udder. She’ll
not produce milk by the bucket load. Her calf
are affected from insufficient (milk) diet.
for butter fat and tender, fine-textured meat
This can be a beautiful bald udder. This is exactly what we’re
searching for for butterfat production. Her tail is of the
high yellow with large dry skin scales. The wax in
the ear is really a high yellow. The
lack of hair around the
udder may be the # 1 indicator of high milk fat. The greater
hair around the udder the low the butterfat. This really is
also an indication of tenderness or fine textured meat.
I refer to this as tail butter.
Any animal rich in yellow and
flakes around the last 6 inches of tail underneath the lengthy switch
locks are a pet that creates a higher milk fat
content. This animal can also get 4+% intra-muscular
fat. This is an indication of tenderness or fine
textured meat.
A pet with yellow wax within the ear is really a high milk-fat
producer in addition to a tender meat indicator. You
always find this using the yellow and flakes around the tail.
The escutcheon stops just over the
surface of udder. She
is really a high producer and will also be producing maximum
quantity of milk in thirty days. After pregnancy a clear, crisp
loss of production begins.. Who owns this cow
waits 150 days to re-breed for that reason sharp decline.
for Glandular Function
Note the dark hair around the lower neck. this
represents the thymus gland activity.
The thymus gland represents good immune
function. Note the deep sheen/shine from the hair coat. this represents a
very active immune response. These types of cows don’t get sick nor do
their calves. Basically consider a cow/bull to buy this is actually the very
first factor I search for. Basically cant visit a large thymus whorl I’m not
thinking about acquiring the animal. The thymus gland provides the white-colored
bloodstream cells their marching orders. When the hair coat and also the thymus
gland aren’t visible then your animal is prone to the stresses
and illnesses that plague our industry.
Within the dairies that feed lots of starchy
supplements your hair is brief and perhaps just a little sheen, nevertheless the
thymus along with other glands aren’t very frequently visible. The sebaceous fluid isn’t healthy within the grain-given cows.
A cow having a shinny streak the entire period of the top
back is definitely an indicator the gland product is fully active.
Conformation
After 3 decades of observation with twenty five years
of semen collection and evaluations I have started to the final outcome that
over 90% of open cows is caused by the reduced fertility status from the
bulls utilized on the cow herds today. There’s a couple of bulls that don’t
leave open cows within the herd and achieve this the size of
their existence.
James Drayson collected information while
operating his bull collecting facility for 3 decades and prior to the finish
of his existence compiled his research and findings inside a book titled Herd
Bull Fertility. Drayson discovered that the dimensions, shape (conformation)
beginning as soon as 7-8 several weeks old has more effect on bulls ability
to impregnate cows that every other impacts. Nearly every producer culls
open cows, very little producer culls a bull due to open cows no does
any breeder I understand (lacking two breeders) focus on herd bull fertility.
With no herd of cows that be capable of produce fertile herd
sires and taking advantage of a bull using the greatest quantity of motel sperm
cells (1 billion 500 million at 14 several weeks) reproduction continues
to remain in the national degree of 70%.
I’ll make an effort to express the issues and
some solutions using the following images of testicles and
conformations within the following examples
Sketch
of the perfectly formed scrotal
This can be a perfect group of testicles in conformation and
structure and testosterone production. A mans testicles will assimilate
the near perfect genes from the mail. These testicles provide
2-3 billion sperm cells per mil of semen. This bull is extremely
masculine (large crest, wide shoulders and maintains themself when
spending so much time). This bull will easily impregnate 80% from the cows he
services within the first a 3 week period from the breeding season.
Perrfectly
formed testicles
These testicles don’t have any neck and also the testicles are lengthy and
cylinder formed. The form should really represent a football with
a little more taper at top than bottom. This bull and then any bull which has
testicles formed diverse from the right is only going to choose a
regular bases roughly 50-60% from the cows he services within the first
a 3 week period from the breeding season and can leave a couple of of the greatest cows
open the fertile bull would settle.
Spot the nipples around the neck
from the nut sack. Is a result of this sort of nipple setting will
make the kids to possess tilted udders. Tilted udders don’t
produce the level of milk a properly created flat udder will.
Note the epididymis around the left
side is around the outdoors bottom. The testicle is switched half around in
the scrotal sack. Note the division (the V shape ) between your inside
bottom as well as the crease or dividing line between your testicles
in the bottom to the top.This V and division may cause the
kids udders to become segmented, funnel formed, lower
production and also the division between the rear of a mans testicles leads to a
week restraining ligament or even the udder will sag and brake lower.
Note the deep division between your
testicles within the back. the left testicle overlaps the best below,
his kids may have sloppy udders. These
misshapen testicle or other kind of misshapen
or deformity will invariably have low sperm production, low
testosterone production therefore fertility suffers.

Back to the Basics 101: I'm a big fan of your work. Thank you for the video.
seller559: Thank you.
Back to the Basics 101: I've got your book, bull fertility, i'm a big fan.\n I'm a winter grazer in North Dakota. I try to make many videos on the subject. Keep up the good work.
Abraham deAlba-Avila: It´s too bad the sound is not optimum, but I am glad at last there is something on Fry.
