I can travel, Modesto would be the closet to me. I will contact Dr. Williamson, he may have a closer lead.

Hi

I thought since I have been talking about my heifers, and getting great help, I would share a photo of them.

(Moderate meaning that all of the does got bred, and the billy sold for slightly less than purchased).
Around here with some planning ahead you could pick up a good bull at the sale barn, use him and send him back when your done. A good buyer would be your best bet to do this.

Allen W, admittedly I am paranoid, but I'd be concerned about diseases with this plan.

I knew that was coming. There is disease every where, you just have to decide if the risk is worth it.
