Wondering what precautions are recommended when around neighbor's sick calves. Some have died due to pneumonia. Going over there today to help work hos herd & don't want to bring home any potential 'problems' to my cows. Feedback appreciated

I have an older gelding with a history of foot problems since he foundered 4 years ago.He's been doing fine, until it got muddy. Now he is limping & has 1 foot that stinks to high heaven. I'm treating it was an antifungal/thrush type product. The temps have gotten colder so mud isn't an issue...

So sad to hear of Mary Tyler Moore's passing.She was a classy lady.Behind the scenes, had a hard life. Always wanted to drive a mustang like hers in the 'Mary Tyler Moore Show', a '70's model, I think. She was a Hollywood icon-one of the best.

Dun, Usually your advice is right on the money, like the EF Hutton commercial.But, your recommendation for a dance partner is totally unacceptable-just can't let this slide.What were you thinking? :mrgreen: ;-)

Fenceline weaning usually works well for me.I've got 3 pregnant heifers in with 7 calves. Yesterday was 3rd day, & 1 heifer is a being a bully-shoving the calves around. Usually keep heifers with calves, but not sure with the aggressive behavior. Would appreciate feedback on this, thanks.

New calf born this morning.First time mom wants to stay with herd. I lured her to calf twice with food.Calf nursed, she ate & left. My other cows have always stayed close to calves first 24 hrs. We have coyotes in area, so I'm concerned. Maybe I'm overreacting :???: I appreciate any feedback.(...

Month old bull calf got his Mom's teats cracked. Truth be told, she's probably letting others nurse too.Last year vet recommended some alcohol-based spray, but it didn't seem to help. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The cow is tame, but I'm leary since she's sore.

We have a new calf born 7:00 pm last night.This morning noticed the naval cord is approximately 9" long, moist & bright red. Calf & Mom out on pasture, doing well. Do I need to cut & dip cord in iodine, or let it be? Sorry if this is dumb question, but don't recall seeing cord that long...

First new calf of the year, born around 11 pm. It's up & sucking, but pouring down rain. Temp about 45, going down to 35. The cow had her first baby last year, & was a good mother. They have access to a loafing barn. I'm concerned about the weather conditions, & am wondering if I should try to...
