Went to beef cattle workshop put on by extension service. Had a chuteside demonstration of proper way to work calves done by vet. For subq injections vet recommended using a 5/8" long needle, inserting it straight into side of neck without tenting. Said that was his favorite way to do subq. On...

Have 2013 Ram 3/4 ton shortbed with B&W gooseneck hitch. Question is with a conventional 20" wide crossover toolbox, will there be enough room between trailer hitch and the toolbox to pull gooseneck stock trailer without crunching the toolbox when crossing a ditch? Best I can measure, is about...

Have a question for folks that routinely buy bred cows at local auctions. Trying to figure out sale value differences due to age assuming all other factors are equal. If you can buy old broke mouth but nice looking heavy bred cow for $1000, how much more will buyers pay for an identical, but...

Bottle of blackleg vaccine was left out of fridge overnight. Was with a cold pack and still felt slightly cool to the touch when found. Is it ruined or still viable??

Last week after 2 days of freezing rain/sleet/snow found a 3 week old calf down and unable to properly move legs and walk. Took to vet and temp was normal and calf not lethargic. All vet could recommend was some Banamine. Calf manages to move around a little while on ground and sometimes tries a...

Anyone have first hand experience with the New Tec calf carrier sold by Valley Vet. Like the idea of not having to dead lift the calf like the other carriers require. My old back ain't what it used to be. The only review on the VV site is very negative about the sling it uses but watching the...

Applied pour on fly control to 18 pairs in the middle of a pasture on leased place with not so good corral situation. Poured out about 3/4 bag of cubes in 5 piles to attract cows. Then used hose fed syringe without needle to squirt pour on Ultra Saber onto cows and calves. Was quick and easy to...

Early last week bought some Ultra Saber pour on to treat pairs for flies. Label say active ingredient is 1% lambda-cyhalthrin. 1 gallon cost $179 and will treat 250 cows. Worked really well on the flies so far. A few days later needed to spray pastures for grasshoppers as they are about to...

Have a great primary care doctor who will take the time to talk to you and is very caring during appointments. However, all incoming calls to his office go straight to voice mail and have to wait for call back, sometimes hours. Of all the doctors I have dealt with this is the only one that...

Recently a person I had just met asked me what business I was in. I replied that I was in the cattle business, a rancher. Wasn't completely accurate but that is what folks expect to hear and can at least somewhat relate to. A few years ago it finally dawned on me that I'm really in the business...

Have cow that calved on the 11th. Teats were a little big and on 12th had not seen calf nurse so brought them up, put cow in chute and tried to milk her. One teat was totally plugged and other 3 were so plugged it was almost impossible to get milk from them. Only microscopic squirts so I started...

Trying to decide whether to buy some cattle rubs or dust bags for fly control. Have been using fly tags but not real pleased with control as our fly season is so long. What are your thoughts on rubs vs dust bags. Kind of leaning toward dust bags as more simple to refill. No mixing of...

Cow calved yesterday, has larger udder and teats. Tried to milk her down so calf could nurse. 1 teat was totally plugged, couldn't get any milk out at all, other 3 teats could milk a microscopic stream but very difficult. Toughest milking cow I've ever encountered. Don't think calf could ever...

About 2 months ago bought some old thin feeder cows to fatten up for slaughter. Cows were not palpated. This morning as saw one cow get up and she had a string of clear mucous hanging from her rearend. When the string fell off, she turned around and licked it up off the ground. My question is...
