    Puzzled

    I ride the pasture this evening to look at some calves and see how the others were looking. Everyone seems to be ok and some due anytime now in April. As I left my east pasture and ride over to the west side I saw a flock of buzzards in the woods. I got off my mule and walked in to where they...

    Calves

    Just got in with 2 female calves that are Sox 8-1/3 - 9 months old. I bought from an individual that raises cattle. They are angus Brama cross on one and full angus on the other.

    Covexin 8:Calvary 9

    If I used covexin 8 last year and years before. Can I switch to Calvary 9 now and only give the one dose or do I need to give once and booster in 3-4 weeks? Just a thought as I haven’t found any to get yet that in stock. I won’t need it until October but I would like to have it on hand so when...

    Multimin 90

    Got my multimin today. Few questions, I know you can give too much and that's not good, but how often do you give them? Also do you still keep blocks and free choice minerals out?

    Different mineral

    This is a different mineral than the last I bought. It may be an overkill for my cows as they are on hay and not winter graze. It is a local mineral from a mill about 40 miles from me. I put out a large coffee can fill this evening and they were lining up for it. I may just put it out every...

    Free Martin??

    I have a heifer calf that was from a cow I bought that was bred. Her mama was an angus-char. She was born all white with black nose on 6/16/21 and weaned at 6 months and moved to a pasture away from the bull. On 12/1/22 she was moved to bull pasture. She has been with the bull for a year and 2...

    Minerals

    Still haven't found a VitaFirm dealer close by but my local feed store Carries a High Mag mineral. My county agent said it was a good mineral but I'm listening. Look at the content label. It's high in calcium and magnesium and salt isn't as high as the old one I had. Let me know your thoughts.

    Mineral I could find

    I have several emails out to different sources and to the vita firm firm makers to find me a dealer near me. Meanwhile I’m waiting on my vet (on vacation ) to call me when he gets back. I found some by Nutrina for cattle at Tractor Supply. I’ve enclosed some label info attached. I figure some...

    Mineral tubs

    I started my cows back in September on the 24% mineral tubs (200lb) . Last week my tractor supply didn’t have the 24% so I got the 16% instead. Will these work for giving the mineral? I feed hay and about 2 times a week I give cotton seed and oats mixed in. I don’t really know if I need the 16%...
