Remember this dumb lil jersey steer? It's been a year.... He's getting some shape, but still ain't worth a lot! I had to take a pic. I guess he's come along a bit. Don't belong to me and ain't my pasture!! I know it looks like crap!

We had one bloat up like crazy on that crap. Liked to never figured it out!! I've used it. Will I use it again? NEVER Even if it's free. They can keep it

That just picture of putting a square cut rubber band on the horn base. I've never done it, but I've heard people have some kind of success with it. Takes a while for the horn to fall off. But it's supposed to work as long as the band stay put... @gcreekrch how long did it take for them to...

@Travlr Need a face shield, apron and gloves. And prepare to get covered in it. 🤣 I watched my vet do that too. He got the one side alright. By the time he got to the other side to get that bleeder he had enough and let that side go.... Even with nose tongs and a helper, those calves still...

Ideally it's best to do over the fall/winter when flies are not a problem. It's funny, I bought these fancy cutters, and while I was working these calves I noticed TWO sets of tree pruners hanging above the work bench. They looked like they had seen plenty of use. Ive seen what pruners do to...

I really want to get a hot iron for after. I remember the last ones I had the vet do for me couple years ago. Seemed to not bleed near as much. This bull calfs horn base was very large. Could not get as close to the head as I'd a liked. It'll still be better tho. Especially come this fall when I...

Neighbor had one as well. I kept telling them get him to the butcher before he does it again. It was too late. Even if ya just make burger outta him it beats the heck out of a total loss. I personally wouldn't sell him like that. He will taste good on the grill. My kids (grown) always need...

You should have enough evidence right now to get the sheriff involved. That bull HAS GOT TO GO!!! Or...... as was suggested on another thread. Buy the bull. Right after ya hand the man the cash, put a bullet in the bull. While the s.o.b is watching Honestly. At this point. It's cheaper to buy...

Super Sperm!

@SDgrampa don't say much, but when he does........ 🤣

Dangit! I hate that for u. They do get into your heart. Like a dog or for some folks, a horse. It stinks but we just can't save em all.

Sure makes ya wonder what's going on. I hope it gets better for you!

And that is why they split a lot of pairs here!

Yep. Two seperate issues for sure. He was just getting up on the front tip toes too. Poor lil guy.

I've seen it a couple times now. Terrible way to go too. I almost put him down last night but he was alert and bright eyed. Thought it would be worth a trip to the vet. Hard to say exactly what happened. But that was definitely the issue of some sort. Glad it wasn't a purchased calf. Coarse...

Yep. That umbilical had me worried from the beginning. The entire area was super swollen this morning. And he went downhill pretty fast. Nothing the vet could do for him.

Terrible update. Didn't make it thru the vet. No infection or hernia. But think he may have been stepped on around his navel area. I guess coyotes gotta eat too.. 😔

This one has a problem. His lack of umbilical has had me concerned from day one. It's either herniated or infected. He winces pretty hard when feeling of it. And it's rather large and bulbous. Does not feel hot. My buddy didn't want to put any money into the vet bill so he's no longer his...

We have not. Debating on it. Don't wanna stress him any more than need be right now. IF he becomes my calf, he will be a steer in short order

I agree. I don't mind helping a brother out. We always work out a fair deal if it comes to it. Last one I got from him (twin) was 50 bucks. 😆
