yeah that's an option but I don't want too be waiting on withdrawal times. And if Aspirin has no withdrawal time then thats a better fit for my situation.

Hey folks this is a 2 part question. So got a 8 month old calf that's become lame. So I have been told I can use Aspirin for pain relief. From what I have read there's no withdrawal time on it, is it true?? Secondly what is the dosage of normal household Aspirin? Before anyone asks yes I've...

Ken I know I can't answer your question. My barn is full of mixed breed beef, dairy beef cross and dairy bulls. I'm struggleing to understand it all too. And cost now is playing a role on my decision on how to feed them. For example calf starter feed here just went up $3 in 2 weeks on a 25kg...

Hey folks. just updating ya on the calves. It appears this group of 4 is improving a bit. I'm noticing they are filling out along the hip and back area a bit. Plus they aren't so fuzzy looking anymore. Also their coats are getting shiny too. Now around the same time I made this post I was in...

Ok. Well the one with the more fatty udder is jersey hereford cross would that make a difference in the extra fat there?? the other isn't as fatty and its my hereford heifer.

Update on my girls. All are good, they must be just fat lol. Got the stuff from my vet and nothing has came from them in over 3 weeks. (y)

Perfect guys !! Thanks for your help. I'll run to the feed store and grab some calf starter for them. I really didn't realize how much extra these guys needed to grow. I've raised dairy bulls before on the way I stated up top and had good success but as someone stated before is I had those...

Yeah your right their only 200lbs maybe. They are holestien bull calves Getting dry hay and wet brewers grains. And yes they are all belly. I find it nuts they got big old bellies right now after being fed. But tomorrow morning they will look like poverty with a load of **** behind them lol.

That's the dewormer I used lol. Plus I used boss on them for lice. I gave them a medicated milk replacer that was milk proteins for 2.5 months. This usually is good enough most of the time. And brewers grains average about 18-20% protein.

Hey folks. Wondering if anyone raises any dairy calves. I bought a group of 4 bull calves back in August. These guys were all about 5 days old. According to the farm they got colostrum. When they got here I gave them a shot of selenium and got some nuflor off the vet to be prepared for any...

yeah I understand. I seen our young bull after her this fall but she wouldn't stand for him. So I didn't think he got her. I separated him after that. I always rub my heifers to get them uset to being touched and I've started to notice she got a bit of a fatty pouch there. I don't know if its...

Hey Folks. So I'm starting to think one of my heifers is bred. This is an unwanted bred. I haven't called my vet yet but is there anyway if she is bred to abort this??

Vet arrived. And it's blood sucking lice!!! In the past 8 years first time with lice on my farm!!! All treated and should be all good

Hey folks. So I got a 3 month old holestien bull calf that I'm raising for beef. Yesterday morning when. I went to the barn he had trouble to stand and it appeared like he was stiff. Didn't notice but he could have been stepped on by the bigger bull next to him. Anyways seems like when he gets...

Not all cows. This is cows calves and yearlings

Ok fair enough. Like my cattle are in great shape and all but I'm just starting to wonder if I could cut back a lil. The situation I'm in a dollar saved in one place goes to purchase something else. If I was feeding too much and could cut back a bit that's money I could put into more land...

That's what I was thinking too. I can ho out and buy manufactured pellet feeds but that has skyrocketed to $25 /25kg sack here. The cows wouldn't take long to go through a sack of that lol. We have been wondering if there could be a cheaper way to add mineral to the brewers grain to help them...

Yes it's the 800 - 1000 lbs round bale. Byt it's not great hay wild grasses and Timothy. I'm in Newfoundland canada but I'm always watching what hay costs are in other areas and nova scotia hay costs seem to be around 40-60 a round bale.

I feel like that too. I'm wondering if I'm feeding too much. My little 14 head herd eats a 800-1000lbs round bald in about 5-6 days plus the brewers grain.

Hey guys. So these days I find myself asking the question on how much do I need to be feeding my cattle. I have a herd of cows and calves. All different breeds as well but mostly everyone is beef dairy cross or all beef cross. So I have a contract with a local craft brewery and I get all their...
