I've catrated a lot of cattle more than I care to remeber and on occaision i have had cords break on me when I'm pulling them out sometimes only getting a inch or two of cord with the testical and I haven't found that the remaining cord has caused any trama to the calf or ill effects in the...

I've never had any problem with cattle becoming real spooky but over the past few weeks almost every morning I've found calves that have stampeded during the night in one case they had demolished a four board fence that was backed with panels these cattle are very use to humans being around and...

I think you may be on to something I have no problem with the calf going to slaughter for dog food or what ever the case may be. But I have a problem with me killing the calf after all the mornings I thought I'd find him dead and he hobbled to the feed bunk. I think I'll ask around at the...

I purchased a 400# calf in September he was kinda wild and his first night in the barn he tryed to jump the gate and hung his right front leg between the gate and the gate post and must have hung there alnight first thing the next morning I found him with no life in him at all I cut the gate...

The longest debate of all time to cut or not to cut that is the question ? I buy primaraly bull calves from the market around 100 or so a month I castrate (cut) all of them I have lost 1 calf that I can say was due to castration and that calf bleed to death the night after I cut him I've never...

I've done it both ways and have found that it really is no different so most of the time now I go with the 6cc under the skin. As far as the single dose of 3cc's per 100# I've have had more relaps than sucess this way. Most of the time here lately micotil has been my go to drug, but that tends...

I had a calf with a bad case of warts one on his neck was the size of a baseball. I asked the vet about a wart vaccine I had seen in valley vet supply he said it was not that effective the best way was to make them bleed as stated earlier on your post or normally at 18 months of age they will...

This is very serious stuff Herford one of the best places to start is the begining. It is a fact that these cattle have contracted something that has never been in you herd before and what ever it is is seriously effecting herd health. Start a time line 30 days before the first sickness rared...

Feedlot Mag. had a two part artical in the last two issues that broke BVDV down in every since of the word very good article if you get the chance to read it.

Pulmo-Guard MpB prevention of respiratory disease caused by Mycoplasma bovis. I asked my Vet about adding this to our vaccination progarm and he said it was throwing your mony away that the vacination was very experimental and in his opion as of now there was no effective vaccine for Mycoplasma...

What months of the year do you find are the hardest on cattle? I have often thought summer or winter because of the extrem temp. but I'm begining to think the fall and early spring months maybe even harder due to the constant changing in temps. 45 at night and 80 during the day. It tends to...

gertman, what makes you think blackleg was the COD in either of these calves

One of the things I've found with these stocker cattle is to start a vaccination program asap when reciveing large groups of cattle 3 days a week there is not much of an option to wait till the stress has been reduced. For the last 48 hours has been the most stress they have ever had in their...

There have been times when I have recived a group of cattle that looked very stressed from shipping and running mild fevers and I have treated the whole group with agrimycen 200 when they are ran through the chute for their first vacinations. What are the effects if there is any on the vac...

In our stocker program we have the very simular vac. program as you have explained. On arrival the calves get privervectin pour on ultrabac 7/somubac, PSV2 and a pinkeye vac. 21 Days latter they get castrated if needed and Bovi Sheild Gold 5 and One Shot. So far this has worked very well.

I don't know if alot of yall use nuberry cutters or not it has made catration alot easier on me and the calf I started using them last year and have castrated 600-700 calves with them. After you pull the cutter through the sack both testical are easy to remove and it heals up real nice. the...

Check with your vet about vitiman defecence I had a calf that had the same problem just all at once his rear was paralized and the vet said possible vitiaman problems. It can't hurt to find out, I hate to lose a calf over something I could have very well prevented.

You can lance it with a razor and spray with blue coat and it will go away in a few days. Just make sure you give it time to heal up nice. make sure you don't cut much a little goes a long way.

Vet is real good probally the best in our area I have a lot of confidence in him. The reason I got the calves up was I had to pull one that was showing some respitory issues and 2 more came with him so I decided to check them while I had them in the chut and started seeing that even these...
