Wow, she needs a new address.

One day we were loading a bull and as usual we started from just beyond where the trough is. We would get him running thru those pens up to the trailer and hop in, but he turned around and came at me. I threw my cap on the ground and he stuck his nose on it while I jumped up on the fence. After...

We took 3 heifers to the vet for the vaccine. $10 dollars each. Thanks for the replies. We plan on keeping this one and 2 others that are 11 months old. We'll breed them late December/January.

What are the requirements in Texas for the brucellosis vaccination for retained heifers? I've read a few documents from the state and still not sure. Called the vet office and was told need to vaccinate before 12 months old, or testing would be required after 12 months old. Are the vaccinations...

Don't know but probably wouldn't hurt to treat for lice with Saber pour on.

Seems like bulls have more flies than the cows do around here.

jltrent (formerly jed clampet) do you have a photo of the rubs added to the salt licks? We've been using fly tags (tag in both ears in cattle and calves), minerals with IGR, and pour on when needed. I think the fly tag rotation is important as it seems to be working for us.

TTBHG what kinda hay are they being fed?

Dang, sorry to hear that.

A donkey killed a calf?
