Thanks for replying. The calves are on their moms and grass only.

We sell baby beef age 7-9 months of age straight off the cow. Our customers love the amount and the tenderness but comment that the meat is too lean. Is there something we can do to remedy?

We haven’t used any chemical wormer for at least 10 years. At first we could tell which ones were wormy by condition. They were sold. We occasionally use diatomaceous earth,DE, but only as preventative.

Had heifer with watery eye. Figured unclipped pasture. Got her up to see, found tick irritating the eye on lid.

I’ve read information about anthrax. I’m curious what happened to revive it on this farm?

How’d that happen?

I just watched the one thats worse, shove a live twig thats rooted, up her nostril and blow her nose. Seem to get relief.

I wondered about the fescue. The one that’s the worst try’s to rub the side that’s bothering.

It’s in the nostrils, lungs are clear.

Have two cows that have problems breathing through nose. One is worse and has tongue hanging out when it’s high temp and humidity. She also had something burst inside one nostril and it bled for short time. Has anyone seen this before?

Can you reference anything about Dr. Bartenslagers work with guernseys?

How did bison get needed minerals when they roamed the plains? When settlers brought domestic livestock with them,where did they get minerals. Possibly soil was not depleted? So at what point after years of mineralization to soil and livestock can we quit? I read a survey of new zeeland...

This worked for us. When we noticed runny eyes, bring up cattle for treatment. Draw 20 ml of codliver oil(plain). Squirt 3 ml in each eye, 14 ml in mouth for 3 days. Cattle effected aren't getting vitamin A from forage. Hedgepeth Farm Supply, Canmer, KY sells mineral for pinkeye. I've never...

I have heard that and have seen it also in our cattle. I am trying think of someway to prevent this from happening.(at least with the cattle:) ).We have dairy family milk cows. They are fed small amount of 16% grain while milking and we unroll fescue hay.They are totally outside except to be...

That does seem like a lot of milk fevers. We used to have simular problems. We had always brought the dry cows in with the milkers giving them a little grain to try to boost them up. When we turn them dry now they are taken away from milking cow diet. They dont recieve any until after they...

Dun, is Excenel available OTC or from a vet?Thanks

With the extra dry weather cows are standing in shade and cool spots causing 4 cases of hoof rot so far. I have been using coppertox with some positive results, but its slow. And the first case, her feet are still sore, but not limping.These are dairy cattle. I tried on one to soak it in warm...

I am not sure about your cow, but I do know that we had a calf we were feeding milk with antibiotics(no longer do that), it's eyes bugged out, had the vet take a look, it was allergic.

I went in with another small dairyman and bought a semi load one winter when hay was hard to get. They just dumped it in a pile and we fed out of it all winter in MI. It kept reasonable well not being covered. The cattle ate it ok. If the load you got, like ours, came right from the brewery, it...

Dun, I assume the pens /shelters you are talking about were for calves up to weaning. What did you do with them after that? Not just for Dun, anyone else please chime in.
