Well, never meant this post to gather so much advice on drugs, but I do appreciate the feedback. Which by the way, my bottle doesn't say phenylbutazone so it may not be Bute, which is my HUGE mistake. I'll have to look when I get home. It actually starts with a B so I assumed it was Bute...

Yes we love our pets! But, we also have a pasture full of others that are not pets and there is a difference. If this was one of them I wouldn’t be here asking for advice. If it comes down to it we would do what we needed to with the show heifer. I’m not one of those people lol!

I will add that she appears to be recovering fine as far as injury. She’s come a long way in the past 2 weeks. She’s walking almost back to 100% and eating/drinking as normal. Also, we have absolutely no plans of shipping her. She’s my daughter’s show heifer that we’ve had since a calf and if...

Thank you both for the replies! I shouldn't have tried to shorten the story. She's a show heifer and was going to be AI'd. She wasn't with a bull she was with a large group of heifers also there to be AI'd so I don't believe she's bred. The CIDR was placed and she went lame a few days after and...

I also wanted to add she’s had a shot of Dexamethanol the last 2 days and Bute yesterday. Not sure if it matters.

Long story short our cow went to a breeder and ended up injured in her back and/or rear legs. No one is sure what happened. She came back after 6 weeks and for the last 3 days she had to be picked up with hip lifters to be able to stand. This morning around 3:30 she got up on her own and had not...

We have a show heifer that’s a year old. She’s had watery eyes and a snotty nose for several days but has been eating fine. Vet gave us Resflor Gold. Due to unfortunate circumstances I was unable to get her in a chute but we’ve been able to give her vaccinations without a chute in the past so I...

I have 2 show heifers that are 1 year old. The past week they've been scoured. I believe it's from increasing their feed. They do have hay to eat on all day. Do I need to treat them somehow or will their system eventually straighten out after it becomes used to the increased feed? Are all...

Thanks for your reply VCC. I've been told that the registration papers could be sent it a few months later which is a shame. I am afraid their volume is genetic. I do believe we have 2 good heifers and yes, there are some that push their poor calves past what they should be. We enjoy the...

We recently purchased 2 Hereford heifers that are almost 12 months old. Last week at the show they both placed last in their class. We thought we had 2 good calves until we got in the ring. All of the other heifers their age were massive. The judge even commented that he would try to lean one of...

Hi! Not sure if this is the right board or not but here goes. We have a bull that just turned a year old in October. At every show he's been to, we're always told he's too lean. Anytime we try to increase his feed (16% - corn, oats, cottonseed hulls, etc.) he gets scours and it takes several...
