I have had cattle alergic to fescue that would lay down on the ground beller paw run and do all sorts of crazy things.The hooves are burning it is very painful.Put her up with hay feed and water.Not all fescue will do this to cattle but hay will cause this just like the regular pasture.It is...

I have thought about cutting those but never have.They will go away but it takes a long time. I have always thought it was a reaction to the chenical alone but I have heard others say it is a dull needle

My experience has been it doesn't work.

I would also make dry hay available to him. Keep good blocks out for him as well.I love the Super R block that Purina makes.

I'll check with another vet. This vet won't even sell me banamine. But he will sell me Micotil. He said Banamine and ladicane had to be given by a vet.

I wouldn't doubt if someone put something in him to lock him up.I have heard of people doing that to a scouring calf before.Then sell as fast as they can .Then its your problem when and if it does scour again. I would say you probably have more problems here than just the lock up.

I had a char steer with warts all over his neck and head.I tried pinching them I fed them to him and did everything that is mentioned here.It didn't work.As a last ditch effort I went to Wal Mart and bought some Equate wart remover and applied that for about three days and within a month all the...

Give him a shot of Ivermectin. I n about a week I bet he'll start back gaining. Or it is time for the sale barn.

I use the knife and have had very good luck with it. I know there has to be pain for the animal and I asked my vet about purchasing some of that numbing medicine. He said NO in no time short, I believe it would be better for the animal but I can't go to pay a vet every time I need a bull...

I have a seven hundred # steer and his feet are grown out.I guess he's been foundered at one time. He seems to walk gingerly on those back feet. Any suggestions on making him more comfortable?

I tried loose minerals and the cattle wouldn't acknowledge it. Is there a secret to getting them to partake.

Your bloaters are always big eaters it seems to me. I got a big group in last year and it had one like that. Its not right something is messed up on the inside. That is probably why he is thin. I sold mine and about broke even. I doubt a calf like that will ever ammount to anything.

Corn is high. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not but I would think so. The place I buy my feed just raised prices on all feed across the board.They said it went up and they have to pass it on. It could be associated with the gasahol ethanol craze that is now taking place.
