I would really like to hear what i could have done wrong. I didn't realize there was a mistake in setting them in pasture and expecting them to do what was natural. Pretty much common sense that people would get rid of their bad cows at a higher price rather than butchering them. Just seems...

The second kind i used was micotil. I don't know if the illness just run its course or if that did it. Anyway he's great now.

You think the momma will take it back?

to all the calf seems to have recovered. It has been eating strong the last couple of days. It even plays with the kids running around chasing them and bucking. Hes going strong. Thanks for the replies.

Thank you for your great post. That helps us green horns out a bunch. Thanks milkmaid! Just had a cow reject her calf and I'm scrambling to save this little bugger. I'm sure i have made many mistakes but its not from lack of trying. People like you giving your knowledge out for free after...

And again thank you for all your input and advice. You don't know how much I appreciate your input and knowledge. Thanks again!

This sounds like a good thing to check into. Any ideal of the name of this equipment? Thanks

I think your right about the sale barn. I planned on running them all back in October anyway. I bought all three (bred back with calves on the side) at the same sale barn and all three had some type of problems (mastitis,crazy cow, bad momma, all three calved though). I was always told thats...

I was lucky or unlucky and happened to be on top of it. I would say 18 hours went before i could tell she rejected it (was able to give it a colostrum solution at about that time). She (cow) was playing a game and she called it but this was after beating it away for an hour . When i pinned...

To each own but he had nothing to offer and maybe I took it wrong. This is not my first rodeo in a chat board.

I hear you granny but why in the heck are they so high? All i hear around these parts are "registered", high quality blah blah blah. I really don't know what kind of maintenance is needed other than a good fence but they seem to be a little high for something that doesn't do nothing but eat...

Dang this could have saved me a few dollars.

Thats what i hear. I guess some can't step up to the plate all the time.

I appreciate all your advice and i'll try to get you some pics. I'm in the process now. It seems to be like cracking a vault would be easier but in the process. The jury is still out on your buddy ga. prime. I don't like smart 4sses and have no room for people that think they're dropped from...

Thanks Frankie some good info there.
