Thanks dun, I'll give them 3 minutes just to be safe :D Just kidding of course. I was thining about spraying in the early evening then waiting untill about noon the next day for the sun to dry it out. By that time they would need to head back over it to the woods for shade. They don't graze...

How long after spraying Amine 400 - 24D on my pasture can I safely turn the beef cattle back on it to graze?

The cow with the corns on her hoofs died last night. When I checked the pasture this morning she was dead. We took her to NC State Vet school a couple days ago. They trimed her hoofs, took her temp, listen to her heart and sent her home. There had to be something else wrong with her. Big lost...

Hi Friends, This is an update on the cow with the corns, that dun posted a few days ago for me. We took her to NC State Vet School today and they felt that the corns were not bad enough to cause the lameness. The vet thought that the condition of her hoofs were probably the problem and trimed...

I agree 100%. A bull that is aggressive can't stay around here. Won't have him, no matter how good he looks or how good his number are. Not worth it. I will share this with you though. Just about every bull that I have ever bought, at first will do crazy things. Like attack the bale of hay on...

dun, you are amazing and a GREAT mentor to all of us on this board. Thanks for posting the picture and question for me. We have now correctly diagnosed the problem with this cow and I am in the process of getting help for her. :oops: I hate to say that I have been dealing with this problem for...

Thanks hillsdown, I'm going to need some luck here I think. I forgot to tell you something it my last post. She came with a heifer calf at side. If I can get this next natural calf out of her and a couple of flushes, I'll be ok. It will not be the 3-4 years of flushing that I had planed on but...

hillsdown, we purchased her from a very reputable breeder in Virginia. One of the best. We have also bought from them before. I did a lot of research on this cow before we bought her. They paid $55,000. for her in 2005 and her calves have been averaging around $9,000. each in sales. Her flush...

hillsdown, she is a Reg. Angus donor cow that we bought this spring. She is in a 9 acre pasture where the shade is at one end of the pasture and the water is at the other end. That's not good for her but I do not have any way to fix that. She makes it from the back to the front about 4pm every...

Thanks jedstivers !!!!!

Sounds interesting Lucky_P, do you have any idea what a procedure like that could cost? I might add, they are on all four hoofs. The others are not as large as this one. She is also a $4,000. donor cow.

We are trying both methods this year for the first time. We purchased some embryos that are of extreamly desirable mating. Got a good buy on both sets. Then we purchased a 8 year old donor cow that again is top of the line. She sold in 2008 for $55,000. We got her in 2011 for a few thousand...

Thanks dun, That is what I was thinking also. It is worth a try before shipping her.

We have a 3 year old cow that did not have a calf with the rest of the herd. Calving has been finished now for about 3 months and she is showing no signs at all. I will preg. test in the next few days. If she is not preg. I need to figure out where to go from here. We have quite a bit of money...

It sounds like you are doing it right hooknline. When you get done you will have a good trailer
