Looking Good ! Always like to find them like this..up looking alert and ready to go.

Several months ago our Pastor told us ..if the Lord brings you to it--everything you need is there. Tonight I have re-newed faith ! Thank you all for your help with my problem! The cow was up and walking around when I went this pm. She looked thin on the calf side--I looked in the area she...

First off I should clarify, the vet did not really push the bloodwork and when she couldn't do the IV, I didn't go there. I talked to my husband and we do not think there is anything wrong with the cow except a pinched nerve or something going on with the calf. We are not going to have blood...

Thanks Suz, I had some molasses so I have mixed some up with a little baking soda in it. I also have the electrolytes and anacid the vet left me yesterday mixed in a bucket..I am using a calf tuber that hooks to a bottle and can also be used to drench. I really think its a pinched nerve and...

Thank you Goodlife..I sent you a pm. Oh and Hillsdown, no temp and no banamine. I got a bottle of it--it is expired since 2009--but its been stored in the house, maybe I could get the Vet to give me a syringe of it--I could take her tempature, don't know why I didn't think of that, I guess...

how am i going to get something under her belly? I was thinking maybe somthing under her front legs I could manage. That is what I am trying to find someone to help me with. I thought maybe if we just even dragged her a few feet she might be able to get up. I have a skid loader that will...

Okay, I called the vet, the vet came out. She did an exam, gloved up and said she thought the cow was pregnant but the calf was in deep or she couldn't feel because the cow was laying down. The cow did take a big poo during the exam and it did not look like the manure was changed that much...

Yes I just called the vets office, I told them what I wrote and the receptionist came back and told me "the vet said it sounds like you cow is having a calf".

Could a cow walk around bloated for 2 days? Would she look huge if she was bloated? I'm not sure she is drinking either..thanks dun, I will try something. I'm on my own this week, husband is out of town..maybe I should call the vet.

Today a 5 yr old cow in good condition bred with her 3rd calf, due approx 6 weeks (I write down when cows are in heat, lying down acting wierd. 2 days ago the cows pushed down a section of fence that needs work and most of them were out, except her and 2 other cows. I put grain in the feed...

WoW! this kinda stuff just makes me wonder!!

My perfect farm would be: 1. Paid for 2. Good location with good access for hauling cattle or anything else that is needed (feed, hay, fertilizer) 3. Good soil and good drainage. Hay fields already established a plus 4. Water souce, well, lake, creek 5. As much as I hate clearing timber, I...

The first picture is beautiful and in my opinon could win a photo contest! Great looking cattle too ~ they make a beautiful picture and sight too :)

Your cattle are looking good this year Randy. Looking at your pictures through the years I definately see an improvment in your herd. They are looking fat and sassy like big bull says. Always love your pictures.

Yes Beefy, they are Lucy's calves. I locked him up a couple days, then let him go and he stayed in the barn a couple of days. Sometimes when I go up he comes to the fence and I bottle feed him, a couple of times he won't come. Yesterday when I went he was nursing Lucy (the cow)..she...
