I use one called Livestocked. Don’t know if it’s the best but I can track everything I need to on it.

Took two quarts of milk replacer like a champ this afternoon and led her right over to another cow and she went to robbing. Think between a bottle and other cows I think she will grow out just fine.

She took half a bottle this afternoon. She broke out of the yard and got back with the main herd. Just ignore the piney woods calf.

Sucked maybe 1/3 of a bottle this morning. She didn’t take it easy but it’s progress. Tubed her after since she probably won’t get fed again till late this afternoon. She is getting some fight back in her now. Thankfully I caught it in time to bring her back around.

Calf is up and walking around now. Got her cleaned up and in the yard. Hopefully I can get her to take a bottle soon. If she gets anymore energy it will be hard to hold and tube her. Poop looked better this morning also.

Seems I always have problems on the weekends when it’s hardest to get ahold of the vet. Everything I have read about this situation is pretty much getting whatever treatment right into her gut is the best way to treat it. If I can get some probiotics soon I will try it. Calf is probably going to...

Just tubed her a quart of milk replacer. Hopefully that’s not to much to mess her stomach more. I will do electrolytes and milk replacer in the morning. I will get some Imodium when I go to town after that.

Thanks. I plan on getting her settled in the yard tomorrow once her mamma is gone. Going to tube her a small bottle tonight and I will steal an egg from my neighbors tomorrow. The Imodium will have to wait till tomorrow also. Can’t wait to give her a bath. She keep laying in poop so I get...

Already kicking myself for not selling this cow last year. Cow got mastitis last year after she was dry. I thought she just lost that quarter and was hoping I could get one more calf out of her. Well I have a 3 week old calf of hers that’s extremely weak. I guess I have an infection in the cows...

I watched 200 lb calves sell for over $7 a lb last week. I was hoping to get one to graft onto a cow but not for those prices.

What’s the call on the bull? If you get in a tight I have a heifer bull I got from them spring of 24 you can borrow if you get in a tight spot.

Things keep making leaks in my neighbors pond dam. Thought they were supposed to build dams and not destroy them.

100% true. WDE. I’m kind of glad to see ole miss win. Never liked kiffin so to see his team win a championship and him not get a ring because he was greedy and wanted more money.

Never mind. Says I can’t post a video from Facebook
