Animals look like they are eating good.

I have the Vermeer 5410 and really like it. Have had it for 7 years and it works great. Have had normal baler issues (bearings, belts) but very functional baler and dependable. Check with https://www.carterandcartermachineryinc.org. I would also suggest looking at either a 504M Classic or the...

WB: I have not seen any MSUD in my red or black herefords. I am getting to submit some testing to both organizations just to validate. As with any other defect that pops up it can cause mass chaos. CB: Interesting on the WW and the Ww genes, I asked someone who works as a professor in genetics...

Neighbor has been practicing just that, got two more to go.

Thoughts from anyone who has used or had a vet use Hexasol for respiratory issues?

Sorry to hear that, hope it works out to be well. Friend of mine lost pregnant cow, and then another calf to neighbors dogs.

I love to read these posts from across the US, some are positive and some are negative, provides a good understanding on how people feel. My family and I have been Black Hereford Breeders for 4 years now and have enjoyed all of the good and bad that comes along with changing from a commercial...

Now that picture is hilarious, but so true.

Yes, hopefully they will continue to calm down. Never had this issue before so I guess I look at it as a learning experience. I raise Red and Black Herefords so will continue enjoy more years to come of fun. Walked up today and the just set there looking so innocent. I looked at some pipe...

Fighting is the only time they have gotten out, other than that they have not caused any fence issues, yes they are introduced as calves to the electric fence, and will obey an occasional poly wire fence for moving them when needed. Piping would be nice, would the used oil pipe be a good...

Let me clarify my statement first. I have two lots I run them in, the two acre lot is cattle panel and barbwire, no hot on it and occasionally cows around. Try to keep them moved with at least a paddock in between. The Hot fence is HOT (Herdsman 30 mile), 13k on electric meter, up to 6 joules...

Question for the expert minds: This is my first full venture is raising bulls to sell. All has been straight forward since weaning until full blown puberty. Have sold a few but still have two 17 month old teeanagers that will not quit fighting and breaking fences. I know if I had the money to...

Congrats on live calves. Same wet mess here. Had my first one yesterday. Stay Dry.

When the Vet checked her (actually checked two times) they found nothing to show hardware disease. That was first thought. Nothing in the mouth, no damaged teeth, just the swollen lump under her jaw. LOL kind of looked like a double chin. I had never heard of it as well but both vets said the...

Has anyone experienced this type of issue with a cow? Had a nice 1400lb Hereford cow that early last year had a very large soft lump show up on her lower jaw. Had the vet come out and inspect. They found it was a busted saliva gland in her jaw and gave her some antibiotics vs having to do...
