Well she is still living, I go out and check on her every now and then, and when I put hay in I look at her. I talked with my dad, and he said there is no point in calling a vet, because he didnt want a $200+ bill for a $750 cow. She is still living, and eating, and grazing. I have noticed a...

So today I put hay in, and then took the ATV out to look at the cattle. I noticed one cow with alot of foam at the mouth, what could this be. So i went out later, and turned the ATV off, as she was walking to the hay, and she was weezing (I think that is the best word to describe it). What could...

My show calf seems to have ringworm around the eyes, what can be done to cure him? Thanks

Just wondering which is better a CB or a Marine Band( thats what we call them up here, dont know if thats actually what they are called). What do the cops use? I've heard that a marine band will also give you weather channels- is this true? Thanks

Thanks for all the help. So they do come with directions on how to use them? Are the neck sweats used as a short term thing or a long term? How long before a show do you put the neck sweat on?

Just was looking in the Sullivan's website and looked at their neck sweats. Question 1-What do the neck sweats do? Question 2- Is it used for heifers or steers or both? Question 3- Does anyone have before and after pics of a calf they have used a neck sweat on? Thanks

Does anyone know of a website, that displays the current price of the commodities? I just cant seem to find a website that lets me know what corn and beans are sellin for. Thanks

ok. The vet just left the farm about an hour ago. I had her checked and he said to give her a shot of lutalyse. So I guess I will try to get her to come into heat again. I had him preg check three other cows, that I had AI'd with sexed semen. Turns out one out of three actually stuck. So at...

She was never with a bull, so she couldnt have gotten bred, and she never came into heat when the rest were AI'd. There is no possible way she got bred she was in a pen in the barn. No chance the bull got in there.

Ok, so i have this angus show heifer, that I put a CIDR and the GNRH in. She was the only one that didnt come in heat outta the two cows and two heifers i was wanting to have bred. So my questions is, I already have the lutalyse, what procedure should I take to trying to get to come into heat...

I know what you mean. I am in Western Wisconsin, 40 miles from the Twin Cities, and I have enough hay til about End of may. Hopefully we get some good growing weather hear pretty soon. We havent been able to get anything planted yet either. But on the bright side, i am selling 1800-2000 pound...

:clap: :clap: :clap: Someone's got to pay for their welfare.

If i am understanding this, some of your post's say, time will cure ringworm, and RX isn't needed?

What kind of oil would you suggest?

What is the best or easiest way to clean off madded mud clumps, off of a steer or heifer's hair. Is it best to just cut it off, or is their another way?
