If you squirt a few cc's of lidocaine onto the eye (be about 4 inches away and be sure and take the needle off the syringe first) and wait 5 min, it is a lot easier -- mine don't resist much at all.

Also, anybody have thoughts about using dried, composted chicken manure this time of year?

I've been very disappointed with Sendero. I've had a lot of the plants I spray come back (and I wait until the leaves are dark green before I spray). Lately, I've been using Remedy in Diesel as a basal spray (it is a pain, but I think I get much better results). If anybody has some other...

Had a flood in our bottom land last year. Now, suddenly, I'm finding what I think are bunches of brown fox tails. I know the problems they cause in dogs. Do they generally cause problems in grazing cattle?

For what it is worth, 24 D ester (e.g., Low Vol 6) can be so volatile that it can, on hot days with just a little wind, end up hitting fields hundreds of yards away. You might consider using In Place if you have any concerns about crops anywhere around you. It is designed to minimize drift...

Can I get your contact information?

I might be interested in getting some dung beetles to re-establish them around here. May I ask where you are located?

Thanks. I took the rectal temp again an hour ago. It was 101.7 two days ago and again today.

I'd appreciate any advice. In the past, I put out tubs with IGR in them, and then alternate pouring on a permethrine or abelmectin product. I only get 2-4 weeks of control when I do this. I was thinking of trying the CyLence Ultra ear tags. I have two questions: a) does using CyLence ear...

He is a reasonable sized calf, not overly large and not growing especially fast. Thanks

Checked with my seed supplier who comes out to my house -- only lupine around here (south central Texas) is Bluebonnets, and the cows do not have access to them.

Thanks. I've palpated and squeezed the knee joints three or four times now. No extra fluid in joint that I can palpate, no pain on squeezing it or on extreme flexion, no swelling that I can find. I had another calf in the pen and palpated his knees too, in order to compare them to this one's...
