Thank you!

Hi! I should like to ask you to help me if it is possible. I have 4 Charolais cows with some hypodermic bulges. There are situated near navel but the navel is not infected. After 20-30 days these bulges (like a tennis ball or bigger) breaks with some discharges (pus). In general after that, all...

Hi everybody! I have one problem with my cows (32 Charolais cows, 4 years age, with calves). I hope you can help me. The stomachs of some cows don/t want to contract, to function from time to time. So the cows don/t want to eating any more. They are sick. We use some medicine with...

I read on internet about beef cattle. I thought is a good idea to breed Charolais because in our country there are no beef cattle. I had some money and started… I like them and I still think it is a good idea. Cosmin

I have a pregnant heifer 3 years old that can’t ruminate. She is not full with air. But her stomach doesn’t want to function. It is blocked. She eats and drinks water. The problem appeared 3 days ago. We gave her some antibiotics and the vet gave her caffeine, some beer yeast and vinegar. She is...

I feed my cows (Charolaise cow and pregnant heifers) with hay, alfalfa and straw. They have a good, optimal body condition but I find them too bellyful. They groan when they set down. I feed them too much? Should I reduce the volume of feed? Maintaining the percent of protein and energy off...

You are right with the land…. Concerning cows…In E.U. only farmers who have the right to produce milk can do that. If you want to come in the business you must by first the quotas from a farmer who wants to retire or to sell you. If a farm produces more milk than it quotas it must pay a fine...

The problem is that we don’t know … We are grazing the cattle (April -December) and the calves. We feed them with hay, alfalfa and supplements in winter. The work and the feed system are like yours. We are someway in the 1950 in U.S.A. (concerning education in beef cattle) but the market rules...

Breeding beef cattle isn’t a common business (occupation) in my country. All the cows were bred for milk ( Holstein and Simmental). The cow meat is imported (Brasilia) and consummators haven’t a taste or preferences for quality meat. The breeders use Holstein calves to make them fat and sell...

The cow calved yesterday without problems and without help. She looks fine. Culling in our country is a hard decision. There are no others Charolaise in Romania. No sales barns, a few abattoirs. Cosmin :)
