Thanks Mike C. I needed that laugh!!! :D

Ok,,,, now my calf is eating dirt. What is this all about? This cow business sure can be discouraging.

I have a calf that was born on July 16th. Her navel is large, it hangs down about 4 inches and it seems to be lumpy inside. Is is the size of a tennis ball. Has anyone seen a herniated navel? Or is this something else. In every other way she seems to be fine. There is no pus or anything obvious...

I have a pregnant dairy cow who is coughing. She is not coughin consistantly but numerious times a day. We also have two steers in the field but I never notice them coughing. Is this something to be concerned over. I am a new commer to cows, I need some advice.

My pregnant dairy cow is loosing the hair under her neck and some on her face. Could the cause be nutritional or parasites or maybe loss of her winter coat. She is new to me so I do not know her normal behavior of winter coat loss.
