    Dart guns

    Does Draxxin need to be refrigerated after use I've got Generic Draxxin and I can't find anything on the box that states to be refrigerated, I hope not because it's been a few weeks since I opened it and haven't had to use anymore.

    When to put out hay

    After I kept what hay I needed for me which was 120 rolls 5X5 I had 34 rolls left and advertise on Marketplace for about 3 hours and sold all 34 rolls for $60.00 per roll, he said that he would take all I had to sell and was wanting more.

    Hay Unrollers

    Looks like to me there would be more waste of them stepping on it and crapping on it would be better under a hay ringer, just my thoughts I never tried it.

    Nuflor and the Vet

    I spend some time with my cattle but I don't think that they are that tamed to do that with, the dart gun has been a real handy from having to get the whole herd up.

    Nuflor and the Vet

    That's true but all my herd knows what that gun is and starts walking away from me, but after a month or two after shooting them they go back to normal it's just where I have had 5 cases of foot rot in a couple of weeks that has them all gun shy right now.

    Nuflor and the Vet

    The only thing is it's pretty easy to give the first shot but getting the second once they know what's coming and start running, just takes a while to get the second shot in the neck I don't like shooting at them running causes for a bad shot. That's why I prefer just a one shot deal.

    Nuflor and the Vet

    I don't think Cap-Chur make a 7 and 8 I have a 1,2,5,10,15 and 20cc reusable darts.

    Nuflor and the Vet

    When giving Draxxin I know they say not more than 10cc at each location but wandering if I need to give a 1400 pound cow a shot if it would hurt to give a 15cc in one shot at one location.

    Nuflor and the Vet

    I have a good place to get them up it's just a lot of trouble to get one cow or calf up out of the whole herd when you can take a dart gun and give them med's in the field, saves a lot of time.

    Nuflor and the Vet

    The Vet gave her 84cc so I assume he was thinking she weigh 1400 pounds which would be 6 cc per 100 pound, I don't have any Nuflor but he said to give her Draxxin I just don't know how long to wait since he gave her Nuflor on Monday. All I have is LA 300 and Generic Draxxin. I will be given this...
