Yes, yes, and I don't know she is not pregnant, I do know that other cow exposed at same time birthed 3 months ago, BoviShieldGold

She has been off calf since last fall, she received two doses of BSG.

Trying to figure out why first calf heifer could be three months late and still not showing in sack. She was on schedule with first calf. She was vaccinated with bovi-shield gold last spring before turn out with bull who was also vaccinated. Bull was 2.5 yrs at turn out and they have been...

that's what I thought, I was planning on respraying in the fall anyway.

Two weeks ago I sprayed 2,4-d but sprayed too weak (trying not to kill white clover I planted last year). I have a 50lb bag of coated hulled common bermudagrass I was going to broadcast seed in a week but there are a lot of weeds still in pasture. If I spray again and wait a few weeks to plant...

we have been getting a lot of rain here in GA this year. it is raining this morning, but supposed to stop and be dry rest of day. is it a good idea to spray AFTER it has rained, or should leaves be fairly dry? UPDATE: I decided to wait, waited tis long, 20-40% chance today, but would be good...

ok, thanks again

ok, thanks. she is not pregnant so I am not worried about the fetal protection. would the viral part be good for longer just not the Vibrio & lepto?

I was vaccinating cows this morning, one jumped over the fence and I could not get her to come back, I was going to try again this afternoon if vaccine was still good. How long do you think I have with Bovi-shield fp 5 VL5 after mixing, it has been refrigerated ever since mixing. Thanks

I bought a bred heifer from the sale last week, and noticed a little blood in her manure today. Everything else looks fine. Any thoughts, maybe from being palpated recently, stress, something else?

I am not worried about the toxicity due to lots of rain this year and hay has been sitting for a few months. But can it get established in pasture by feeding hay with some seeds?

I am about to have lime spread on pasture, There are areas where weeds are high, would rather not cut because I will spray for broadleaf killer in fall. I assume it is ok to spread lime like it is and it will just get washed off weeds into soil.

I edited my post... She might be older than 5. got her from a sale, but I know what you mean.

This is on cows back leg. What looks like need to be done, also looks to be split on top? I have never trimmed hooves before except on goats.I have a squeeze chute I can put her in, but probably needs more than just end nipped with nippers? If I need to tie foot up and trim I am thinking it is...

Looking at angus bulls,.... I am confused because some have high breed % ced numbers, so this is good for unassisted births, but are also high breed % on bw? This seems like a contradiction, if they are high % ced shouldn't that mean a low % on bw? I know there are other factors but shouldn't...
