Well as of this time she is still alove and has not had anymore seizures that anyone has seen. As I just arrived back home yesterday have not been relaly able to observe myself. The reason the vet did not come out is that I have no real place to catch and hold cow. No headgate, squeeze shut and...

Talked with a new vet today. ? Rabies? Going to give Antibiotic tonight and isolate. Was concerned the most with cahnge in behavior.

Just noticed the activity this afternoon. Am planning to call vet first thing in the morning. Did call another rancher who raises semintals also and his advice was like your call vet. I was hoping to avoid vet call but now know it is more than I can handle as she ahs lost some weight and tonight...

I have an older cow how has been just laying around a lot last couple of days. Does get up to eat but otherwise not too active. This afternoon when I was feeding noted her to stretch full out and legs stiffened up and then she begain to have seizure like activity in both back legs. Lqasted about...

WE have simmental and NO barns ect they are just in the open and until reently have never lost one. You really want to look at matenal calving ease. We go for the highest number we can get and Have not had to pull a calf yet. As for them being sickly, not had any problems. One got rare type of...

No we never did find out what was wrong with him, but to begin with I belive I had a vet who did not give a flying fig. Guess what I am in the market for a new vet one who will actually care for my animals. Thanks for asking

I can tell you from recent experience that rolling something that large over takes more than two people. Mine might of been a bull but cows are no light weights either. You will know if they are done as they just don't try anymore. As for the bedsores. What out. Mine got one on the upper part of...

I wanted to up date everyone who has been so helpful. I had to put Jeb down night before last. HE was not getting any better even tho I wanted him to. It is a great loss but one I know comes with the activity. To those of you who thought I should of done it sooner, you were most likely right...

NO the vet has not said crap all he has done is stand and look at him and say you need to roll him and give steriod shot, and the cork screw of coarse. Have not figured what I paid him for I think I could of done that without a degree. No offense to the vets whom really care and want to help ot...

No worming done recently. As for the trailer doubtful. Looks as if he is getting worse today. Breathing hard, but did eat and drink. Still issues withthe cork screw. I am wondering if he has broken his hip or leg as when I move his right hip and leg it just grinds and pops. Any ideas? I do...

Today with the help of my very nice neighbors we were able to roll "Jebidah" on the other side for short time. No dead hair and circulation looked to be pretty good. Did not want him on the side for long as cork screw was on that side. We then got our heads to gether and turned him on his belly...

Thank you for the information. I use an accountant but not sure how she is taking deductions off. Will check with her as just took taxes in yesterday. Your information was very timely.

Not in Northern Texas but I have some Simmental yearling bulls and yearling hefiers for sell. They can be registered. They all have high claving ease and maternal calving ease. Thought I would let you know

WE have been giving him H2O but he has not been drinking the normal amt he would. HAve given him water also from water bottle in which we squirted it in his mouth. What are your thought on giving electolytes or soda for energy as he expends so much energy trying to get up?

I have thought about taking him to the school. Discussed with a dairy farmer yesterday. His response is how much do you want to spend. HE is right but darn it loosing a bull is expensive too , as we had just sold this guy. We raise simmental. We have been feeding prarie hay and 20% protien tub...
