If he doesn’t manage to get up on his own and then thrive he will be euthanized. If he does make it then he will be fed up and become dinner. I keep any heifers I raise and put steer where steer usually end up.

Steer I took on 2 years ago. He’s being evicted off the feed bill and into the freezer at the end of the month

This is what I do lol.

I’ve heard of it before and watched a video but I just assumed as he was already a week old it wouldn’t help

He was born almost 2 weeks ago. Rancher said he never got up and nursed they gave colostrum and tried to bottle feed him for almost a week. He was weak and lethargic when they called me to give it a try. I have him eating, he’s got a strong suck. But seems to weave and bob when pushed onto...

I bottle raised her so probably about $400

She was an orphan from a big ranch I get all their orphans her mom was the Braford her sir a full correinte they tried on first time heifers. The bull I have lined out is a polled black angus ( brother in law used to have him sold him to his neighbor) neighbor said throw my heifers in my big...

Ignore my gelding hiding behind the fence post. The heifer behind him is about a month older than the one in question and her pasture partner she’s a Braford and fat with a nice body. These two are supposed to move to the bigger place this weekend. I usually use the home field for my weaning...

She’s at my home pasture (9 acres) now but I have access to another 160 acres that will be housing the older heifers with an older angus bull which at the moment is 12 heifers.

I’m in South Texas. The bull lined up to run with my heifers is a black angus. My heifers were wormed about a month ago and have hay, pasture (which is already green and growing) and protein tubs and loose minerals. Does sound like I should trust my instincts and cull.

Yes To be honest she’s always been this wonky lol

I’m in need of all of your opinions, to me this heifer is really thin hipped and has a wonky top line. She’s 13 months correinte/ Braford Just not matured or would be better in the freezer? I’m new enough in cattle I’d rather not breed one I know would have calving problems.
