I just treated her for lice. Here’s a photo of the tail rubbing happening. Been spraying it with vetericyn too.

I have a heifer who has been rubbing her tail head so bad that it’s now scabbed and bleeding. Ideas? Worms? Thanks!

Ok thank you. I have several pastures I was just trying to make my life simpler lol!! Will keep them separated until the steers get butchered. 😊

I have 2 calves that have been separated for 48 days from the mama cows since weaning. Is this long enough to let them back together? Thanks!

Thank you everyone! Great points.

I would say the solid red steer is around 1000lbs, the white face might be more like 800lbs but I don’t know the age of these guys.

Jusy bought these 2 boys from my neighbor a few weeks ago. They are good sized. I need to make a decision on when to start grain finishing them to get a butcher date set. The problem is that the local cut and wrap facility closes in the months of November and December. So basically I can decide...

I have a first calf heifer due in 2 weeks. She’s just now ever so slightly starting to bag. My previous first calf heifers began bagging over a month before calving. Is there a lot of variation on bagging up for first calf heifers?

These are the bugs. They are teeny tiny and as far as I know, are dead now. We left the feed out in the sun for a few days and there aren’t moving around anymore.

True… wish I knew what they were. They are teeny tiny, almost look powdery.

I work at a feed store and we got a pallet of sweet cob that has little teeny tiny bugs in it. After leaving it in the sun the bugs are all dead. I am able to get the pallet at no cost, would it be ok to feed to my feeder calves? I would hate to waste a whole pallet and really I don’t think...

Thank you, that’s the plan is to process them in December. Should be good and ready by then since they will be on a good finishing ration.

Unfortunately the cow ended up drying up and we are bottle feeding the calf now. Mama cow went to the auction!

I also have been banding at birth, usually within 3-4 days and never given tetanus.

Thanks BFE. I just bought her about 2 weeks ago. I might be able to find a customer who is ok with the smaller carcass. How much finishing time do you think she’ll need? She’s pretty fat, but she still young.

I really would like to sell heifer #3 and heifer #4. My main issue like you mentioned, is that I already have these beef sold for customers, so I feel as if I am scrambling to try to replace them to keep good beef supplies to my consumer. I always predict a hanging weight average from 750-850...

They were born Spring 2022. The heifer #3 is actually the youngest of them. But she’s pretty small, my guess is only about 600-700lbs. She’s only been on grass. Bill was dexter and really well muscled. Cow was b&w face. Maybe I can make an appointment to have her done sooner? I don’t think she...
