Thanks all!

Tenn. Tux You don't see anyone jumping on the chance to make a buck, or help me out. Folks used to do it years ago. But no one? Lol.

Hi I own a mixed breed yearling heifer that need bred for the first time or two then I AI after that. But I can't find anyone to let me breed to their bull. I am looking for a good quality bull to breed her to. I can't own a bull as we are on small acre's. I have never done a heifer in AI so...

Explain the environmental factors involved. also if she doesn't twin and has a healthy heifer calf will that healthy heifer be predisposed to twin?

Do you like the twinning type of cows? why? and Why not? Do you feel it comes from the dam or the sire or both?

THANK YOU all for your answers! Truly if they were my animals I would do this. but the owners are not interested in knowing what is going on. So they will just wait it out!! Sad. but we tried. again thank you for your responses. I am always willing to learn! My only investment is I have a heifer...

The second calf picture is last years calf. The cream/brown is this years calf....

They have 10 head all together. I have been on them about feed and minerals and general up keep for the health of there herd.

Yes same cow same bull. They have an excessive amount of twinning as well. They had it last year we all assumed it was from the pine trees but they with held them from the same area. They are frustrated with this problem .

please tell me how to delete the pictures. Thanks!

Well it up loaded the wrong pictures don't even know how that happened. but the calves legs are deformed contracted tendons and in great pain. its whole body is lax and has no muscle tone. I wish I could load the pictures.

Ok have a neighbor who has 2 years of this going on. just bull calves heifer calves are normal. the bull calves don't survive. So I suggested a vet get involved this time and get tissue samples to see if it is some kind of poisoning(s).

Thank You! I will.

How long can a cow go with retained placenta? This is a mature cow that has calved several times and just had twins 24 hrs ago. She isn't mine but the neighbors. Thank you

Ok so just by age then Correct? 13-14 mos. we can do. I will have the vet measure her as I don't want calving problems. I know that random things can happen just by chance. But I don't want to breed a big bull with a 1st time heifer. Then cause problems by my own making. Thank you for your...

Thank you! So I can squirt orally into mouth? I use the Iverm. on her that you would normally give in a shot and that will work? My daughter gives the ponies we have orally so she thought it would be great if we could do our heifer the same way. The heifer is very gentle. I would dose it by the...

Can you give a cow oral dewormer? will it work? Normally I do poor it on down the back but was wondering if oral would work as well or better. Thank you!

Do you breed your heifers by weight or age? and if by weight how much should a new heifer weigh? Thank You
