    fertility question

    The bull is in excellent health, 6 years old, tested good in march of 2003 when I bought him. I only have him with 8 cows and got two calves last year. This is the only reason that I tested him. If the tale is true then on paper I can justify keeping him for a while. It starts getting hot in...

    Heifer finally calved

    During Sept and October of 2003 I wrote telling everyone about a heifer that I had that went down. The vet came out and drew blood and had a blood count of 10 or 11 (very bad). He diagnosed with anaplasmosis. We hand fed her, forced water down, and picked her up with hoist and straps. This...
