    Stud service

    I have an angus bull and someone wants to pay me to take it to his farm for a couple months to breed his cows. Does anybody know how much I should charge?

    Cow down. Can't get up

    Update: We had to put the cow down. When we opened her up we found a large injury to her hip area so evidently she was either kicked or fell somehow. Thanks for your input everybody!

    Cow down. Can't get up

    If it is grass tetany how can we treat it? Yes she is moving her front legs. It's very possible she fell on the ice as we have had alot of snow/ice recently. We've turned her but not 4 times a day; due to lack of resources etc.

    Cow down. Can't get up

    She was in with a steer. Vet seemed to think it was best to keep her on her left side bet we've been turning her. It was suggested to put her in a sling and hang her up like they do for injured horses.

    Cow down. Can't get up

    The vet didn't know what to think of it. Said he had never seen something like this. She's not bred; vet did confirm that. Somebody thought it might be grass tetany, but this isn't the time of year for it. Her legs do not have any injury or rot to them.

    Cow down. Can't get up

    First time we've used him. Well he said there is something wrong but he doesn't know what it is. Everything he checked turned out normal...no infection..etc.

    Cow down. Can't get up

    We found our heifer down in the field and she can't get up. She had been very healthy up til now. We can't find any injuries on her. She still is eating and drinking well and acts lively; just can't get up. The vet came out and didn't find anything wrong. Any ideas?
