3yo bull. I don't know how long these lesions have been present. Slightly swollen around margins. Appears to be a drop of pus on one of the lesions. About the size of a quarter. Thoughts? Spider bites? Actions? Thanks.

Mother was acting like she couldn't find her calf this morning. I didn't believe her. Went back an hour later, she had pushed through an electric tape gate and was next to this. The only thing I can figure is that the calf was running from something last night and hung herself in these bois...

Calf is a week old. Looked fine two days ago. Appears raw and slightly bloody. Calf is fine otherwise. Lesions are around both eyes, between the ears and one spot on top of the head.

What is the best way to locate the best AI tech in my area? I am 1.5 hours SE of OKC. Thanks, Mark

Does anybody use Roughage Buster as a protein supplement when feeding hay? Thoughts?

I would like to seed some cool season annuals into pasture to wean our lambs onto this fall. Turnips, radish, triticale. I read about it but I can't find the specifics of how you do it. Equipment, settings, can I mix them all together, etc. My county has a drill that I can rent. Anywhere I...

I purchased some weaned steers last fall including one that had been recently dehorned. The dehorn(vet performed) was very deep and the owner said that one had been infested with flies but that he had killed them with a pyrehtrin spray. The hole in the stumps was about the size of your little...

Anyone know of a N. Central Texas/Southern Oklahoma supplier that has warm weather seed in stock right now? Q-n-B crabgrass, gamagrass?

Over the past eighteen months I have purchased registered animals from more than one seller. I am having problems getting papers transferred on these animals. I have several questions. 1) What is the accepted protocol for purchasing registered animals and getting the papers transferred? It...

I know I read some ideas in a recent thread about tailing an animal by yourself while restraining them in a squeeze chute. I have a few bull calves to band without help. Can someone direct me to that thread or post some ways of tailing them by myself? Thanks

This has happened in the past two weeks. Spring heifers. Hay and 38% cubes. One of the others seems to have a very small spot that seems to be going this direction. Ideas?

As the summer wore on it became obvious which of my animals were tolerant of my endophyte fescue and which ones were not. These animals are rotated daily and have easy access to piped in water in a trough. I would have the same animals panting and drooling, heads hanging down and looking like...

Treated a few animals for pinkeye this weekend. We set up a temporary pen and chute. There was one spring calf that we could not get in the pen. He is calm and can be walked around to some degree but did not want to leave the shade (I am assuming because of the eye). I had the bright idea to...

Easiest way to treat 15 nursing calves using Corid? 2 of the 15 show clinical signs (poopy butt with no other symptoms), but the vet recommended treating all of them. Opinions on that? These are rotated daily. They are relatively tame. The herd is about 3/4 mile from my pens right now. I would...

Ok, so I got the pinkeye problem of last week handled and now I have another opportunity for personal growth. My animals are moved daily and checked one other time each day. Saturday morning I moved them to a new paddock. Everyone was fine, no lagging animals or any signs that were a cause for...

This is 7 day duration. White spot may be slightly larger. Mechanical irritation? Treatment?

This is the third cow that has had this issue. The first two (they occurred at the same time), I explained as a sprain from stepping in an armadillo hole. Both had a big limp and resolved themselves within a week. On closer inspection of this one, I see the redness. The others had the same...

These are in SE Oklahoma, taken last weekend. This is found in low lying areas of a flat pasture where water stands. Leaves are stiff and coarse. I thought all that green stuff was ryegrass. However, there are two types of seedheads. and

I am almost finished getting my farm set up for rotational grazing and would like some input on best breeds as well as opinions on my plans. My ultimate goal is to direct market grass-fed beef. However, it will some time to realize a cash flow from that part of the operation. In the interim...
