We never saw him try to get up yesterday, but yesterday we weren't certain he'd be around today. Today, he tries but cannot get up. Therefore, not sculling when we're not there. We've lifted him up so that his feet are on the ground to see if he could stand on his own, but he couldn't...

Calf and mom are together and mom is trying to get the calf up by nudging and mooing. Calf more perky, head up, compared to last night. Tried to bottle feed, calf wouldn't go for it although took a few swigs. Tried to tube it but couldn't he's now much stronger and will need to restrain him...

Here's our status: We tubed him 1 1/2 quarts colostrum, per instructions. This was done approximately 7.5 hours after birth since we did not have supplies on hand. Cleaned his body, continued to rub him, brushed him dry, and brought him into the barn. At +12 hours, tubed him 2/3 quart milk...

New calf this morning, not sure the birth time, maybe 8AM. Calf won't get up. The calf also gurgles while breathing. Seems to hiccup, as well. Head was down on ground with tongue partially out, lifted up head breating and disposition improved. Held head up, massaged body. All legs more...

Yes, he is weaned. Took his temp 1/12 noontime. 106 Gave LA 200 SC, dosage per label. After reading temp. Also gave him vitamin AD &B SC dosage per label. We separated him from rest of herd so we could concentrate on him and to limit his desire to be with the other animals. Gave him grain and...

OK If this calf has BVD then should the antibiotic be administered concurrent with Banamine? The labels look like they can be done so. Any comments? Thanks again.

OK. We'll check temperature. I suspect you think it might be pneumonia or eliminate that as an option. I did see the calf cough a couple times but I have seen that before in otherwise healthy cattle. What's the correct way to evaluate breathing? Then, what's the best course of action against...

Lower, maybe 35 degrees down from normal.

No. This bull-calf is the larger (a bit larger) of the two (the other is about 6 months) and we have not observed any fighting between them or him and others. Yes, keeping two bulls in the same field would not be a good strategy.

Hi All, We have 9 month old Black Angus bull-calf that is behaving odd. He generally doesn't wander with the herd, stays alone most of the time, doesn't seem to eat much, looks healthy, doesn't have diarrhea. When he does walk I see a regular walk, no limp. When I approach him on foot he...

We have a black angus cow with a discolored eye. We noticed this about 5 days ago. I reviewed other posts and concluded it was pink eye. The next day we put her in the the shoot, rinsed her eye with saline solution, and gave her an injection of oxytetracycline. Orignally the eye was black...

We've taken a steer out of our herd and are keeping him in a pen about 400 sf. This space was arbitrary - our objective was to have him conserve energy and gain weight. What is the correct amount of space for this 900-1000# steer while we grain/hay him.

What approach should be taken to inspect the underside of a cow's hoof without injury to the cow or the inspector? This is my second post on the same problem ("limping cow") We have a squeeze chute and I suppose it's possible that we could tie a rope around the leg and tie it off so we could...

I haven't put the cow in the chute yet, but she was laying down and she had her hoof exposed and I was able to get within 3 feet of her. I could see the top and underside of the hoof and there didn't appear to be anything abnormal (no swelling, weeping, blood, no split or broken hoof). What...

Cow is 6 months along. Wouldn't give anything until I knew what the issue was. Wanted to know what I might need to source and where I could get it quickly. Thanks for your responses.

3 year old, otherwise healthy, cow, pregnant, limping rear leg, no apparent abrasions, cuts, swelling. Just noticed this afternoon. Brought her into the barn into a 30'x30' area w/water, food and grain to allow her to eat, etc w/o extensive walking around. I will put her in shoot tomorrow to...

What is the typical weight loss in a steer from "on the hoof" weight to "hanging weight" to cut and wrapped weight. Breed: black angus. Age: 14-21 months Thanks again!

Michele: Thanks for the pics. Are you grinding the cob as well? Didn't see the mechanism for emitting the cob. Are you feeding beef or dairy cattle. How much do you provide the each day (do you ration or just leave it out)?

I need to buy a cattle scale. Have any of you had experience with any of the offerings on eBay? Thanks

I have PW gates. They have two rectangular rods connected to a handle that when moved lock the gate in place against the opposing gatepost. What is typically used on the opposing gatepost to accept these rods so that the rods are / gate is secure against the opposing gatepost? Thanks again!
