    Which mineral to use and when, 9:18 vs 6:12

    Have you put it in their food yet to see if that helps for fleas, ticks, fly control, mosquito control, etc?

    I find it hard to believe that people actually buy dried up dead animals. Do they get a better price if they are in tact?

    Neighbors dog attack my cows

    Spade or neutered animals tend to not be as aggressive. Maybe you should suggest that to your neighbor.

    Pinkeye treatment?

    This may sound silly but have any of you ever heard of Ap-Con A? I know it's for humans, but my son got pink eye on year and a friend said try it, it's like shooting a shot of benedril in your eye. The next morning it was clear, gone. Has anyone ever tried anything that is traditionally used for...

    There are two types of DE on the market. One is a food grade so yes it can go in the food. I have heard also that is is a good de-wormer as well. I really like the idea of a pest control, for fly control,mosquitoes and such.

    Getting close to calving Ken are you ready? Will you post some pics? We have a couple calves here on bottle for now getting ready to take them off. The one with the broken leg has mended very well. Now she has an infection we are fighting off. Her name is Precious and the males is Squirt.

    why is calving early important?

    That's nice that you don't get to much heat, what about humidity? Will it be to bad when it comes time for haying and running? Will there be a fly control issue then?

    Pinkeye treatment?

    Chris, do you put anything on the patch before placing on the eye? Sounds like you have a handle on fly control for now.

    why is calving early important?

    I take it in Montana that the summer heat and fly control is almost next to impossible? Way to get ahead of the game.

    Neighbors dog attack my cows

    Taurus, I would probably do the same thing you are doing. It's not right that people let their dogs roam causing injury to people or other farm animals.

    Keep it clean... and kind!

    I like the saying "If you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say it all."

    Apple cider vinegar

    ACV has many uses. You can put some in a dish with a drop of dish soap for fly control. I use it everyday, I drink a mixture of ACV, honey and water. It's good for heartburn.

    Neighbors dog attack my cows

    Glad to hear the cows are doing okay. That neighbor should be concerned enough to check on your cows and help pay the vet bills.

    Which mineral to use and when, 9:18 vs 6:12

    So are you going to try and use the DE as a fly control measure in your barns or will you be looking into something different?

    Which mineral to use and when, 9:18 vs 6:12

    My friend must use the feed grade DE. I have fed her horses and her dogs and I put it in both there feeds. I didn't know it had such good properties to kill fleas, ticks and flies, that is so neat.

    Here we go again

    I agree with Tennessee. Get into an al-anon group. It did wonders for me. You choose to share or not, I didn't for a while to hard, but it gets easier. There is even a Bible that goes with the program. It's called the Life recovery Bible. I use it just about everyday. And yes I encourage your...

    Lawsuit is settled

    Very well said bear. Erin Brochivich did all the leg work for this. And yes you had better get regular check ups, there are medical issues that become apparent because of this.

    I have a friend who gives DE to her dogs and horses. It's in powder form that she mixes with their food and other stuff. From what you guys are saying it shouldn't be ingested, right? I had no idea it was a great pest controller though.
