We have one cow in 2nd trimester and one cow in third trimester that appear to have lump jaw. I haven't been able to feel the lumps to see if they are soft or hard. I want to do it all in one chute load. If it's soft, I am prepared to lance, drain and treat. BUT - being pregnant - will...

We have never experienced lymphoma in our small herd and quite frankly didn't realize it was a possibility. We had a cow that recently had a calf and started losing weight. We thought she was drained from the baby nursing so heavily so we up'd her grain but she still wasn't gaining. She...

We had a breach calf 2 weeks ago that was around 80 pounds. He was doing well at first until we moved him and his Mom to our new pasture when he was a week old. He developed the scours and was very weak. We took him to the vet to get tube fed and treatment with Moticil (Doc indicated there...
