That is one big butt! Hoolllyy COW!

Wow! I am really sorry to hear about that, it must be devastating. I wish I could offer more comforting words but... 65! wow There is nothing worse than dealing with sick/dying calves, I feel for you.

I am so glad you answered my post Lucky. You have been VERY informative! :clap:

oh I don't really think our winters are really all that bad... :lol2: I'd rather it be this than august at 100 degrees with an index of sweat ur a** off. But as the song says " its not so much te heat as its te gosh dern humidity ya know" :lol: **Can any non-wisconsinite name that...

I believe there could be permanent damage even if they don't show any symptoms Reduced feed conversion anyway

thanks everyone!

I like her too. Who would have ever thought to cross those two breeds...:) or was she a oops? Which one was the dam and what is she bred to? Where did you find her at?

Could anyone explain the formula to me on how to figure out how much soybean meal to add to ground ear corn to make it be about 14-15% protien?

Kathy, You seem like a sweet person so I just want to warn you. Please don't make a pet out of this calf. It is very tempting and cute when they are babies to "play" with them, but when she gets older this behavior is very dangerous, even if she doesn't intent to hurt you, she can and will. So...

I'm sorry about your calf My grandpa once put a deer fawn through a chopper.... tho i don't think they found anything that even remotely looked like a leg. He felt bad for a while too, but it would easy to do when they are hunkered down trying to hide, so don't feel too bad.

Thanks Denver took them in last week and got the check this week. I was pleased!

She sounds like she would be an interesting gal to have around. Does she have horn buds?

Do the prices for feeder cattle change at all at the sale barn before or after christmas? I'm taking a couple in either this week or next so I was just curious.

Another heifer... you have all the luck! :lol2:

Sustain is a sulfa right? i think I read that treated coccidia too somewhere, I am going to give it a try. Thanks. I think we will have to get used to using corid in the water or the pellets from now on too. We might move next years calves to a different building for a few years so the cysts in...

Thank you for all the info Lucky We run a crypto and giardia, among other things, on basically everyone who comes in with diarrhea, on an analyzer that I can't quite remember the methodology right now... i think ELISA, can't say I've seen many positives tho. I have another question for you, I...

I was trying to research how good it would be to feed cornstalks this winter cuz like everyone else around here i'm short on hay. I stumbled on this article. It's kinda old so some of you have probably read it, but it is a pretty good read and gives really specific numbers, especially on gain...

That's what i thought Lucky, I don't know why my vet would think this, he's pretty young so he has to to be pretty fresh out of school. There are tons of really reputable refrences on the web that pretty much says the opposite of what he told me. When he said people could get coccidia from...

Your old cow in the top pic looks like she is giving you the stink eye :lol: lol

Ur probly right :) It was just a thought cuz my dad's herd is also on pasture a large percentage of the time and he regulary gets rewards for his cells counts as well, but he also has good udder maintenance. I didn't know texas had much of a dairy industry, so i'm learning everyday on this site:)
