I took her to the vet and he felt like she was bitten by something and had a reaction. She never limped, looked listless, or went off of feed. He gave her a shot of Dex and some antibiotics and said give it time. The swelling is almost gone.

What do you think is causing this? Snake bite? She is a 3 year old beefmaster.

How long does it take for a cow to dry up? Do we need to do anything other than seperating the pair? Thanks

The heifer and my daughter both did great. My daughter lead her in the ring by herself. I was a little nervous since my daughter heifer was the youngest in the class and had to lead the way. Thank goodness, the heifer didn't even attempt to run. The only problem was that she got a little nervous...

Tonight we will leave for a show. I'm just hoping all of our hard work pays off. If not, at least we know that we have given it a good try. I think everyone has enjoyed this challenge. Each day, every family member jumps in and does their part. Last night, the heifer did so well that we all...

Update: We have been making a family effort to work with this heifer. My daughter cried when I told her we were going to sell her. She asked me, "would you get rid of me if I misbehaved." So, I told her that we would give her a month to improve. After that point, the heifer would be hamburger if...

Ollie, I think she is spoiled.I'm sure she has gotten away from my daughter or atleast drug her around. I thought I was doing the right thing by allowing my daughter to train her. Live and learn. All of our other heifers might have refused to walk, but nevr bolted. She, the heifer, seems fine...

Thank you for the responses. I can't figure out this heifer yet. At the show today, she was great in one of the rings. In the second ring which was larger, she tried to run twice. My daughter, all 70 lbs of her, was able to get her stopped. I'm afraid the heifer is going to run/push her in the...

My daughter's new heifer wants to run when she leads her. She doesn't have the strength to hold her back. How do break one from doing this? I have some panels and I thought about creating a little pen to work her in and then gradually increase the size. What do yall think?

I'm totally against it. I stopped letting my kids compete at TJLA BBB and Fall Classic because nothing is considered unethical. In past years at this particular show, the fitter were pumping or drenching the animals in the makeup arena. The amount of false hair applied is outrageous. This is not...

We don't feed beet pulp at all to our show heifers. If you want to look a little bloated, then alfafa should give them gas and do the trick. Also, a little hay belly goes a long way in the ring. As far as daily feeding, we use a show ration from hi- pro (a Texas company.) I bet you can find...

My facts are correct. I compared the two judges. You cannot add in the bulls since they were only shown one day.

Normally I only read posts. However, I feel I must respond to culr8 on the show was a joke. We didn't attend the state fair, but I heard the results. My daughters show simbrahs against the family that cul8r is talking about. The heifer and bull calf the culr8 are talking about win everywhere...
