:cry2: Took one of my favorite cows and her calf to the sale barn. She was only 8 yrs old with a 4 mo old bull calf. For some reason, the cow had been bloating ( I was treating her constantly) and she had lost weight. I think she was circling the drain. The calf also was a failure to thrive ...

One of our show heifers has bloated 3 times. We finally think it is the clover hay. She is on a feed of cracked corn, soybean meal and show cattle supplement. Good grass hay. No more episodes. Should we cull her or risk keeping her for breeding stock after our fair the end of June. :???:

:cry2: One of our very best 3 year old cows ( this was here second calf) had a terrible accident last pm. She was in labor, the calf was large but by no means a 'monster' calf. The calf came easily, then the whole uterus followed, the cow ruptured the uterine artery and bled out and died...

Last years bottle steer weighs in at 900 lbs. Yea, he is a big tame lug. The kids took him in 4-H ( starter calf program) but they only show heifers ( that attachment thing) If he were to return as a regular 4-h calf, he would have to be in the auction at the end of the fair. So for him the...
