I use a 2:1 mix of 45% portein peanut meal and salt. 20-25 pounds of magnesium or phosphorus mineral is included depending on time of year and grazing conditions. Cattle on wheat are offered 13.5% magnesium loose free choice mineral only. On dry pastures I add a 12% phosphorus mineral to...

Hello Elaine, My vet took samples during an exam. He advised that treatment for Lepto that has an acceptable success rate is (for a 1100 pound cow) 55 cc of LA 200 followed by a second dose 3 days later. Give 5-7 cc per injection site. We shipped the cow.

I just had an encounter with what my vet and I both thought was Johnnes disease. The cow never recovered after calving, was scoured continually, appetite was acceptable, but weight loss continued. TAMU diagnostic lab results of fecal and blood was negative for Johnnes, but had a titer of 3200...

There are numerous management stategys concerning this. I am somewhat more concerned in warm summer months in Texas than in winter. I agree one should wait for natural detachment, but at some point a judgement call has to be made just as when do you provide assistance during calving. The...

Bill, I am sure you already know why we have grass burs in pasture. Poor soil fertility and lack of competition. A non chemical approach though somewhat expensive is to soil test and obtain a high soil fertility and let the cattle graze the burrs and reduce burr formation. A significant...
