I would try to get them on medicated feed.

The difference in your case is the breed and they are on moma and not a bottle.

Most of the time if you see a baby calf eating hay it is because they dont have anything else to eat or are not getting what they need.

Are you talking about Furst McNess mineral and if so how much cheaper is the mineral with no salt?

Yes be great

What is the deal with you Canadians? I was just on another talk board and there was one mouthing off. Are you all smart a$$es? Just wondering.

Hang in there things can change fast. I am in west tennessee and dealing with the same problems. Can you run them in a stalk field? Mine are in one now. I am feeding soy hull pellets too. I have fed them for several years and fed them one winter to cows to stretch hay. I fed about 3 pounds per...

that is not as high as I thought it would be. I paid 19.60 per bag for the last ton I bought of Furst McNess mineral. It is good mineral and i dont mind paying for good mineral. Without it I would be in trouble.

jkwilson. Which product do you use and how expensive is it? Do you feed one of the products that is for free choice or do you mix it with your mineral? Thanks

This is my belief on mineral. I buy on nutritional content and try not to pay any attention to company but this is what I have found. You can look at the sources of the minerals on the tag and just because the sources and amounts look the same you wont always get the same results out of the...

BVD can be a funny thing and sometimes hard to find. Just because you have healthy calves does not mean you do not have it. Also just because you have vacc. them does not mean you do not have Lepto. I vacc. twice a year for lepto. It seems to me that lepto is harder to be protected from...

I use Fuerst McNess bova breeder 6 or 9 and it runs about 20.50 per bag. The 6 and 9 is the phos. content.

Had a cow do that last year but stepped right above the hoof and It had trouble up until I sold it at 700 pounds. The hoof grew funny and it limped and walked on the other side of the foot. Maybe yours since it hit a little lower will come out of it.

You know I have heard that but dont know if I believe it. I used to see them all the time when I was very young and they vanished. They went missing before we started worming cows. When my dad was alive he never wormed cows but I started prolly 25 years ago but they were already gone then.

Yes I creep feed calves on them and never have a problem. I also wean my calves and feed them about 8 pounds per head per day with fee choice hay through the winter. For me there is no better feed. I know alot of people that do the same thing and it works well. On the calves that are weaned I...

Herfords are the worlds worst about it showing up in them.

BVD can effect the immune system and cause numerous problems. Once they have it they can sometimes come down with whatever is hottest in the area. It may look like one thing but be BVD as the real cause.

Hey I have two of each and may be a little different but not deformed. Ha

I agree with the rest. Nothing beats the cows milk and you will see improvement when it gets her milk if it hasnt been too long without colostrum.

This is where you learn patience. I had a cow stay down 3 weeks and get up. If the cow is changing sides she is doing good. If not you will need to roll her over or help her chnge sides. I am not big on lifting them. I think you can do more damage than good alot of times. She needs time to heal...
