    Iowa Dove - Not Since 1918

    My 13 year old son took our family's first Iowa dove yesterday afternoon on Iowa's opening day! The citizens of Iowa haven't been able to do that since 1918.

    Calf with Bloat or Something Else

    I have an angus heifer with a distended left side. It's been that way for several days. She's a little over a year old and is being fed out with a steer because she was pretty small to keep as a breeder. I've been feeding her the same ration for weeks and a couple of days ago I noticed her...

    Summer Pneumonia

    I had a calf go down yesterday morning. He was an angus steer that was 200-250 hundred pounds, not weaned. Found him hanging out in a puddle and pretty listless. He got up but stood with his hind legs further back than normal, didn't run off like normal and his head kind of down etc. Neighbor...

    Hanging water bag/placenta

    I have a 3 year old angus cow. She had her water bag out for a day and a night and it was broken so got her into the chute and reached in to see if everything was okay. Everything felt okay, but rather than wait I pulled it. The heifer came out fine and the cow was released and went right to...

    Grazing Last Years Sorghum

    I have access to a sorghum field that was used as a food plot for deer and pheasant last fall. Anybody ever graze sorghum after it sat all year? Anybody know if prussic acid or anything else would be an issue for pregnant cows?

    Feeding Nursing Cows

    I have 2 medium size black angus cows that are both about 5 years old. They both calved within the last 3 weeks. I’m replacing my fence so I don’t have them on pasture yet and am feeding them corn, grass hay (brome timothy mix) and with some mineral. Question – Anyone have suggestions on how...
