You have nothing to worry about. We treat cows with pirsue, sometimes 5 treatments and 36 hours later they go in the line, EVERYTIME. We never run a sample on Pirsue or Spectramast cows for that matter. 72 Hours of course on the Spectramst, but Pirsue has never, ever, been an issue. Keep rollin!

Look at your prep procedures, E Coli is almost always a prep issue. At our dairy we believe in J-Vac at dry up which has diminished E Coli to a minimum, and solid prep procedures. E Coli doesn't have to be a killer, and using Spectramast along with predef 2x and banamine is a life-saver. Hand...

The difference would be that on a rub instead of spraying is simply that the cows can apply the insecticide wherever they choose or where the cow is having a fly problem. The thing I like about diesel mixtures are that they make the insecticides much more effective through bad weather, for...

Get that animal off of the grain and yes, most of the replies who said to throw some grass hay in front of him is absolutely right. Grain does nothing more for them than give them energy to be active (so they will exercise and burn off fat that overconditions them) and produce muscle or beef. It...

As a dairy farmer in Illinois, I can assure you that hooking a calve up to a tractor and pulling it is probably the most risky way to accomplish the calving process. There are a few stages that take place during calving and it can appear that a first calf heifer probably was tired of the calving...
