    LLSF Vantage Point

    Help any advice

    We had a calf that was born in the mud. When I found it. it was almost covered in mud with barely its head sticking out. Took it to the barn and tried for a few hours warming it with blankets, hair dryer and an electric heater. That wasn’t making much of a difference so we put it in a tub of...

    2024 Calving

    First calf of the year. Heifer calf out of Oracle. Haven’t weighed it yet but it looks small prob 65-70lbs. A second calf cow that moved up about 2 wks from last year. I’m always excited for calving season even when it seems to bring more work.

They are now both 10 months old and the one I had no problem but the other one there was no way. We have a bander made to do large calves I’ve done them at 12 months...

    Calf pic

    Was working some cows with hoof rot the other night and took a few pics of the bull calf that stands out right now as a good herd sire prospect. Wanted to see what you guys think about him. His mom is right behind him in the first pic. I don’t think the pic does justice, he is purebred Simmental...

    I took a steer to butcher tonight. He was raised on a nurse cow with another heifer calf that I lost both cows. His weaning weight was 460 at 220 days old. He weighed 1446 tonight at 16 months old. We fed him about 12lbs a day of 12% protein grain mix and free choice hay from weaning to about...

    Something with Calf’s leg

    Have this 2 month old bull calf that I just noticed walking funny today. When he walks straight it’s hard to notice anything but if he turns his hindend is wobbly. I put him in the chute and palpated it and couldn’t feel anything and it didn’t seem hot. When he runs he just kinda hops with his...
