Quigly, it's on the vulva skin (no hair to be lost). My vet said ticks cannot penetrate the thick hide of cattle! I had to tell him he was wrong. I've pulled them off faces, navels and the thin skin of the vulva as well as under the chin and dewlap. I haven't had ringworm here for at least 5...

Think you are right, we do have lyme bearing ticks in this area. Vet says 'no confirmed cases or evidence of lyme in cattle' but is going to give me long-acting tetracycline. Thanks you'all

Today they're not shiny, and now have a raised outer ring.

Yes, I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.

Each circle has only one central puncture (assuming it's a puncture), a small black dot. The circle looks so round and flat it looks like a plastic disk. Never seen anything like this. Whatever it is, there is two of them side by side.

Healthy yearling heifer, just noticed two circular marks on vulva skin. They are side by side and about the size of a dime, completely round, not raised, smooth dark gray (same color as the skin) with a puncture in the center. They look nothing like ringworm. South-eastern Ontario.

I got a little calf that cant straiten out on the front legs. Anyone here had any luck with tetracycline for that and did you splint them with it too? simon

Got it done! Thank you Farmerjon! :)

I have an old hay elevator. I got the sliding upper end adjustment unsiezed now I need to remove one of the chain links. It looks like if you tip the link up, it should tap out of the slot. Except it wont. Whats the trick? Thanks.

Thanks for your ideas. I got a hold of the vet and he said it was ok to flush it with peroxide and tie her so it would bubble out and drain. The pour on wormer is to prevent fly strike. She is now back inside where I can check it freuqnetly and spray.

Yearling heifer vet dehorned 3 wekks ago. Kept in because of flies the let out as all looked good and dry but hole had not started to fill in. She was done at the time, and redone, with a pour-on systemic wormer and sprayed with blu spray. Today after a rain there is greyish goop coming out of...

OK I got hold of a vet and got an answer. She was in heat and got bred (only 12 months old) I gave her the 5ml lutalyse on day 11 (told by vet to do it between days 10 and 12) The vet said I would not see a heat as a result of the Lut shot, and as it will have disrupted her normal cycle, to...

Dieselbeef if your talking to me, Im not shooting stuff up. A year old heffer got accidentally bred. Yes she was in heat, yes I called the vet, he told me to give her 5 ml lutalyse between days 10 and twelve after her being bred by the bull. I did it on day eleven. Ive got ONE question and that...

Yes she got bred by the bull, I gave shot of lut 5ml. at 11 days after. Should the shot have made her show a heat? I did not see one after the shot. Vet is away Im wondering if I should give her another.

I had a yearling heffer only twelve month get in with the bull vet said to give her lutalase day ten to twelve after. I did not see heat signs but maybe because she is not with any others. Should I have seen heat in her after the shot? Wait now to see if she gets in heat again or should I do...

Is there a timing for the drug? One shot only?

Quick quick, give her thiamine shots..seen it in goats/sheep. It can affect one or a few only. She could go downhill rapidly and the thiamine is cheap and could save your heifer and in any case would not do her any harm. Delay and the damage may be irreversable.ck

Thanks for the timely replies. Just what I needed to know, as cow is coming in heat now, having calved fifteen days ago. I need to move her to an earlier calving, but didnt want to do it, if there was any particular risk in doing so. (ms) cowkeeper :)

Is it common to breed cows at first heat after calving? If not, why not? ck

I'm not in U.S. but I empathise as I buy my hay, and it keeps on raining. BUT, maybe you should be calling your congressman about something else. Isn't the insanity in using feed crops for fuel? Seems to me the crisis that would have conservation land used for hay, has been created by...
