    4H Balancer Heifer Project Update.New Pics

    First of all the scenery is beautiful. On the calf, I think with a really good haircut, you can see more of what you have. She might need a collar for the neck.

    Down cow won't drink

    We have never had any luck after one goes down. With or without vet, tubings, iv's, etc. Just had one recently that calved one evening, found her in the pond the next morning, at the edge, got her out and fed and watered her for over a week. Had the vet out, she gave her an IV, but even though...

    Coyotes and calves?

    We've had them to grab our calves...We have to keep a jack in our herd to help keep them at bay. Found a newborn last year that had been dragged over the bobwire fence. Two locations....Two jacks. So far this year haven't lost a one.

    Purpose of Extension Office?

    I totally agree with the above post about our county agent's office. If they don't know the answer to your question, they will find out for you, most of the time they know it. They have been very helpful and like he states, great information on the MSU website. Sounds like we are very fortunate!

    Cow Creek merger

    Read where Southern Cattle has acquired Cow Creek Ranch.....I have to wonder what Joe would think about this. The article does not mention Matt at all, so it seems he's out of the picture, but I see where Joy has come on board with the new guys. I don't think he was serious about the ranching...

    ear tags

    We have the same problems, cows/calfs losing their tags, we use the Allflex. Thought about trying the Z tags, more pricey, but tired of having to replace them. We just worked a few head the other day, and already about 5 of them have lost their tags.

    First Calf

    Had one of our heifers deliver her calf in the pond yesterday. Had to end up pulling her out of the pond, she couldn't walk on her hind quarters. Calf died. She's trying to get up today, vet gave her some steroids to get the swelling down, hopefully she'll be up before long. She's scootin...

    Ear tags

    We've used Allflex for years. Have noticed lately that we are losing quite a few of them. Thought about trying the Z tags next go round. I believe Allflex must have something going on with the materials.

    Corgi's for working dogs

    Do these work for cattle? Know someone who has pups crossed with a heeler....Don't know anything about them, have always used heelers. We need a dog that can help my husband and I gather the cattle. We lost our dog a few years back and said we weren't going to have another one, but we're not as...

    Automatic waterers?

    You're right on the ponds Dixie. The weather here in MS has really been surreal this year. Snow this morning in Central MS, sunny by noon. We only experienced some half frozen ones, cows still had plenty to drink from. We are lucky living in the South.

    CALF RE-introduced

    We have had this to happen to weaned calves. Kept them up for weeks, and as soon as they got back around to momma they started all over again. Sometimes it would just be one, and again it might be three. And it was milk, would have it all over their face. So then we would have to start the...

    training

    Where did you get her? We have had heelers, and as everyone has said, you can't start them too early. Commands are the most important thing. We had one that would help us when we worked our cows, but he wouldn't mind us. He wouldn't get off the cows until he was ready, and sometimes that would...

    Cow losing weight

    We've got a cow similar to this. She has been vet checked, complete work up, wormed, shots, all that we know to do, and she will not gain weight. She looks like she is starving. Don't know what else to do with her. She eats good, we even put her up by herself and fed her for a month, to no...
