We need a board for farm dog questions. I'm not sure where to put this but here goes. I read an article written by a vet a long time ago that you can use ivomec injectable as an oral wormer (including heartworm prevention) in dogs. However it is not safe for use on collies or collie crosses...

Just something I've been wondering about. Does freemartinism occur in other species? In all ruminants? In deer? Anybody know much about it?

Anybody out there still plant alfalfa with a horn seeder? My dad thinks he can do a better job with that than anything else... and he's probably right. The problem is, we can't buy them anymore. At least not the good ones that have a cotton canvas bag -- no plastic or vinyl. I did a google...

Just a reminder to everyone to be safe this spring season. Last week my 84 year old dad dropped a 5 yd. dirt scoop on his foot. He was hooking it up and had to jack it up a bit. It slid off the blocks. I guess after farming that many years he's entitled to a mistake. He crushed his foot...

I've been reading the posts about BoSe and how too much can OD a calf. What about vitamin shots? We've never given vitamin shots to calves born out on pasture, but this year we had 6 heifers up at the born and got advise from our vet. He suggested 2 1/2 cc BoSe and 5cc Vit. ADE. Does that...

We have a '93 F150 with electronic 4WD that won't kick in. We can hear the relay click when we push the button, but the motor underneath won't kick it in. The old tried and true "rap it with a hammer" worked for a long time, but now nothing works. Our local mechanic thought it was maybe not...

For a lethargic calf with runny nose, coughing, breathing a little hard... what's the antibiotic of choice? combination antibiotic or LA-200? or is there something better? We've generally had better response from combiotic, but the problem can be catching them again 2 days later. We don't...

We've never given shots to our newborn calves in the past, but would like to start. What do you all give them?

I'm new to the forum and in need of advice. I've been around and looked after cattle all my life and far as the physical end of it goes, but pretty much left the nutrition end of it to my dad. Now my husband and I are getting ready to take over the operation eventually and we have a lot to...
