Does anyone have a really simple crop share contract? Thanks

We are raising some holstein bull calves-now steer calves. They are being fed milk from our jersey cows. They have it free choice and are starting to get good quaility pasture. We will be adding grain soon as well. What should these guys weigh in Oct? We got them June 30th. I don't know...

How long is normal for a cow to have discharge after calving? I have had a cow not clean very well this year and had to get the vet to treat her but now I don't know if I am being paranoid or what. I had a cow calve last week that still has some pinkish stuff coming out so I put some boluses in...

We were talking to a Jersey breeder about one of our jersey's and she said to not stop milking her until she is bred. Is this just because they want to get as much milk out of them as they can or are they more fertile when they are milking? She calved in August 2007 and didn't get bred back...

OK I have a jersey cow that we believe isn't bred. I have tried to check her but couldn't find anything. Have seen her come into heat but not for the last 2 months. I am not getting a vet out for this as it would be way to expensive to get him out to check one cow. So anyways. Her calf that...

I have a 3 year old that aborted her calf Dec 26 and I am wondering if I could put a calf on her (yes, I know I should have done it then but didn't have time). I ran her through the shoot today and she has a bit of milk still. Will she possibly be able to feed a calf? I would be supplementing...

Its an older trailer but we got a smokin deal on it. The people were moving and had to get rid of it we offered what we could afford and they accepted it and delivered it. Its a 23 ft stock trailer, 16 foot floor, center gate, slider, and side door. Its got some rusted though spots on the...

Has anyone ever noticed that the cows eyes go kinda cloudy when they have a infection after calving? Last year a cow aborted twins and her eyes went cloudy cleard up after 3 days of antibiotics. This year had a cow not clean properly and her eyes went cloudy and they cleared up in a few days...

We got DUMPED on last night and this moring so far I think we have gotten 1 foot and 1/2. It was real fun doing chores this morning. Hubby has A LOT of snow to push tonight when he gets home!

I have a holstein hefier that was born in May 2007 we are going to breed her this year and I am thinking of breeding her AI with sexed semen to another holstein to get a heifer to sell. What we are debating though is to breed her to our bull this year and try AI next year. There is a diary guy...

I am milking our jersey cow right now and she has her heifer calf on her. I get anywhere from 1-2 gallon to a gallon and half milking. I think it depends what her baby is up to for the amount I get. If the calf is goes to sleep when I bring them in or if she stays outside and is harassing the...

My 21 month old daughter bailed in a big mud puddle/ wet cow poop. Anyone got any good ways to get out the stains?

My 21 month old daughter bailed in a big mud puddle/ wet cow poop. Anyone got any good ways to get out the stains?

Around our place none of our calves poop-well at least the ones nursing. The only way you would know we have calves is to see them. Our 2 dogs eat it as fast as it comes out. The problem is that it is making the older dog fat and she can't catch the coyotes as good. I really don't want to tie...

I was on the valley vet site and I don't know if they ship to Canada but as I was looking through its hard to pick products when you can't actually pick-up the bottle and read the back. What products do you recommend for: Calcium Mastitis Pro-bios Eletrolytes I can't believe how much cheaper a...

How long does it take for a cow to dry up? I know with people or myself ;-) it was less than a month. Our cow has been dry for almost a month and still seems to have quite a bit of milk sloshing around in her bag. She is a jersey.

I have a call into the vet because I have never had a cow with mastitis this bad, but he is away until next Friday so I am SOL. I started to dry her off Jan 18, 2008 because she wasn't holding her weight very well and is quite skinny. She calved Aug 24, 2007 and she did have a bad case of milk...

My 4 year's old pet/best friend cow has had a red heifer. She was bred to a angus/hereford bull last year. The babies name is Thumblina-Barbie. Everything on this place seems to be getting middle names must be the in thing in a 4 year olds world. This heifer is out of the cow that we dressed...

I was asked tonight how much you can tube into a calf at once and I didn't know the answer. I usually do 2 litres(4 pints I think). But when I am cottle feeding them they get 4 litres(1 gallon) per feeding, can you put that into a calf when tubing? I would almost be scared to do that but I...

I have a calf that I talked to the vet about today and he prescribed nuflor and banamine. The calf has pneumonia and soon after he got the drugs his breathing eased. He still has some scours that I have been battling with sulfas and electrolyes. My question is can I give him a sulfa or...
