Hello Again, Have appreciated all the input we've recieved from you folks. Need to ask again... We're new in the business and just starting out. Have had numerous "opinions" given on these topics. Would like some input from you folks. Have 4 Black Angus male calves. It's time to decide to...

We got the cow in to the chute and checked her out. It's a negative on the mastitis. Milked her out. Gave it to the calf. After two days of the electrolytes/milk routine, the calf responded very well. The cow is still royally indignant (she absolutely HATES the chute where as the remainder of...

randiliana, Thanks for the input... 1st we tried to get the mother into a chute and see what the problem was...she about trampled the calf to death in the process so we removed the calf and put it in the barn breezeway where it is quiet, shady and it gets a nice cool breeze. Yes...we've had...

The last of our calves was born on the Summer Solstice...so we named the little Heiffer "Summer" she appeared to be healthy and happy. Both Mom and Summer were doing well until yesterday. Summer was fine in the morning, but, by afternoon, she was lying in the shade in the pasture and could not...

We have had problems with both Cattle and Sheep getting bloated on early clover and alfalfa even though we had an alfalfa/clover/oat/grass mixture. Most of what I've read does not recommend letting either sheep or cattle eat clover or alfalfa until after the clover has bloomed or the alfalfa is...

We've since separated the bull and put him in with a heifer that has given birth many times... She was trying to steal the new borns as she hasn't had hers yet. So, we kind of had a double threat. We'll put her out the minute she shows signs of giving birth. We are going to keep the bull penned...

We have a bottle fed bull that is gentle but, he is still a bull. When there is a fence between him and anyone, he will allow them to pet him and he quite enjoys it. He will eat from our hands and is what we consider, tame. However, when there is no fence between him and ANYONE, we never turn...

Grew up on a dairy farm, YEARS AGO. Bought a small ranch 2 years ago and decided to raise cattle. Leased a bull and bred 8 yearling heifers. We've left the bull in with the heifers until now. Is it safe to leave the bull with the heifers when they begin calving? Will bulls attack or harm calves...
